Salamo 78
1 Tsendreño o fañòhakoo ry ondatiko, atokilaño mb’am-pivolañam-bavako o ravembia’ areoo.
Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 Ho sokafeko ty vavako handrazaña’e: ho lañoneko razan-tsaontsy miheotse boak’an-kaehae’e;
I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter dark sayings concerning days of old;
3 o jinanjin-tika naho fohin-tikañe vaho natalilin-droae aman-tikañeo.
That which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us,
4 Aa le tsy haetantika amo ana’ iareoo, fa hatalilin-tika amo tariratse ho avio ty fandrengeañe Iehovà, naho ty haozara’e vaho o fitoloña’e ra’elahy nifonire’eo.
We will not hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done.
5 Fa noriza’e e Iakobe ao ty taroñe naho najado’e e Israele ao t’i Hake linili’e aman-droaen-tikañey, hañanara’ iareo o ana’ iareo,
For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
6 hampahafohina’ iareo ty tariratse ho avy, naho o ajaja mbe hasamakeo, hitroara’ iareo hañoke o ana’eo,
That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; who should arise and tell them to their children,
7 soa te ho aman’Añahare ty fatokisa’e, vaho tsy handikofa’ iareo o fitoloñan’ Añahareo, fe hambena’ iereo o lili’eo;
That they might put their confidence in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments;
8 naho tsy hitsikombe o roae’ iareoo; tariratse mitangingìñe naho miola, tariratse tsy nampifahatse troke, tsy nigahiñe aman’ Añahare ty arofo’e.
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9 Nimpitam-pale ninday fale o ana’ i Efraimeo f’ie niamboho tañ’ andro’ i hotakotakey.
The children of Ephraim were as archers handling the bow, that turned back in the day of battle.
10 Tsy nambena’ iareo i fañinan’ Añaharey, vaho nifoneñe tsy hañavelo amy Tsara’ey.
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in His law;
11 Nihaliño’ iareo o fitoloña’eo— o halatsàñe naboa’e am’ iareoo,
And they forgot His doings, and His wondrous works that He had shown them.
12 o raha tsitantane nanoe’e añatrefan- droae’ iareo e Mitsraimeo, an-tete’ i Tsòañe ao.
Marvellous things did He in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 Finatsi’e i riakey naho nampisorohe’e mb’eo iereo! najoha’e hoe votry i ranoy.
He cleaved the sea, and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters to stand as a heap.
14 Le niaoloa’e an-drahoñe iereo te antoandro, naho an-kazavàñ’afo te haleñe am-para’ te niporea.
By day also He led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 Finoi’e o vato am-patrañeo, finaha’e rano bey manahake i an-dalekey;
He cleaved rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the great deep.
16 Nampitotsaha’e torahañe ty lamilamy vaho nampikararaha’e rano hoe oñe.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 Fe mbe nandilara’ iareo, niola amy Abo Tiañey am-babangoañ’ añe.
Yet went they on still to sin against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 Nitsohe’ iereo an-troke t’i Andrianañahare, nihalaly mahakama ty amy hadrao’iareo.
And they tried God in their heart by asking food for their craving.
19 Toe, nandrabio’ iareo t’i Andrianañahare, ami’ty hoe: Mahafañalankañe fandambañañe an-dratraratra ao hao t’i Andrianañahare,
Yea, they spoke against God; they said: 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 Eka, finofo’e i vato nampidoandoan-dranoy, vaho nampanganahanae’e o torahañeo. Aa vaho hahafanjotsoa’e mofo ka? he ho fahana’e hena hao ondati’eo?
Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can He give bread also? or will He provide flesh for His people?'
21 Aa ie jinaji’ Iehovà, le niforoforo ty fifombo’e, naho namiañañe afo t’Iakobe, vaho nionjoñe am’ Israele ty haviñerañe,
Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth; and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;
22 Amy t’ie tsy natoky an’Andrianañahare, vaho tsy niatoa’ iareo ty fandrombaha’e;
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.
23 Fe linili’e o rahoñe amboneo, naho sinoka’e o lalambein-dindìñeo,
And He commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;
24 nampikojojoaha’e mane ho kamae’iereo; nanjotsoa’e ampemban-dikerañe.
And He caused manna to rain upon them for food, and gave them of the corn of heaven.
