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 [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness.
2 Avo mahafinaritra, fifalian’ ny tany rehetra, ny tendrombohitra Ziona, eo amin’ ny ilany avaratra, tanànan’ ny Mpanjaka lehibe.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount Zion, [on] the sides 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 is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 Fa he! niangona ny mpanjaka maro, niara-nandroso avokoa izy.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 Nijery izy ka talanjona terỳ; Very hevitra izy ka nalaky nandositra;
They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away.
6 Hovitra no nahazo azy teo, dia tahaka ny fanaintainan’ ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Amin’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no namakianao ny sambon’ i Tarsisy.
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
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 will establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Efa nieritreritra ny famindram-ponao izahay, Andriamanitra ô, tao anatin’ ny tempolinao.
We have thought of 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.
According to 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 rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, 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: tell the towers thereof.
13 Hevero tsara ny mandany, diniho ny tranon’ andrianany, mba hambaranareo amin’ ny taranaka mandimby.
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider 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 this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.
