< Salamo 105 >

1 Andriaño t’Iehovà, kanjio ty tahina’e; ampahafohino ondatio o fitoloña’eo.
Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
2 Isabò, rengeo an-tsabo; talilio o raha fanjaka nanoe’eo.
Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
3 Mitreña, amy tahina’e masiñey; ampirebehañ’ añ’arofo’ o mipay Iehovào.
Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
4 Paiavo t’Iehovà naho ty haozara’e; tsoeho nainai’e ty lahara’e.
Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
5 Tiahio o raha fanjaka nanoe’eo, o halatsañeo, naho o fizakam-palie’eo.
You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
6 Ry tarira’ i Avrahame mpitoro’eo, ry ana’ Iakobe jinobo’eo;
7 Ie t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika; mahaatseke ty tane toy o fandilia’eo.
He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
8 Toe tiahi’e nainai’e i fañina’ey, i tsara linili’e pak’an-tarira’e fah’arivo’e,
He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
9 i nanoe’e amy Avrahamey, naho i nifantà’e am’ Ietsakey,
that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
10 vaho niventè’e am’Iakobe ho fañè, amy Israele ho fañina nainai’e:
[Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
11 ami’ty hoe: Hatoloko azo ty tane’ Kanàne, ty anjara lova’o.
What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
12 Ie ondaty mbe nitsiampeampe, toe nitsiampe, mbore nirenetane ama’e,
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
13 ie nitsatsà-tane mb’an-tane, boak’am-pifeheañe raike sikal’am’ondaty ila’eo.
They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
14 tsy nimetea’e ho lovilovie’ ondatio; le trinevo’e o mpanjakao ty am’ iereo:
But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
15 Ko mitsipaoke o norizakoo; le ko joie’ areo o mpitokikoo.
“Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
16 Le nikanjie’e san-kerè o taneo, fonga nifolahe’e o tahon-kaneñeo;
He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
17 Nirahe’e t’indaty hiaolo iareo, Iosefe naletake ho ondevo.
So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
18 Jinoi’ iareo am-bahotse o fandia’eo, najo am-po viñe ao i sandri’ey,
[Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 ampara’ ty andro nañenefañe i nitokia’ey, namente aze ty tsara’ Iehovà.
There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
20 Nafanto’ i mpanjakay le nabalake re, hinaha’ ty mpifehe’ ondatio,
The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
21 Nanoe’e talèn’ anjomba’e naho mpamandroñe o vara’eo,
[Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
22 nifehe o roandria’eo an-tsatri’e, nanoro hihitse amo androanavio.
(Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
23 Nimoake e Mitsraime ao ka t’Israele, nitaveañe an-tane’ i Kame añe t’Iakobe.
Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
24 Le nampanaranahe’e ondati’eo; vaho nampaozare’e ambone’ o rafelahi’iareoo
And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
25 Nampifotere’e ty arofo’ iareo halaiñe ondati’eo, hikinia o mpitoro’eo.
[So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
26 Nirahe’e t’i Mosè mpitoro’e, i Aharone jinobo’ey.
[But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
27 Nanoe’ iereo añivo’ iareo eo o raha tsitantane’eo, naho halatsàñe an-tane’ i Kame ao.
Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
28 Nañitrifa’e ieñe, le nampimoromoroñe’e, vaho tsy niolà’ iareo o tsara’eo.
Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
29 Novae’e ho lio ty rano’ iareo, naho zinama’e o fia’ iareoo.
Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
30 Nisamborian-tsahoñe ty tane’ iareo, añ’efem-pandrea’ o mpanjaka’ iareoo.
[Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
31 Nitsara re, le niropahen-daletse, naho nandrambañe ty tane’ iareo ty haon-doha.
[Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
32 Tinolo’e havandra hisolo orañe, naho afo nilebaleba an-tane’ iareo.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
33 Finofo’e o vahe’eo naho o sakoa’eo, vaho tsineratsera’e o hatae an-tane’iareoo.
The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
34 Nisaontsie’e, le nimb’eo o betratrao, naho ty kijeja tsy fotofoto;
He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
35 hene navorembore’ iereo ze naindoñe an-tane’ iareo ao, fonga nabotseke ty vokan-tane’ iareo.
The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
36 Nampivetrahe’e iaby ka o tañoloñoloñan-tane’ iareoo, ze hene lengom-boan- kaozara’iareo.
[Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
37 Le nakare’e reketse volafoty naho volamena t’Israele, leo raike tsy nitsikapy amo rofoko’eo.
Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
38 Nifale t’i Mitsraime t’ie niakatse, fa nivotraha’ ty fihembañañe.
[The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
39 Nandafiha’e rahoñe ho fialofañe, naho afo ho fañazavàn-kaleñe.
[Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
40 Nihalaly iereo le nanjotsoa’e hatrakatrake, nampieneña’e mahakaman-dikerañe.
[Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
41 Sinoka’e i lamilamiy, le nidoandoañe ty rano nikararake an-dratraratra ao hoe saka.
[One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
42 Fa nitiahi’e i tsara’e masiñe amy Avrahame mpitoro’ey.
[He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
43 Le naaka’e am-pirebehañe ondati’eo, am-pazake o jinobo’eo;
So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
44 natolo’e ty tane’ o kilakila ondatio, vaho rinambe’ iareo ho lova o nimokora’ ondatioo:
He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
45 soa t’ie hañambeñe o fañè’eo vaho hañorike i Tsara’ey. Treño t’Ià!
[Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
