Salamo 84
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-hagitith. Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny tabernakelinao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ô!
“To the chief musician upon Gittith, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” How lovely are thy dwelling-places, O Lord of hosts!
2 Manina sady vonton’ alahelo ny kianjan’ i Jehovah ny fanahiko; ny foko sy ny nofoko mihoby an’ Andriamanitra velona.
My soul desired, yea, it also longed for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh shout with joy unto the living God.
3 Eny, ny tsikirity mahita trano, ary ny sidintsidina mahita akany ho azy hametrahany ny zanany. Dia ny alitaranao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, Mpanjakako sy Andriamanitro.
Even as the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: —[have I found] thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Sambatra izay mitoetra ao an-tranonao; hidera Anao mandrakariva izy. (Sela)
Happy are they who dwell in thy house: they will be continually praising thee. (Selah)
5 Sambatra izay olona manan-kery avy aminao; ao am-pony ny lalana;
Happy is the man whose strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].
6 Raha mandeha mamaky ny lohasaha Baka izy, Dia ataony misy loharano izany, ary ny loha-orana manarom-pitahiana azy.
Passing through the valley of weeping, they will change it into a spring: also the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 Miampy hery eny am-pandehanana izy; samy miseho eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra any Ziona izy rehetra.
They go from strength to strength, each of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8 Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro ô, henoy ny fivavako; mandrenesa ry Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba ô. (Sela)
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Andriamanitra, Ampinganay ô, tsinjovy ka jereo ny tavan’ ny voahosotrao.
[Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy anointed.
10 Fa ny indray andro eo an-kianjanao dia tsara noho ny arivo; aleoko mipetraka eo amin’ ny tokonam-baravaran’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, toy izay mitoetra ao an-dain’ ny ratsy fanahy.
For better is a day in thy courts than a thousand [elsewhere]: I would rather choose to wait at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Fa Masoandro sy Ampinga Jehovah Andriamanitra; fahasoavana sy voninahitra no homen’ i Jehovah; tsy hiaro zava-tsoa amin’ izay mandeha amin’ ny fahitsiana izy.
For a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity.
12 Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, sambatra izay olona matoky Anao.
O Lord of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in thee.