25 Nikama ty mofom-panalolahy ondatio! nampidobaña’e mahakama nahaeneñe!
Man did eat the bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions to the full.
26 Nampikofaohe’e an-dikerañe ey ty tiok’ atiñanañe vaho nitehafe’e an-kaozarañe i tiok’ atimoy.
He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven; and by His power He brought on the south wind.
27 Nampidoañe’e am’ iareo ty hena hoe lemboke, voroñe amañ’elatse mira amo fasen-driakeo!
He caused flesh also to rain upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas;
28 nampivotrahe’e aivo’ ty tobe’e ao, niarikoboñe i Toem-pimoneña’ey.
And He let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their dwellings.
29 Aa le nikama iareo vaho nianjañe amy te nanjotsoa’e ty hasiji’ iareo.
So they did eat, and were well filled; and He gave them that which they craved.
30 Ie mboe nibòro ty drao’ iareo, mbe tam-palie’ iareo ao i henay,
They were not estranged from their craving, their food was yet in their mouths,
31 le nihelofe’ ty haviñeran’ Añahare navetra’e o nanjofak’ am’iereoo, vaho nampihotrahe’e o jinoboñ’ Israeleo.
When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them, and smote down the young men of Israel.
32 Ie amy zay iaby, mbe nitolon-kakeo iereo, tsy niantoke o fitoloña’e fanjakao.
For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His wondrous works.
33 Aa le nampigadoña’e an-kamodoañe ty andro’ iareo, naho an-kebahebake ty tao’ iareo.
Therefore He ended their days as a breath, and their years in terror.
34 Ie zinevo’e iereo, naho nipay aze, nisoloho vaho nitsoeke an’Andrianañahare,
When He slew them, then they would inquire after Him, and turn back and seek God earnestly.
35 le nahatiahy te lamilami’ iareo t’i Andrianamboatse, naho t’ie Mpijeba’ iareo i Andrianañaharen-dindimoneñey.
And they remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.
36 Fe kinabea’ iareo am-palie; vaho nandañitse am-pameleke.
But they beguiled Him with their mouth, and lied unto Him with their tongue.
37 Toe tsy nifahatse ama’e o arofo’ iareoo, naho tsy nigahiñe amy fañìna’ey.
For their heart was not stedfast with Him, neither were they faithful in His covenant.
38 Fe amy fitretreza’ey, le hinaha’e o hakeo’ iareoo, naho tsy rinotsa’e; beteke natoli’e ty haviñera’e, vaho tsy fonga nitroboa’e o fifombo’eo!
But He, being full of compassion, forgiveth iniquity, and destroyeth not; yea, many a time doth He turn His anger away, and doth not stir up all His wrath.
39 Nitiahi’e te nofotse avao iareo, tioke mihelañe naho tsy mibalike.
So He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40 Impire hao ty niodia’ iareo am-patrambey añe, vaho nampioje’Aze an-dratraratra añe?
How oft did they rebel against Him in the wilderness, and grieve Him in the desert!
41 Eka, niamboho naho nitsok’ an’Andrianañahare iereo, vaho nanigike i Masi’ Israeley
And still again they tried God, and set bounds to the Holy One of Israel.
42 Tsy nitiahi’ iereo ty fità’e, i andro nijebaña’e iareo amy rafelahiy,
They remembered not His hand, nor the day when He redeemed them from the adversary.
43 Ie nampipoha’e e Mitsraime añe o vilo’eo naho an-tete’ i Tsòañe ao o halatsà’eo.
How He set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan;
44 Nafote’e ho lio o saka’ iareoo, vaho tsy nimete kamaeñe o toraha’ iareoo.
And turned their rivers into blood, so that they could not drink their streams.
45 Nañiraha’e laletse nifamorohotse, namotseke, naho sahoñe nandrotsake.
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 Natolo’e amo oletseo ty havokara’ iareo, amo valalao ty tolim-pitoloña’ iareo.
He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.
47 Rinotsa’e ami’ty havandra ty vahe’ iareo, naho an-drano-panala o sakoa’ iareoo.
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-trees with frost.
48 Nengae’e amy havandray o añombe’ iareoo, vaho an-kelatse nibelabela o mpirai-tro’ iareoo.
He gave over their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to fiery bolts.
