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 Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully unto the God of Jacob.
2 Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
Lift up psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Tsofy ny anjomara amin’ ny volana; eny, amin’ ny feno-volana, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoantsika.
Blow on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, on the day of our feast.
4 Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance by 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.
As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.
6 Nampiala ny sorony tamin’ ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.
I removed from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-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)
In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the 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, O my people, and I will give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!
9 Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.
There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to any strange God.
10 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta; atanatanao ny vavanao, dia hofenoiko.
I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it.
11 Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;
But my people did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.
12 Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan’ ny tenany.
So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin’ ny lalako ny Isiraely;
Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;
In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.
15 Izay mankahala an’ i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron’ ny oloko;
The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.
16 Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin’ ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
