Salamo 66
1 Mipoñafa rebek’ aman’ Andrianañahare, ry hene tane toy!
[Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
2 Isabò ty volonahe’ i Tahina’ey, toloro engeñe mitoabotse.
They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
3 Anò ty hoe aman’ Añahare: Ra’elahy o tolon-draha’oo! Ami’ty hajabahinan-kaozara’o ty hitsolofìña’ o rafelahi’oo aolo’o eo.
They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
4 Hene hitalaho ama’o ty tane toy, naho hisabo fandrengeañe ama’o; ho bangoe’ iereo ty tahina’o. Selà
Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
5 Antao hañisake o fitoloñan’Añahareo: mampañeveñe o ana’ondatio o sata’eo.
Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
6 Nabali’e ho tane kànkañe i riakey, nitsaham-pandia’ iareo i oñey; añe ty nirebehan-tika.
He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
7 Manjaka an-kaozara’e nainai’e re, jilovem-pihaino’e o fifeheañeo, we te tsy hiroharoha’ o mpiolao. Selà
By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
8 Andriaño t’i Andrianañaharen-tika ry ondatio, ipoñafo feom-pandrengeañe;
You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
9 Ie mitañe an-tika veloñe, naho tsy apo’e hasitse o fandian-tikañeo.
He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
10 Fa namente anay irehe, ry Andrianañahare, fa natrana’o hoe fitranaham-bolafoty.
God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
11 Nasese’o an-karato ao, vaho nampibabe’o faloviloviañe o hàto’aio.
[It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
12 Nampiningire’o ambone’ ty añambone’ay t’indaty, zahay nisibek’ afo naho rano, fe naaka’o ho an-kavokarañe.
You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
13 Himoak’ añ’anjomba’o ao raho hinday engan-koroañe; hañenefako o nifantàkoo,
[Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
14 ze vinolan-tsoñiko vaho rineham-bavako t’ie niankoheke.
When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
15 Hengaeko kobatroke horañe, an-katòen’ añondri-lahy, hisoroñe bania naho oselahy. Selà
I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
16 Mb’etoa hijanjiñe ry mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare iabio, le ho talilieko o nanoe’e an-kavelokoo.
All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
17 Nitoreo am-bavako, le nampionjoneko an-delako.
I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
18 Ie mahatrea hakeo an-troko ato, le tsy hijanjiña’ i Talè.
If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
19 Fa toe mijanjiñe ahy t’i Andrianañahare haoñe’e i feon-kalalikoy.
But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
20 Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare, amy te tsy ambohoa’e i filolofakoy, vaho tsy afaha’e amako ty fiferenaiña’e.
I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
