Salamo 125

1 Sabo-Pionjonañe Hambañe amy Vohi-Tsiôney o mpiato am’ Iehovào, tsy hasiotse, fa himoneñe nainai’e.

Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.

2 Manahake ty figoloboña’ o vohitseo t’Ierosalaime, ty añohoña’ Iehovà ondati’eo, henane zao vaho nainai’e.

Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.

3 Tsy hidok’ ambone’ ty tane’ o vantañeo ty kobain-karatiañe, tsy mone hañiti-fitañe ami’ty raty o vañoñeo.

Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.

4 Hasoao, ry Iehovà, ondaty soao naho o vantañ’ arofoo.

Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].

5 Fe ty amo mitsile mb’an-dalañe mikelokelokeo, le ho kozozote’ Iehovà añe mindre amo mpanao ratio. Fañanintsiñe am’ Israele.

But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
