Salamo 8

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira Al-hagitith. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah, Tomponay ô, endrey ny voninahitry ny anaranao amin’ ny tany rehetra! nataonao eny amin’ ny lanitra ny voninahitrao.

For the chief musician; set to the gittith style. A psalm of David. Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth, you who reveal your glory in the heavens above.

2 Avy amin’ ny vavan’ ny ankizy madinika sy ny minono no nanorenanao hery noho ny mpandrafy Anao, mba hampanginanao ny fahavalo sy izay ta-hamaly ratsy.

Out of the mouth of babies and infants you have established praise because of your enemies, so that you might silence both the enemy and the avenger.

3 Raha jereko ny lanitrao, izay asan’ ny rantsan-tananao, sy ny volana aman-kintana, izay noforoninao,

When I look up at your heavens, which your fingers have made, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 Inona moa ny olona, no ahatsiarovanao azy? Ary ny zanak’ olombelona, no amangianao azy?

Of what importance is the human race that you notice them, or mankind that you pay attention to them?

5 Fa efa nataonao ambany kely noho Andriamanitra izy, ary efa nosatrohanao voninahitra sy fiandrianana.

Yet you have made them only a little lower than the heavenly beings and have crowned them with glory and honor.

6 Efa nampanjakainao amin’ ny asan’ ny tananao izy; ny zavatra rehetra dia efa nataonao eo ambanin’ ny tongony,

You make him to rule over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:

7 Dia ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby rehetra, ary ny bibidia koa,

all sheep and oxen, and even the animals of the field,

8 Mbamin’ ny voro-manidina sy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, izay mandeha amin’ ny lalan-dranomasina.

the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, everything that passes through the currents of the seas.

9 Jehovah Tomponay ô, endrey ny voninahitry ny anaranao amin’ ny tany rehetra!

Yahweh our Lord, how magnificent is your name in all the earth!
