Salamo 97
1 Jehovah no Mpanjaka, aoka ho faly ny tany; Aoka ho ravoravo ny nosy maro.
The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
2 Rahona sy aizim-pito no manodidina Azy Fahamarinana sy fitsarana no fanorenan’ ny seza fiandrianany.
He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
3 Misy afo mialoha Azy ka mandevona ny fahavalony manodidina.
Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
4 Mahazava izao tontolo izao ny helany; Mahita izany ny tany ka mihorohoro.
His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
5 Ny tendrombohitra miempo tahaka ny savoka eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Dia eo anatrehan’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra.
The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Ny lanitra maneho ny fahamarinany, Ary ny firenena rehetra mahita ny voninahiny.
The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
7 Aoka ho menatra izay rehetra manompo sarin-javatra voasokitra sy miarahaba tena ny amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy; Miankohofa eo anoloan’ i Jehovah ianareo andriamanitra rehetra.
All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
8 Ziona mandre ka faly; Ary ravoravo ny zanakavavin’ i Joda Noho ny fitsaranao, Jehovah ô.
Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9 Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, no avo indrindra ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; Efa avo ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra Hianao.
For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
10 Hianareo izay tia an’ i Jehovah, mankahalà ny ratsy; Miaro ny fanahin’ ny olony masìna Izy Ary mamonjy azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
11 Ny fahazavana no voafafy ho an’ ny marina, Ary ny fifafiana ho an’ ny mahitsy fo.
Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
12 Mifalia amin’ i Jehovah, ry olo-marina, Ary miderà ny anarany masìna.
Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
