Psalms 81

Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-gitith. Nataon'i Asafa. Mihobia ho an'Andriamanitra herintsika; manaova feo fifaliana ho an'Andriamanitr'i Jakoba.

Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin'ny valiha.

Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

Tsofy ny anjomara amin'ny volana; eny, amin'ny feno-volana, dia amin'ny andro firavoravoantsika.

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

Fa lalàna ho an'ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik'Andriamanitr'i Jakoba.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin'i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

Nampiala ny sorony tamin'ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.

I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

Fony azom-pahoriana ianao, dia niantso Ahy, ka namonjy anao Aho; namaly anao tao amin'ny fiafenan'ny kotrokorana Aho, ary nizaha toetra anao tao amin'ny ranon'i Meriba.

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin'ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.

There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta; atanatanao ny vavanao, dia hofenoiko.

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;

But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan'ny tenany.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin'ny lalako ny Isiraely;

Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

Izay mankahala an'i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron'ny oloko;

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin'ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.

He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
