Salamo 75

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Salamo nataon’ i Asafa. Tonon-kira. Hisaoranay Hianao, Andriamanitra ô; eny, hisaoranay Hianao; fa akaiky ny anaranao; mitory ny fahagagana ataonao ny olona.

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

2 Fa ho avy tokoa amin’ ny fotoana Aho; eny, Izaho no hitsara marina.

When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

3 Mihorohoro ny tany sy ny mponina rehetra eo aminy, nefa Izaho no nanorina ny andriny. (Sela)

The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

4 Hoy izaho tamin’ ny mpirehareha: aza mirehareha, ary tamin’ ny ratsy fanahy: aza manandra-tandroka;

I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

5 Aza manandratra ny tandrokareo ho avo; ary aza miteny sahisahy amin’ ny fahamafian-katoka.

Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

6 Fa tsy avy any atsinanana, na avy any andrefana, na avy any atsimo, ny fisandratana.

For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

7 Fa Andriamanitra no Mpitsara; mampietry ny anankiray Izy ary manandratra ny anankiray kosa.

But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

8 Fa misy kapoaka eo an-tànan’ i Jehovah, feno divay mandroatra miharoharo zavatra iny, ka ampisotroany; eny, ny ratsy fanahy rehetra amin’ ny tany dia hitroka ny faikany.

For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

9 Fa izaho hanambara izany mandrakizay, ka hankalaza an’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.

But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

10 Ary ny tandroky ny ratsy fanahy rehetra hotapahiko; fa ny tandroky ny marina kosa no hasandratra.

All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
