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 highly 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.
Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Andriamanitra ao an-tranon’ andriana ao dia nanao izay hahafantarana Azy ho fiarovana avo.
God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.
4 Fa he! niangona ny mpanjaka maro, niara-nandroso avokoa izy.
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.
5 Nijery izy ka talanjona terỳ; Very hevitra izy ka nalaky nandositra;
They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.
6 Hovitra no nahazo azy teo, dia tahaka ny fanaintainan’ ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.
7 Amin’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no namakianao ny sambon’ i Tarsisy.
With the east wind Thou breakest 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 have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Efa nieritreritra ny famindram-ponao izahay, Andriamanitra ô, tao anatin’ ny tempolinao.
We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.
10 Araka ny anaranao, Andriamanitra ô, no fiderana Anao hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany; feno fahamarinana ny tananao ankavanana.
As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Aoka hifaly ny tendrombohitra Ziona, aoka ho ravoravo ny zanaka-vavin’ Joda, noho ny fitsaranao.
Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.
12 Manodidina an’ i Ziona ianareo, eny, mandehana manodidina azy; isao ny tilikambony,
Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.
13 Hevero tsara ny mandany, diniho ny tranon’ andrianany, mba hambaranareo amin’ ny taranaka mandimby.
Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 Fa izany no Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitsika mandrakizay doria; Izy no hitarika antsika na dia hatramin’ ny fahafatesana aza.
For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.
