< 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.
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin’ ny valiha.
Take up the 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 up the trumpet in the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
4 Fa lalàna ho an’ ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
For it 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 appointed it in Joseph for testimony, when he went out 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 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, O 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 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, which 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 let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk 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;
I should soon subdue their enemies, and turn 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 the LORD should submit themselves 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.
He should feed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I satisfy thee.
