Salamo 97

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

Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

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

Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

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

Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

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

Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

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

Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

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

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

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

Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

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

Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

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

For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

10 Hejeo o haratiañeo ry mpikoko Iehovà; ambena’e ty fiai’ o noro’eo, avotso’e an-taña’ o lo-tserekeo.

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

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

Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.

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

Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
