Salamo 97
1 Mifehe t’Iehovà, hirebeke ty tane toy, hifale o tokonose maroo.
The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
2 Ie arikoboñen-drahoñe naho hamoromoroñañe; havantañañe naho ty hatò ro ioreña’ i fiambesa’ey.
He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
3 Miaolo Aze ty afo, mamorototo o rafelahi’eo mb’etia mb’eroa.
Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
4 Nihazavae’ o hela’eo ty voatse toy; niisa’ ty tane toy le nihondrahondra.
His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
5 Nitranake hoe karafo o vohitseo ami’ty niatrefa’ Iehovà, añatrefa’ i Talè’ ty tane toy iaby.
The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Mitalily ty havantaña’e o likerañeo, vaho fonga mahaoniñe ty enge’e ondatio.
The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
7 Hene salatse ze mitoron-tsare sokitse, o misenge raha kòakeo; miambanea ama’e ry ndrahare iabio!
All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
8 Nahajanjiñe ty Tsiône le niehake, nirebeke o anak’ampela Iehodào, ty amo fizaka’oo ry Iehovà.
Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
9 Amy te Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro Andindimone’ ty tane toy; vaho onjoneñe andigiligi’ ze hene ndrahare irehe.
For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
10 Hejeo o haratiañeo ry mpikoko Iehovà; ambena’e ty fiai’ o noro’eo, avotso’e an-taña’ o lo-tserekeo.
You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
11 Ararake ho a’ o vantañeo ty hazavàñe, ho a’ o mahity arofoo ty hafaleañe.
Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
12 Mirebeha am’ Iehovà, ry vantañeo, vaho andriaño i tahina’e masiñey.
Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
