Salamo 68
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Tonon-kira. Aoka hitsangana Andriamanitra, ka hiely ny fahavalony; ary aoka izay mankahala Azy handositra ny tavany.
For the leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. God arises, his enemies scatter: they who hate him flee before him.
2 Tahaka ny fanely setroka no fanelinao azy; tahaka ny fiempon’ ny savoka eo anoloan’ ny afo no aoka hahalevonan’ ny ratsy fanahy eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
As smoke before wind is driven, as wax melts before fire, so before God vanish the wicked.
3 Fa ny marina mifaly; eny, ravoravo eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy ka faly tokoa.
But the righteous rejoice in God’s presence, they exult with exceeding joy.
4 Mihirà ho an’ Andriamanitra, mankalazà ny anarany; manamboara lalana ho an’ izay mitaingina mamaky ny efitra Jehovah no anarany ary mifalia eo anatrehany.
Sing to God, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
5 Rain’ ny kamboty sy Mpanome rariny ny mpitondratena Andriamanitra, ao amin’ ny fonenany masìna.
Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
6 Andriamanitra mampitoetra an-trano izay irery tena; mamoaka ny mpifatotra ho amin’ ny fanambinana Izy; fa ny maditra hitoetra amin’ ny tany karankaina.
God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
7 Andriamanitra ô, raha nandeha teo alohan’ ny olonao Hianao ka namaky ny efitra, (Sela)
God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, (Selah)
8 Dia nihorohoro ny tany, ary nitaitaika ny lanitra, tamin’ ny fanatrehan’ Andriamanitra, na iry Sinay iry aza tamin’ ny fanatrehan’ Andriamanitra, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai’s God at the presence of God, Israel’s God.
9 Ranonoram-pitahiana no nalatsakao tamin’ ny lovanao, Andriamanitra ô; ary raha kotra izy, dia novelombelominao.
Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
10 Ny olonao tamàn-toerana teo; mamboatra ho an’ ny ory araka ny fahasoavanao Hianao, Andriamanitra ô.
A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
11 Ny Tompo manome ny teny; ary ny vehivavy mpilaza soa dia antokony lehibe.
The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:
12 Ireo mpanjaka be miaramila dia vaky mandositra; ary ny vehivavy izay mitoetra ao an-trano no mizara ny babo.
“Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
13 Raha mandry eo amin’ ny vala ianareo, dia ho tahaka ny ela-boromailala miravaka volafotsy, ary ny volony miravaka volamena tsara
dove’s wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,
14 Raha aelin’ ny Tsitoha eo ny mpanjaka maro, dia latsaka ny oram-panala ao Zalmona.
set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.”
15 Tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra ny tendrombohitr’ i Basana. Tendrombohitra maro tampona ny tendrombohitr’ i Basana.
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16 Ry tendrombohitra maro tampona, nahoana ianareo no mihendry ny tendrombohitra izay tian’ Andriamanitra hitoerany? eny, hitoetra ao mandrakizay Jehovah.
You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?
17 Ny kalesin’ Andriamanitra dia roa alina, eny, arivo arivo; ny Tompo no eo aminy; Sinay dia eo amin’ ny itoerana masìna.
The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.
18 Efa niakatra ho any amin’ ny avo Hianao ka mitondra babo; efa nandray fanomezana teo amin’ ny olombelona Hianao ― eny, teo amin’ ny maditra aza, ― mba hitoeran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra any.
You did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.
19 Isaorana anie ny Tompo Izay mitondra ny entan-tsika isan’ andro isan’ andro, eny, Andriamanitra Izay famonjena antsika. (Sela)
Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our savior. (Selah)
20 Andriamanitra no Andriamanitry ny famonjena ho antsika; ary an’ i Jehovah Tompo ny fanafahana amin’ ny fahafatesana.
Our God is a God who is savior. The ways of escape from death are known to the Lord God.
21 Fa Andriamanitra mamely mafy ny lohan’ ny fahavalony, dia ny tampon-doha lava volo an’ izay mandroso amin’ ny fahadisoany.
Yes, God will shatter the head of his foes the rough scalp of those who strut on in their sins.
22 Lazain’ ny Tompo hoe: hampody ny any Basana Aho; hampody ny amin’ ny ranomasina lalina Aho,
The Lord said: “I will bring you home from Bashan, home from the depths of the sea,
23 Mba hampihosenanao rà ny tongotrao, ary ho anjaran’ ny lelan’ ny amboanao ny fahavalo.
that your feet you may bathe in blood, and your dogs lick their share of the foe.”
24 Efa hita ny fandehananao, Andriamanitra ô, dia ny fandehanan’ Andriamanitro, Mpanjakako, ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna.
In the temple appear God’s triumphal processions, processions in praise of my king and my God,
25 Mialoha ny mpihira, ary manaraka ny mpitendry valiha, eo afovoan’ ny zatovovavy mively ampongatapaka.
with singers in front, and minstrels behind, and maidens with timbrels between them, singing,
26 Misaora an’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny fiangonana, eny, misaora ny Tompo, ianareo ary amin’ ny loharanon’ ny Isiraely.
“You of the well-spring of Israel, bless the Lord God in the dance.”
27 Indry Benjamina kely, mpanapaka azy, ny antokon’ ny mpanapaka ny Joda, ny mpanapaka ny Zebolona sy ny mpanapaka ny Naftaly.
There, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
28 Andriamanitrao no nampahery anao; Ry Andriamanitra Izay miasa ho anay ô, asehoy ny herinao.
God, show your strength, your godlike might, as you did in the past,
29 Noho ny tempolinao eo an-tampon’ i Jerosalema, no hitondran’ ny mpanjaka maro fanatitra ho Anao.
from your temple that crowns Jerusalem. Kings shall bring tribute to you.
30 Teneno mafy ny biby eny anaty zozoro sy ny fivorian’ ny ombilahy mbamin’ ireo vahoaka zanak’ omby, dia izay miankohoka manatitra anja-bolafotsy aelezo ny olona tia ady
Rebuke the beast of the reed, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Trample down the lovers of lies. Scatter the nations whose joy is in war.
31 Ho avy ny tremalahin’ i Egypta; Etiopia halaky hananty tanana amin’ Andriamanitra.
May they come from Egypt with gifts of oil, Ethiopia haste with full hands to God.
32 Ry fanjakana ambonin’ ny tany, mihirà ho an’ Andriamanitra; mankalazà ny Tompo, (Sela)
Sing to God, O you kingdoms of earth, make melody to the Lord. (Selah)
33 Ilay mitaingina ny lanitry ny lanitra izay hatry ny fahagola; Indro, mamoaka ny feony Izy, dia feo mahery.
Praise him who rides on the ancient heavens. See! He utters his voice, his mighty voice.
34 Ekeo ho an’ Andriamanitra ny hery; ambonin’ ny Isiraely ny voninahiny, ary ny heriny any amin’ ny lanitra.
Ascribe strength to the God over Israel, whose strength and majesty live in the skies.
35 Mahatahotra Hianao, Andriamanitra ô, ao amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna; Andriamanitry ny Isiraely no manome hery sy tanjaka ho an’ ny olona. Isaorana anie Andriamanitra.
Awe-inspiring is God in his holy place, it is Israel’s God who gives strength and might to his people. Blessed be God.
