Salamo 68
1 Hiongake t’i Andrianañahare, le hiparaitake o rafelahi’eo; vaho hibioñe aolo’e eo o malaiñe Azeo.
For the leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. God arises, his enemies scatter: they who hate him flee before him.
2 Hambañe ami’ty fampisaohañe hatoeñe, isaoho añe ka; manahake ty fitranaha’ o karafo tantele aolo’ afoo, ty hikoromaha’ o tsivokatseo añatrefan’Añahare.
As smoke before wind is driven, as wax melts before fire, so before God vanish the wicked.
3 Ho ehake o vañoñeo, hirebeke añ’atrefan’Añahare eo, hiriñariña an-kobaiñe.
But the righteous rejoice in God’s presence, they exult with exceeding joy.
4 Misaboa aman’ Añahare, bangò i tahina’ey; onjono i Mpiningitse miranga i montombeiy, Ià ty tahina’e; vaho mitreñà añatrefa’e eo.
Sing to God, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
5 Raem-bode-rae naho mpañomey to amo vantotseo t’i Andrianañahare an-kivoho’e miavake ao.
Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
6 Ampimoneñan’ Añahare añ’akiba ao ty jorý; akare’e mb’an-kavokarañe o rinohio; fe mitobok’ an-tane kirikintàñe ao o mpitrabikeo.
God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
7 O Andrianañahare, ie niaoloa’o ondati’oo, ie nihofiha’o firanga i fatram-beiy, Selà
God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, (Selah)
8 niezeñezeñe i taney, nihotrake i likerañey aolo’ i Andrianamboatse, Nihondrahondra ty Sinay añatrefa’ i Abo Tia, Andrianañahare’ Israele eo.
earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai’s God at the presence of God, Israel’s God.
9 Nanondraha’o oran-joba, ry Andrianañahare; niventè’o i lova’o navozoy,
Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
10 Nitobok’ ao i mpirai-lia’oy, nifahana’o ami’ty havokara’o o rarakeo, ry Andrianamboatse.
A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
11 Nitaroñe t’i Talè; mitozantoza o rakemba mitalily i entañeio.
The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:
12 Nitriban-day mb’eo o mpanjakan- dahindefoñeo! Nivoratsake; le ho zarae’ i tambatse an-kiboho’e ao o kinopakeo,
‘Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
13 ie mandre am-bàlan’añondry ao, le manahake ty elan-deho misarom-bola-foty; mimilemiletse volamena o volo’eo.
dove’s wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,
14 Ie nampivarakai’ i El-Sadai i mpanjaka rey, le niavy an-Tsalmone ty oram-panala.
set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.’
15 Vohin’ Añahare ty vohy Basane; vohitse lako-lengo’e ty haboa’ i Basane;
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16 Inoñe ty ikiraña’ areo ry haboañe maro-lengo’eo, i vohitse nirien’Añahare himoneña’ey? Eka himoneñe ao nainai’e t’Iehovà.
You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?
17 Añ’ale’ale o sareten’ Añahareo, arivo-añ’arivo’e; ama’e ao an-kamasiña’e t’i Talè manahake e Sinay añe.
The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.
18 Nionjoñe añ’abo eñe irehe, nikozozote’o an-drohy o fandrohizañeo, nandrambe ravoravo am’ondatio, vaho amo mpiolao, himoneña’ Ià, Andrianañahare.
You did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.
19 Andriañeñe t’i Talè mpivave o kilankan-tikañeo boak’andro, i Andrianañaharem- pandrombahantikañey. Selà
Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our saviour. (Selah)
20 Andrianañaharem-pañaha an-tika t’i Andrianamboatse; Toe a Iehovà Talè ty famotsorañe an-kavilasy.
Our God is a God who is saviour. The ways of escape from death are known to the Lord God.
21 Le hanorotoro ty loha’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Andrianañahare, ty kovo-doha minankanankañe amo hakeo’eo.
Yes, God will shatter the head of his foes the rough scalp of those who strut on in their sins.
22 Hoe t’i Talè: Hampoliko o e Basaneo, hahereko boak’ an-keraheran-driak’ ao,
The Lord said: ‘I will bring you home from Bashan, home from the depths of the sea,
23 Ho demohem-pandia’o an-dio o rafelahi’oo, hanañ’anjara an-dion-drafilahy ka o lelan’ amboa’oo.
that your feet you may bathe in blood, and your dogs lick their share of the foe.’
24 Fa niisa’ iareo o fañaveloa’oo ry Andrianañahare, ty fionjonan’ Añahareko, toe i Mpanjakakoy, mb’amy miavakey ao.
In the temple appear God’s triumphal processions, processions in praise of my king and my God,
25 Miaolo o mpisaboo, manonjohy o mpititikeo; añivo’e ao o somondrara mampikantsankantsàñe o kantsàñeo:
with singers in front, and minstrels behind, and maidens with timbrels between them, singing,
26 Andriaño am-pivory ao t’i Andrianañahare, i Iehovà boak’am-pigoangoaña’ Israele.
‘You of the well-spring of Israel, bless the Lord God in the dance.’
27 Ingo t’i Beniamine tsitso’e, miaolo iareo, o roandria’ Iehodào am-pirimboña’eo, o roandria’ i Zeboloneo, o roandria’ i Naftalio.
There, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
28 Fa linilin’ Añahare’o ty haozara’o; mihaozara! Ry Andrianañahare, nañenefa’o ho anay izay,
God, show your strength, your godlike might, as you did in the past,
29 ty kiboho’o e Ierosalaime añe, ty ibanabanà’ o mpanjakao ama’oy.
from your temple that crowns Jerusalem. Kings shall bring tribute to you.
30 Endaho o biby hako am-bindao, o añombelahy maroo rekets’ o dronga’ ondatioo, songa mandialia tseram-bolafoty; navarakai’e ondaty tea alio.
Rebuke the beast of the reed, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Trample down the lovers of lies. Scatter the nations whose joy is in war.
31 Hiavotse e Mitsraime ao o sorotà’eo, halisa hañity fitàñe aman’Añahare t’i Kose.
May they come from Egypt with gifts of oil, Ethiopia haste with full hands to God.
32 Misaboa aman’Andrianañahare, ry fifehea’ ty tane toio; rengeo an-tsabo t’i Talè; Selà
Sing to God, O you kingdoms of earth, make melody to the Lord. (Selah)
33 I miningitse andindì’ o likerañe haehaeo, Inay, ampionjone’e i fiarañanaña’ey, i fiarañanañañe ra’elahiy.
Praise him who rides on the ancient heavens. See! He utters his voice, his mighty voice.
34 Iantofo te an’Andrianañahare ty haozarañe ambone’ Israele eo ty ahe’e an-dikerañe ao ty hafatrara’e.
Ascribe strength to the God over Israel, whose strength and majesty live in the skies.
35 Mampañeven-drehe, ry Andrianañahare, an-toe’o miavake ao; I Andrianañahare’ Israele, ro mpanolotse haozarañe naho hafatrarañe am’ondati’eo. Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare!
Awe-inspiring is God in his holy place, it is Israel’s God who gives strength and might to his people. Blessed be God.
