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 him that excelleth upon Gittith. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Sing ioyfully vnto God our strength: sing loude vnto the God of Iaakob.

2 Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.

Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harpe with the viole.

3 Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.

Blowe the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed, at our feast day.

4 Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.

For this is a statute for Israel, and a Law of the God of Iaakob.

5 Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin’ i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.

Hee set this in Ioseph for a testimonie, when hee came out of the land of Egypt, where I heard a language, that I vnderstoode not.

6 Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.

I haue withdrawen his shoulder from the burden, and his handes haue left the pots.

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 affliction and I deliuered thee, and answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I prooued thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

8 Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.

Heare, O my people, and I wil protest vnto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken vnto me,

9 Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.

Let there bee no strange god in thee, neither worship thou any 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, which 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 would not heare my voyce, and Israel would none of me.

12 Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.

So I gaue them vp vnto the hardnesse of their heart, and they haue walked in their owne cousels.

13 Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;

Oh that my people had hearkened vnto me, and Israel had walked in my wayes.

14 Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;

I would soone haue humbled their enemies, and turned mine hand against their aduersaries.

15 Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;

The haters of the Lord should haue bene subiect vnto him, and their time should haue endured for euer.

16 Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.

And God would haue fedde them with the fatte of wheat, and with honie out of the rocke would I haue sufficed thee.
