Salamo 97

1 Mifehe t’Iehovà, hirebeke ty tane toy, hifale o tokonose maroo.

The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

2 Ie arikoboñen-drahoñe naho hamoromoroñañe; havantañañe naho ty hatò ro ioreña’ i fiambesa’ey.

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3 Miaolo Aze ty afo, mamorototo o rafelahi’eo mb’etia mb’eroa.

A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

4 Nihazavae’ o hela’eo ty voatse toy; niisa’ ty tane toy le nihondrahondra.

His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

5 Nitranake hoe karafo o vohitseo ami’ty niatrefa’ Iehovà, añatrefa’ i Talè’ ty tane toy iaby.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 Mitalily ty havantaña’e o likerañeo, vaho fonga mahaoniñe ty enge’e ondatio.

The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Hene salatse ze mitoron-tsare sokitse, o misenge raha kòakeo; miambanea ama’e ry ndrahare iabio!

Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

8 Nahajanjiñe ty Tsiône le niehake, nirebeke o anak’ampela Iehodào, ty amo fizaka’oo ry Iehovà.

Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgements, LORD.

9 Amy te Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro Andindimone’ ty tane toy; vaho onjoneñe andigiligi’ ze hene ndrahare irehe.

For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

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 preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Ararake ho a’ o vantañeo ty hazavàñe, ho a’ o mahity arofoo ty hafaleañe.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Mirebeha am’ Iehovà, ry vantañeo, vaho andriaño i tahina’e masiñey.

Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
