Salamo 48
1 Jabahinake t’Iehovà, vaho rengeñe mb’añ’abo; an-drovan’ Añaharen-tikañe, i vohi’e miavakey.
“A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
2 Fanjàka an-toe’e eo, ty hafalea’ ty tane toy, ty vohi’ i Tsiône añ’ila’e avaratse ey, ty rova’ i Mpanjaka hinakinakey.
Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
3 I Andrianañahare an-kijoli’ey, ty nampandrèndreke t’ie ro fipalirañe.
In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
4 Hehe, nifanontoñe o mpanjakao, nitrao-pionjoñe mb’etoañe,
For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
5 Nioni’ iereo; le nilatsa; nangetraketrake, vaho nitriban-day.
As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
6 Namihiñe iareo ty fihondrahondra, ninivonivotse hoe ampela mitsongo.
There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
7 I tiok’ atiñanañey ty ampivaletrahe’o o lakam-bein-Tarsiseo.
As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
8 Hambañe amy jinanjin-tikañey ty nionin-tika an-drova’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, an-drovan’ Añaharentikañe ao; ee t’ie hajadon’ Añahare tsy ho modo nainai’ey. Selà
As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
9 Nitsakorea’ay ty fiferenaiña’o ry Andrianañahare añivo’ i anjomba’o miavakey.
We think of thy loving-kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
10 Manahake i tahina’oy ry Andrianañahare, ty fandrengeañe Azo, pak’ añ’olo’ ty tane toy; lifo-kavantañañe ty fità’o havana.
As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Ampifaleo i vohitse Tsiôney, ampirebeho o anak’ ampela’ Iehodào ty amo fizakà’oo.
Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
12 Mañariaria amy Tsiône, ikariokarioho, volilio o fitilik-abo’eo,
Go round about Zion; number her towers;
13 Hehe o kijoli’eo, rangao o fitalakesañ’abo’eo; hahatalilia’o i tariratse mandimbey.
Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
14 Izay t’i Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharen-tikañey, nainai’e donia. Ie ty hiaolo antikañe pak’an-kavilasy.
For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
