Salamo 78
1 Tsendreño o fañòhakoo ry ondatiko, atokilaño mb’am-pivolañam-bavako o ravembia’ areoo.
Hear my teaching, my people. Turn 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 in a parable. I will explain mysteries from days of old,
3 o jinanjin-tika naho fohin-tikañe vaho natalilin-droae aman-tikañeo.
Which we have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 them from their children, telling to the generation to come the tehilahot ·praise songs· of Adonai, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has 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 [Supplanter], and appointed a teaching in Israel [God prevails], which he enjoined 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, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell 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 set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his mitzvot ·instructions·,
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 didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 Nimpitam-pale ninday fale o ana’ i Efraimeo f’ie niamboho tañ’ andro’ i hotakotakey.
The children of Ephraim [Fruit], being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10 Tsy nambena’ iareo i fañinan’ Añaharey, vaho nifoneñe tsy hañavelo amy Tsara’ey.
They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his torot ·teachings·.
11 Nihaliño’ iareo o fitoloña’eo— o halatsàñe naboa’e am’ iareoo,
They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
12 o raha tsitantane nanoe’e añatrefan- droae’ iareo e Mitsraimeo, an-tete’ i Tsòañe ao.
He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], in the field of Zoan.
13 Finatsi’e i riakey naho nampisorohe’e mb’eo iereo! najoha’e hoe votry i ranoy.
He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
14 Le niaoloa’e an-drahoñe iereo te antoandro, naho an-kazavàñ’afo te haleñe am-para’ te niporea.
In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
15 Finoi’e o vato am-patrañeo, finaha’e rano bey manahake i an-dalekey;
He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
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 they still went on to sin ·deviate (from the standard goal)· still more against him, to rebel against haElyon [the Most High] in the desert.
18 Nitsohe’ iereo an-troke t’i Andrianañahare, nihalaly mahakama ty amy hadrao’iareo.
They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
19 Toe, nandrabio’ iareo t’i Andrianañahare, ami’ty hoe: Mahafañalankañe fandambañañe an-dratraratra ao hao t’i Andrianañahare,
Yes, 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 struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat 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 Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob [Supplanter], anger also went up against Israel [God prevails],
22 Amy t’ie tsy natoky an’Andrianañahare, vaho tsy niatoa’ iareo ty fandrombaha’e;
because they didn’t trust in God, and didn’t trust in his yishu'ah ·salvation·.
23 Fe linili’e o rahoñe amboneo, naho sinoka’e o lalambein-dindìñeo,
Yet he enjoined the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
24 nampikojojoaha’e mane ho kamae’iereo; nanjotsoa’e ampemban-dikerañe.
He rained down manna ·what is it· on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
25 Nikama ty mofom-panalolahy ondatio! nampidobaña’e mahakama nahaeneñe!
Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food 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 blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
27 Nampidoañe’e am’ iareo ty hena hoe lemboke, voroñe amañ’elatse mira amo fasen-driakeo!
He rained also meat on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.
28 nampivotrahe’e aivo’ ty tobe’e ao, niarikoboñe i Toem-pimoneña’ey.
He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.
29 Aa le nikama iareo vaho nianjañe amy te nanjotsoa’e ty hasiji’ iareo.
So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
30 Ie mboe nibòro ty drao’ iareo, mbe tam-palie’ iareo ao i henay,
They didn’t turn from their cravings. 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, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel [God prevails].
32 Ie amy zay iaby, mbe nitolon-kakeo iereo, tsy niantoke o fitoloña’e fanjakao.
For all this they still sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, and didn’t trust in his wondrous works.
33 Aa le nampigadoña’e an-kamodoañe ty andro’ iareo, naho an-kebahebake ty tao’ iareo.
Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
34 Ie zinevo’e iereo, naho nipay aze, nisoloho vaho nitsoeke an’Andrianañahare,
When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They made teshuvah ·complete return· and sought God earnestly.
35 le nahatiahy te lamilami’ iareo t’i Andrianamboatse, naho t’ie Mpijeba’ iareo i Andrianañaharen-dindimoneñey.
