Salamo 81
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-gitith. Nataon’ i Asafa. Mihobia ho an’ Andriamanitra herintsika; manaova feo fifaliana ho an’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
2 Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
3 Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
4 Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
5 Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin’ i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.
He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
6 Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
7 Fony azom-pahoriana ianao, dia niantso Ahy, ka namonjy anao Aho; namaly anao tao amin’ ny fiafenan’ ny kotrokorana Aho, ary nizaha toetra anao tao amin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba. (Sela)
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.
Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
9 Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.
There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
10 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta; atanatanao ny vavanao, dia hofenoiko.
I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;
But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
12 Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
13 Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
14 Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;
I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
16 Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
