Salamo 121

1 Andrandrako mb’amo vohitseo o masokoo, aia ty hiboaha’ ty fañimbañ’ ahiko?

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

2 Hirik’am’ Iehovà o fañolorañ’ ahikoo, I namboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toiy.

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Tsy henga’e hasitse o fandia’oo, tsy hirotse i Mpañaro azoy;

He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

4 Eka, tsy hidròdreke, tsy hirotse ty Mpitamiri’ Israele.

In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

5 Iehovà ro Mpañambeñ’ azo, Iehovà ro fialofa’ ty fitàn-kavana’o;

The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

6 Tsy hipisañe ama’o i tariñandrokey, ndra i volañey te haleñe.

The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

7 Hañaro azo amy ze fonga haratiañe t’Iehovà; vaho ho tamirie’e ty fiai’o.

The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

8 Harova’ Iehovà ty fiengà’o naho ty fiziliha’o henane zao vaho nainai’e donia.

The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.
