Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
2 Ry mpijohañe añ’anjomba’Iehovà, an-kiririsan’ anjomban’ Añahareo,
You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
3 Rengeo, t’Ià, amy te soa t’Iehovà; sabò i tahina’ey ty amy volonahe’ey.
Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
4 Amy te jinobo’ Ià ho am-bata’e t’Iakobe, ho vara’e t’Israele.
He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
5 Fantako te ra’elahy t’Iehovà, le mandikoatse ze atao ‘ndrahare iaby t’i Talè.
I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
6 Manao ze satri’e t’Iehovà, an-dindiñe añe naho an-tane atoy, amy riakey vaho an-tsikeokeoke ao.
Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
7 Ampionjone’e hirik’ añ’olon-tane añe ty mika; anoa’e helatse o orañeo vaho akare’e boak’an-driha’e ao ty tioke.
He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
8 Zinama’e o tañoloñoloña’ i Mitsraimeo, ndra ondaty ndra biby.
He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
9 Nañiraha’e viloñe naho halatsàñe mb’añivo’areo ao, ihe ‘nio, ry Mitsraime, amy Parò vaho amo mpitoro’e iabio.
There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
10 Narotsa’e ty fifeheañe maro, binaibai’e o mpanjaka fanalolahio,
He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
11 i Sikone, mpanjaka’ o nte Emoreo, naho i Oge, mpanjaka’ i Basane, vaho o fonga fifeleha’ i Kanàneo;
Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
12 Le natolo’e ho lova ty tane’ iareo, ho lova’ Israele, ondati’eo.
Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
13 Ry Iehovà, tsy modo ty tahina’o, ty fitiahiañ’ azo ry Iehovà, le nainai’e donia.
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
14 Fa homei’ Iehovà to ondati’eo le ho tretreze’e o mpitoro’eo.
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
15 Volafoty naho volamena o raham-pahasive’ o kilakila ‘ndatioo, ty sata-pità’ ondaty.
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
16 Ie manam-bava, fe tsy mirehake, ama-maso, fe tsy mahatrea;
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
17 aman-tsofy, fe tsy mahatsanoñe, vaho tsy mahakofòke o vava’iareoo.
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
18 Ho hambañe am’iereo o mpanao iareoo, Eka, ze hene miato am’iereo.
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
19 Ry anjomba’ Israele, Andriaño t’Iehovà; ry akiba’ i Aharone, andriaño t’Iehovà;
[My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20 ry kivoho’ i Levio, andriaño t’Iehovà; ry mpañeveñe am’Iehovà, andriaño t’Iehovà.
You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
21 Andriaño boak’e Tsiône ao t’Iehovà, ry mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo. Treño t’Ià.
Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
