Salamo 48
1 Tonon-kira. Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Lehibe Jehovah ka mendrika hoderaina indrindra, ao an-tanànan’ Andriamanitsika, ao an-tendrombohiny masìna.
A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily 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 elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.
3 Andriamanitra ao an-tranon’ andriana ao dia nanao izay hahafantarana Azy ho fiarovana avo.
God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
4 Fa he! niangona ny mpanjaka maro, niara-nandroso avokoa izy.
For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
5 Nijery izy ka talanjona terỳ; Very hevitra izy ka nalaky nandositra;
They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
6 Hovitra no nahazo azy teo, dia tahaka ny fanaintainan’ ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
7 Amin’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no namakianao ny sambon’ i Tarsisy.
With an east wind, wilt thou shatter 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)
Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
9 Efa nieritreritra ny famindram-ponao izahay, Andriamanitra ô, tao anatin’ ny tempolinao.
We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, 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, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
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 exult, Because of thy judgments.
12 Manodidina an’ i Ziona ianareo, eny, mandehana manodidina azy; isao ny tilikambony,
Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
13 Hevero tsara ny mandany, diniho ny tranon’ andrianany, mba hambaranareo amin’ ny taranaka mandimby.
Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after 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, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
