Salamo 33
1 Mihobia ho an’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry olo-marina; fa mendrika hataon’ ny olo-mahitsy ny fiderana.
Shout for joy in the Lord, you righteous: praise for the upright is seemly.
2 Miderà an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny lokanga; mankalazà Azy amin’ ny valiha tory folo.
Give thanks to the Lord on the lyre, play to him on a ten-stringed harp.
3 Mihirà fihiram-baovao ho Azy; mitendre tsara amin’ ny feo fifaliana.
Sing to him a new song, play skilfully and shout merrily.
4 Fa mahitsy ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ary ny asany rehetra dia mahatoky avokoa.
For the Lord is straight in his promise; and all that he does is in faithfulness.
5 Tia fahamarinana sy rariny Izy; henika ny famindram-pon’ i Jehovah ny tany.
Justice and right he loves; the earth is full of his kindness.
6 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah no nanaovana ny lanitra; ary ny fofonain’ ny vavany no nanaovana ny hamaroany rehetra.
By his word the heavens were made, all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7 Mampiavosa ny rano ao an-dranomasina ho toy ny antontan-javatra Izy; mitahiry ny rano lalina ao an-trano fitehirizana Izy.
He gathers the sea in a bottle, the ocean he puts into store-houses.
8 Aoka hatahotra an’ i Jehovah ny tany rehetra; aoka hangovitra eo anatrehany ny mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao.
Let the whole world honour the Lord, let all who live on earth be in awe.
9 Fa Izy no niteny dia ary izany; Izy no nandidy, dia nitoetra mafy izany.
For at his word it came into being, at his command it stood forth.
10 Jehovah mahafoana ny fisainan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; Mahatsinontsinona ny hevitry ny olona Izy.
The Lord frustrates the designs of the nations, what the peoples have purposed, he brings to nought,
11 Ny fisainan’ i Jehovah maharitra mandrakizay, ny hevitry ny fony mahatratra ny taranaka fara mandimby.
but the Lord’s own design will stand forever, and what his heart has purposed, through all generations.
12 Sambatra ny firenena izay manana an’ i Jehovah ho Andriamaniny, dia ny olona nofidiny ho lovany.
Happy the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for himself as his own.
13 Eny an-danitra no itsinjovan’ i Jehovah, mijery ny zanak’ olombelona rehetra Izy;
The Lord looks down from heaven, he sees all of humanity;
14 Eo amin’ ny fonenany no ijereny ny mponina rehetra ambonin’ ny tany,
from where he rules he gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 Dia Izy Mpamorona ny fon’ izy rehetra sy Mpamantatra ny asany rehetra.
He fashions the hearts of them all, and gives heed to all that they do.
16 Tsy misy mpanjaka voavonjin’ ny hamaroan’ ny miaramilany; ny olo-mahery tsy voavonjin’ ny haben’ ny heriny.
It is not by great armies that kings are victorious, it is not by great strength that a warrior saves himself;
17 Ny soavaly tsy azo itokiana ho famonjena, ary tsy mahavonjy ny haben’ ny heriny.
false hope is the war-horse to usher in victory, for all its great might it can provide no escape.
18 Indro, ny mason’ i Jehovah mitsinjo izay matahotra Azy, dia izay manantena ny famindram-pony,
See! The eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his kindness;
19 mba hanafaka ny fanahiny amin’ ny fahafatesana, sy hamelona azy, raha misy mosary.
to deliver their life from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Ny fanahintsika miandry an’ i Jehovah; famonjena antsika sy ampingantsika Izy.
We wait for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 Fa Izy no ifalian’ ny fontsika, satria ny anarany masìna no itokiantsika.
For in him our heart is glad, we trust in his holy name.
22 Jehovah ô, aoka ny famindram-ponao hitoetra aminay araka ny anantenanay Anao.
Let your kindness, O Lord, be upon us, as is our hope in you.
