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.
Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3 Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.
Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
4 Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to 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 for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
6 Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
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 upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
8 Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.
Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
9 Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.
There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
10 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta; atanatanao ny vavanao, dia hofenoiko.
For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee 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 heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
12 Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.
So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
13 Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
14 Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;
I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
15 Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
16 Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
