Salamo 2

1 Ino ty fidabasida’ o kilakila ondatio, naho ty fikililia’ ondatio raha tsy vente’e.

Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,

2 Mijohañe o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, naho mitrao-kinia o mpifeheo hiatreatre am’ Iehovà naho i Noriza’ey, manao ty hoe:

with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,

3 Antao handrafadrafatse o talirandra’ iareoo, le hahimpan-tika o rohi’ iareoo.

to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

4 Miankahake i mpiambesatse an-dindiñey; mitsikìke iareo t’i Talè.

He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.

5 Fa ho trevohe’e an-keloke, vaho hampinevenevere’e am-pifombo’e:

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.

6 Toe izaho ty nañoriñe ty Mpanjakako e Tsiône ao amy vohiko miavakey.

‘This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.’

7 Sokireko ho lily: hoe t’Iehovà amako: Anako irehe, anindroany ty nampiareñako azo.

I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: ‘You are my son, this day I became your father.

8 Mihalalia amako le hampandovaeko Azo o fifeheañeo, naho ho fanaña’o o olon-taneo.

Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.

9 Ho pozahe’o am-bodam-by; Hampijeñajeñahe’e hoe siniharam-panao valàñe-tane.

You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.’

10 Aa le mahihira ry mpanjakao; Mimetea oke ry mpizaka’ ty tane toio.

So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.

11 Toroño am-pañeveñañe t’Iehovà, vaho mirebeha am-pineveneverañe;

Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,

12 Ondroho i Anakey tsy mone hiviñera’e, vaho hihomak’ an-dalañe ey nahareo; fa mete hisolebatse aniany ty fifombo’e. Hene haha ze mitsolok’ ama’e.

lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
