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.
To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, Yea let them that 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 is driven about, Let them be driven about, —As wax is melted before a fire, Let the lawless perish before God.
3 Fa ny marina mifaly; eny, ravoravo eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy ka faly tokoa.
But let, the righteous, be glad, let them exult before God, Yea let them rejoice with gladness.
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 ye to God, Make music of his Name, —Lift up (a song), to him that rideth through the waste plains, —Since Yah is his name, exult ye before him.
5 Rain’ ny kamboty sy Mpanome rariny ny mpitondratena Andriamanitra, ao amin’ ny fonenany masìna.
The father of the fatherless, And the advocate of widows, Is God, in his holy habitation.
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, is he that causeth the solitary to dwell in a home, That bringeth out prisoners into prosperity, But, the rebellious, have made their habitation in a sunburnt land.
7 Andriamanitra ô, raha nandeha teo alohan’ ny olonao Hianao ka namaky ny efitra, (Sela)
O God! When thou camest forth before thy people, When thou didst stride through the wilderness, (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, trembled, Yea, the heavens, dripped at the presence of God, —This Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Ranonoram-pitahiana no nalatsakao tamin’ ny lovanao, Andriamanitra ô; ary raha kotra izy, dia novelombelominao.
A bounteous rain, dost thou shed abroad, O God, upon thine inheritance, When exhausted, thou thyself, hast supported it:
10 Ny olonao tamàn-toerana teo; mamboatra ho an’ ny ory araka ny fahasoavanao Hianao, Andriamanitra ô.
Thy living host, have remained therein, Thou dost provide, in thy bounty, for the humbled ones—O God!
11 Ny Tompo manome ny teny; ary ny vehivavy mpilaza soa dia antokony lehibe.
Let, My Lord, but give the word, The herald bands, will be a mighty host:
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, she that stayeth at home, shall share the spoil.
13 Raha mandry eo amin’ ny vala ianareo, dia ho tahaka ny ela-boromailala miravaka volafotsy, ary ny volony miravaka volamena tsara
Though ye rest between the folds, The wings of the dove, shall be covered with silver, And, her pinions, with green-shimmering gold.
14 Raha aelin’ ny Tsitoha eo ny mpanjaka maro, dia latsaka ny oram-panala ao Zalmona.
When the Almighty scattereth kings therein, It will gleam like snow in the gloom:
15 Tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra ny tendrombohitr’ i Basana. Tendrombohitra maro tampona ny tendrombohitr’ i Basana.
A mighty mountain, 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.
Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever!
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 two myriads—thousands repeated, My Lord, is among them Sinai, is in the sanctuary!
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.
Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.
19 Isaorana anie ny Tompo Izay mitondra ny entan-tsika isan’ andro isan’ andro, eny, Andriamanitra Izay famonjena antsika. (Sela)
Blessed be My Lord! Day by day, he beareth our burden for us, GOD himself, is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Andriamanitra no Andriamanitry ny famonjena ho antsika; ary an’ i Jehovah Tompo ny fanafahana amin’ ny fahafatesana.
The GOD we have, is a GOD of saving deeds, And, due to Yahweh, My Lord, are escapes from death.
21 Fa Andriamanitra mamely mafy ny lohan’ ny fahavalony, dia ny tampon-doha lava volo an’ izay mandroso amin’ ny fahadisoany.
Yea, God himself, will smite through the head of his foes, —The hairy crown of him that is marching on in his guilty deeds.
22 Lazain’ ny Tompo hoe: hampody ny any Basana Aho; hampody ny amin’ ny ranomasina lalina Aho,
Said My Lord, From Bashan, will I bring back, —I will bring back from the depths of the sea:
23 Mba hampihosenanao rà ny tongotrao, ary ho anjaran’ ny lelan’ ny amboanao ny fahavalo.
That thou mayest bathe thy foot in blood, —The tongue of thy dogs, from the foes, hath its portion.
24 Efa hita ny fandehananao, Andriamanitra ô, dia ny fandehanan’ Andriamanitro, Mpanjakako, ao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna.
They have seen thy progress O God, The progress of my GOD, my king into the sanctuary:
25 Mialoha ny mpihira, ary manaraka ny mpitendry valiha, eo afovoan’ ny zatovovavy mively ampongatapaka.
In front are the singers, Behind are the harpers, In the midst of damsels playing on timbrels:
26 Misaora an’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny fiangonana, eny, misaora ny Tompo, ianareo ary amin’ ny loharanon’ ny Isiraely.
In the congregations, bless ye God, My Lord, from among the called of Israel:
27 Indry Benjamina kely, mpanapaka azy, ny antokon’ ny mpanapaka ny Joda, ny mpanapaka ny Zebolona sy ny mpanapaka ny Naftaly.
There, is Benjamin, the Diminutive—ruling them, The princes of Judah—their throng, The princes of Zebulun, The princes of Naphtali.
28 Andriamanitrao no nampahery anao; Ry Andriamanitra Izay miasa ho anay ô, asehoy ny herinao.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength, —The strength, O God, which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Noho ny tempolinao eo an-tampon’ i Jerosalema, no hitondran’ ny mpanjaka maro fanatitra ho Anao.
Because of thy temple above Jerusalem, Unto thee, shall kings bear along a gift—
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 thou, The wild beast of the reeds, The herd of mighty oxen among the calves of the peoples—Each one bowing down with bars of silver, —Scatter thou the peoples, who in wars take delight.
31 Ho avy ny tremalahin’ i Egypta; Etiopia halaky hananty tanana amin’ Andriamanitra.
Ambassadors come out of Egypt, The Ethiopian, eagerly stretcheth out his hands, unto God.
32 Ry fanjakana ambonin’ ny tany, mihirà ho an’ Andriamanitra; mankalazà ny Tompo, (Sela)
Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God, Praise in song Adonay. (Selah)
33 Ilay mitaingina ny lanitry ny lanitra izay hatry ny fahagola; Indro, mamoaka ny feony Izy, dia feo mahery.
Unto him that rideth upon the most ancient heavens, Lo! he uttereth his voice, a voice of strength.
34 Ekeo ho an’ Andriamanitra ny hery; ambonin’ ny Isiraely ny voninahiny, ary ny heriny any amin’ ny lanitra.
Ascribe ye strength unto God, —Over Israel, is his majesty, And his strength, in the skies. To be revered is God, for his sanctuary, —
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.
As for the GOD of Israel, he, is giving strength and abundant might to the people. Blessed be God!
