Salamo 48
1 Tonon-kira. Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Lehibe Jehovah ka mendrika hoderaina indrindra, ao an-tanànan’ Andriamanitsika, ao an-tendrombohiny masìna.
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2 Avo mahafinaritra, fifalian’ ny tany rehetra, ny tendrombohitra Ziona, eo amin’ ny ilany avaratra, tanànan’ ny Mpanjaka lehibe.
Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
3 Andriamanitra ao an-tranon’ andriana ao dia nanao izay hahafantarana Azy ho fiarovana avo.
God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
4 Fa he! niangona ny mpanjaka maro, niara-nandroso avokoa izy.
For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
5 Nijery izy ka talanjona terỳ; Very hevitra izy ka nalaky nandositra;
They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Hovitra no nahazo azy teo, dia tahaka ny fanaintainan’ ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
7 Amin’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no namakianao ny sambon’ i Tarsisy.
With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
8 Araka izay efa rentsika no hitantsika, tao an-tanànan’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, tao an-tanànan’ Andriamanitsika. Andriamanitra mampitoetra azy mandrakizay. (Sela)
As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.
9 Efa nieritreritra ny famindram-ponao izahay, Andriamanitra ô, tao anatin’ ny tempolinao.
Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
10 Araka ny anaranao, Andriamanitra ô, no fiderana Anao hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany; feno fahamarinana ny tananao ankavanana.
Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Aoka hifaly ny tendrombohitra Ziona, aoka ho ravoravo ny zanaka-vavin’ Joda, noho ny fitsaranao.
Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
12 Manodidina an’ i Ziona ianareo, eny, mandehana manodidina azy; isao ny tilikambony,
March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
13 Hevero tsara ny mandany, diniho ny tranon’ andrianany, mba hambaranareo amin’ ny taranaka mandimby.
consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
14 Fa izany no Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitsika mandrakizay doria; Izy no hitarika antsika na dia hatramin’ ny fahafatesana aza.
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