They remembered that God was their rock, haElyon [the Most High] God, their redeemer.
36 Fe kinabea’ iareo am-palie; vaho nandañitse am-pameleke.
But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
37 Toe tsy nifahatse ama’e o arofo’ iareoo, naho tsy nigahiñe amy fañìna’ey.
For their heart was not right 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 merciful, forgave depravity (moral evil), and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.
39 Nitiahi’e te nofotse avao iareo, tioke mihelañe naho tsy mibalike.
He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and does not come again.
40 Impire hao ty niodia’ iareo am-patrambey añe, vaho nampioje’Aze an-dratraratra añe?
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
41 Eka, niamboho naho nitsok’ an’Andrianañahare iereo, vaho nanigike i Masi’ Israeley
They turned again and tempted God, and provoked haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails].
42 Tsy nitiahi’ iereo ty fità’e, i andro nijebaña’e iareo amy rafelahiy,
They didn’t remember 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 [Abode of slavery], his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44 Nafote’e ho lio o saka’ iareoo, vaho tsy nimete kamaeñe o toraha’ iareoo.
he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
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 to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
47 Rinotsa’e ami’ty havandra ty vahe’ iareo, naho an-drano-panala o sakoa’ iareoo.
He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
48 Nengae’e amy havandray o añombe’ iareoo, vaho an-kelatse nibelabela o mpirai-tro’ iareoo.
He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49 Nahitri’e am’iereo ty fiforoforoa’e; fifomboañe naho haviñerañe vaho hankàñe; firimboñan’ anjely mpandrotsake.
He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels 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 made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare 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 struck all the firstborn in Egypt [Abode of slavery], the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham [Hot, Intensity, Passion].
52 Nonjone’e hoe añondry ondati’eo; vaho niaoloa’e mb’am-babangoañe añe hoe lia-raike.
But he led out his own people 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.
He led them safely, so that they were not afraid, 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.
He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
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 also divorced and drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel [God prevails] to dwell in their tents.
56 F’ie nangala-pañahy naho niola aman’Añahare Andindimoneñe, vaho tsy nambena’ iereo o taro’eo;
Yet they tempted and rebelled against haElyon [the Most High] God, and didn’t keep 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 to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
59 Nahajanjiñe t’i Andrianañahare le nifombo vaho niheje’e vintañe t’Israele.
When God sh'ma ·heard obeyed· this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel [God prevails];
60 Le naforintse’e ty kivoho’e e Silo ao, i akiba nanoe’e himoneña’e añivo’ondatioy.
So that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed 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, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
62 Natolo’e ami’ty fibara ka ondati’eo, naha-fiforoforo Aze i lova’ey.
He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
63 Nabotse’ ty afo o ajalahi’eo; naho tsy nanan-tsabo haonjoñe o somondrara’eo.
Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
64 Nampikorovohem-pibara o mpisoro’ iareoo, naho tsy nahafandala o remavoi’ iareoo.
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.
65 Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Talè hoe nirotse, manahake ty fanalolahy niopoen-divay.
Then 'Adonay [Lord] awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
66 Nampipolie’e an-dafa o rafelahi’eo, le nametsaha’e hasalarañe tsy modo kitro katroke.
He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 Mbore nifarie’e ty kivoho’ Iosefe; le tsy jinobo’e ty tarira’ i Efraime.
Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph [May he add], and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim [Fruit],
68 Fe ginene’e ty fifokoa’ Iehodà, i vohy Tsiône nikokoa’ey.
But chose the tribe of Judah [Praised], Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] which he 'ahav ·affectionately loved·.
69 Rinanji’e hoe o haboañeo i toe’e miavakey, manahake ty tane naore’e ho nainai’e tsy ho modo toy.
He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
70 Jinobo’e ka t’i Davide mpitoro’e, rinambe’e amo golobon’añondrio.
He also chose David [Beloved] 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 have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob [Supplanter], his people, and Israel [God prevails], his inheritance.
72 Nifahana’e añ’ arofo-vañonañe le niaoloa’e am-pitàñe mahimbañe.
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
