Salamo 84
1 Honh! hamotsontane ty kivoho’o ry Iehovà’ i Màroy!
Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
2 Misalala ty foko, eka tsìpike ty sihisihy ty amo kiririsa’ Iehovào. Mirebek’ aman’ Añahare veloñe ty troko naho ty sandriko.
I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
3 Hehe, nahatrea traño ty jorioke, naho hàlañe ho aze i tintiñey, hañopake o ana’eo amo kitreli’oo ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, Mpanjakako naho Andrianañahareko!
Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
4 Haha o mimoneñe añ’anjomba’o ao, mandrenge Azo nainai’eo. Selà
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 Haha t’indaty naho ihe ro haozara’e, añ’arofo’iareo o lalam-pamantañañeo.
Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
6 Ie miranga am-bavatanem- pirovetañe ao, le ampanjarie’e tane manganahana, vaho saroña’ i oran-jobay fañanintsiñe!
While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
7 Mañavelo an-kaozarañe orihen-kafatrarañe iareo, songa miatrek’ an’Andrianañahare e Tsiône ao.
[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
8 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy, janjiño ty halaliko; toloro ravembia, ry Andrianañahare’ Iakobe. Selà
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
9 Vazohò ry Andrianamboatse Mpikalan-defo’aiy, isaho ty lahara’ i noriza’oy.
God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
10 Soa te ami’ty andro arivo, ty andro raik’ an-kiririsa’o ao; hamake te mpañamben-dalam- bein’ anjomban’Añahareko iraho, ta te himoneñe an-kiboho’ o lo-tserekeo.
[For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
11 Masoandro vaho fikalañe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare, Mpanolotse falalàñe naho engeñe t’Iehovà: tsy eo ty raha soa ho tana’e amo mañavelo an-kavantañañeo.
Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
12 O ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, haha t’indaty miato ama’o.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
