Salamo 103
1 Andriaño t’Iehovà, ry troko; naho ze hene amako; bangò ty tahina’e masiñe!
[I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. I will praise him [MTY] with all of my inner being, [because] he [MTY] is holy.
2 Andriaño t’Iehovà ry troko, le ko haliño o hasoa’e iabio.
[I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh and never forget all the kind things he has done for me:
3 I mpañaha ze hene hakeo’oy, ie mpanaha ze atao arete’oy.
He forgives all my sins, and he heals me from all my diseases/sicknesses;
4 I mijebañe ty fiai’o boak’an-koboñ’aoy, ie mañohò azo am-piferenaiñañe naho am-pitretrezañe,
he keeps me from dying [MTY], and blesses me by faithfully loving me and acting mercifully to me.
5 ie mahaeneñe ty havelo’o an-draha soa, naho vaoe’e hoe vantio ty hajalahi’o.
He gives me good things during my entire life. He makes me feel young and strong like eagles.
6 Manao ty hahiti’e t’Iehovà naho mitolon-kavantañañe amy ze hene volevolèn-draha.
Yahweh judges justly and (vindicates/does what is right for) all those who have been treated unfairly.
7 Nampahafohine’e amy Mosè o sata’eo o tolon-draha’eo amo ana’ Israeleo.
[Long ago] he revealed to Moses what he planned to do; he showed to the [ancestors of us] Israeli people the mighty things that he was able to do.
8 Miferenaiñe naho mitretre t’Iehovà, malaon-kaviñerañe, vaho enem-pikokoa-migahiñe.
Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly; he does not quickly (get angry/punish us) [when we sin]; he is always [showing us that he] faithfully loves us.
9 Tsy handilo nainai’e re, tsy hangazoña’e kitro katroke ty fifombo’e.
He will not keep rebuking us, and he will not remain angry forever.
10 Tsy nanoe’e mañeva o tahin-tikañeo, tsy nililove’e ty amo hakeo’ tikañeo.
He punishes us for our sins, but he does not punish us [severely] as we deserve [DOU]!
11 Fa mira ami’ty haabo’ i likerañey ami’ty tane toy, ty hajabajaba’ ty fiferenaiña’e amo mañeveñ’ama’eo;
The skies are very high above the earth, and Yahweh’s faithful love for all those who revere him is just as great.
12 Mira ami’ty halavi’ i atiñanañey amy ahandrefañey, ty halavi’ ty nampisitahe’e amantika o fiolàn-tikañeo.
He has taken away [the guilt for] [MTY] our sins, taking it as far from us as the east is from the west.
13 Hambañe ami’ty halèm-pon-drae amo ana’eo ty fitretreza’ Iehovà amo mañeveñe ama’eo,
Just like parents act mercifully toward their children, Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
14 amy te arofoana’e ty vintan-tika; tiahi’e t’ie lemboke.
He knows what our bodies are like; he remembers that [he created us from] dirt, and so we quickly fail [to do what pleases him] [MET].
15 Aa naho ondaty, hoe ahetse o andro’eo hoe voñe an-kivok’ ao ty fandrevaha’e;
We humans do not live forever [SIM]; we are like grass [SIM] [that withers and dies]. We are like wild flowers: They bloom [for a short while],
16 ie iarian-tioke, le tsy eo ka, vaho tsy mahatiahy aze i toe’ey.
but then the [hot] wind blows over them, and they disappear; no one sees them again.
17 Fe boake haehae tsy amam-pipotora’e añe, sikal’ami’ty tsy modo añe, ty fiferenaiña’ Iehovà amy ze mañeveñe ama’e, naho i havantaña’ey amo ana’ o anakeo—
But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever all those who revere him. He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
18 ho amy ze miambeñe i fañina’ey vaho mahatiahy o taro’eo hanoa’e.
he will act that way to all those who obey the agreement he made with them [to bless them if they did what he told them to do], to all those who obey what he has commanded.
19 Fa naore’ Iehovà an-dindiñe ao ty fiambesa’e, vaho mamehe ze he’e i fifehea’ey.
Yahweh made/caused the heavens to be the place where he rules [MTY]; from there he rules over everything.
20 Andriaño t’Iehovà, ry Anjeli’e, ra’elahy an-kaozarañe, mitoloñe amo tsarae’eo, mañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ o tsara’eo.
You angels who belong to Yahweh, praise him! You are powerful creatures/beings who do what he tells you to do; you obey what he commands.
21 Andriaño t’Iehovà, ry hene lahin-defo’eo, ry mpitoro’e mpanao o satrin’ arofo’eo.
Praise Yahweh, you armies/thousands of angels who serve him and do what he desires!
22 Andriaño t’Iehovà, ry hene sata’e tok’aia tok’aia amy fifehea’eio. Andriaño t’Iehovà, ry fiaiko.
All you things that Yahweh has created, praise him; praise him in every place where he rules, everywhere! And I [also] will praise Yahweh!