49 Nahitri’e am’iereo ty fiforoforoa’e; fifomboañe naho haviñerañe vaho hankàñe; firimboñan’ anjely mpandrotsake.
He sent forth upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, a sending of messengers of evil.
50 Nampimirae’e lalañe i haviñera’ey; tsy navotso’e am-pihomahañe ty fiai’iareo, fa napo’e ho zamanen-kiria ty havelo’ iareo
He levelled a path for His anger; He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51 Binaibai’e ze hene tañoloñoloña’ i Mitsraime, ty lohan-kaozara’iareo an-kiboho’ i Kame ao.
And smote all the first-born in Egypt, the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;
52 Nonjone’e hoe añondry ondati’eo; vaho niaoloa’e mb’am-babangoañe añe hoe lia-raike.
But He made His own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 Nindese’e tsy nolañeñe, le tsy nihembañe iereo, vaho nampiopoe’ i riakey o rafelahio.
And He led them safely, and they feared not; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 Nindese’e mb’an-tane’e miavake mb’eo, sikala’ami’ty vohitse vinilim-pità’e havana toy.
And He brought them to His holy border, to the mountain, which His right hand had gotten.
55 Rinoa’e aolo’ iareo ka o kilakila’ndatio; le zinara’e an-taly ty lova’ iareo, vaho nampitobea’e amo akiba’ iareoo o fifokoa’ Israeleo.
He drove out the nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 F’ie nangala-pañahy naho niola aman’Añahare Andindimoneñe, vaho tsy nambena’ iereo o taro’eo;
Yet they tried and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not His testimonies;
57 Te mone nibalintoa naho nañorike ty tsy fatokisan-droae’ iareo; niolake hoe fale mibatriotse.
But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers; they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58 Ie nikai-jaka ama’e amo tamboho’ iareo; vaho nampamarahy aze amo raham-pahasive’iareoo.
For they provoked Him with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.
59 Nahajanjiñe t’i Andrianañahare le nifombo vaho niheje’e vintañe t’Israele.
God heard, and was wroth, and He greatly abhorred Israel;
60 Le naforintse’e ty kivoho’e e Silo ao, i akiba nanoe’e himoneña’e añivo’ondatioy.
And He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which He had made to dwell among men;
61 Nasese’e mb’ am-pandrohizañe añe ty haozara’e, le am-pità’ o rafelahio ty enge’e.
And delivered His strength into captivity, and His glory into the adversary's hand.
62 Natolo’e ami’ty fibara ka ondati’eo, naha-fiforoforo Aze i lova’ey.
He gave His people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with His inheritance.
63 Nabotse’ ty afo o ajalahi’eo; naho tsy nanan-tsabo haonjoñe o somondrara’eo.
Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins had no marriage-song.
64 Nampikorovohem-pibara o mpisoro’ iareoo, naho tsy nahafandala o remavoi’ iareoo.
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65 Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Talè hoe nirotse, manahake ty fanalolahy niopoen-divay.
Then the Lord awaked as one asleep, like a mighty man recovering from wine.
66 Nampipolie’e an-dafa o rafelahi’eo, le nametsaha’e hasalarañe tsy modo kitro katroke.
And He smote His adversaries backward; He put upon them a perpetual reproach.
67 Mbore nifarie’e ty kivoho’ Iosefe; le tsy jinobo’e ty tarira’ i Efraime.
Moreover He abhorred the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
68 Fe ginene’e ty fifokoa’ Iehodà, i vohy Tsiône nikokoa’ey.
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which He loved.
69 Rinanji’e hoe o haboañeo i toe’e miavakey, manahake ty tane naore’e ho nainai’e tsy ho modo toy.
And He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which He hath founded for ever.
70 Jinobo’e ka t’i Davide mpitoro’e, rinambe’e amo golobon’añondrio.
He chose David also His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 Boak’ am-piarahañe o añondry mampinonoo ty nendesa’e aze hiaraha’e o tiri’ Iakobe ondati’eo, naho Israele lova’ey
From following the ewes that give suck He brought him, to be shepherd over Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.
72 Nifahana’e añ’ arofo-vañonañe le niaoloa’e am-pitàñe mahimbañe.
So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart; and lead them by the skilfulness of his hands.
