¹{To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph.} Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

¹[Fiantsoana ny Isiraelita hifaly amin'Andriamanitra noho ny nitondràny azy nivoaka avy tany Egypta] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-gitith. Nataon'i Asafa. Mihobia ho an'Andriamanitra herintsika; manaova feo fifaliana ho an'Andriamanitr'i Jakoba.

²Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.

²Asandrato ny hira, ka velezo ny ampongatapaka, ary tendreo ny lokanga mahafinaritra mbamin'ny valiha.

³Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

³Tsofy ny anjomara amin'ny volana; eny, amin'ny feno-volana, dia amin'ny andro firavoravoantsika.

⁴For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

⁴Fa lalàna ho an'ny Isiraely izany, ary fitsipik'Andriamanitr'i Jakoba.

⁵He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.

⁵Notendreny ho vavolombelona eo amin'i Josefa izany, raha nandeha namely ny tany Egypta Izy; nandre teny tsy fantatro aho.

⁶I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

⁶Nampiala ny sorony tamin'ny entana Aho; nitsahatra tsy nitondra sobiky ny tànany.

⁷Thou 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.

⁷Fony 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.

⁸Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

⁸Mihainoa, ry oloko, dia hambarako aminao; enga anie hihaino Ahy ianao, ry Isiraely.

⁹There shall no strange ùgod be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign ùgod.

⁹Aza asiana andriamani-kafa eo aminao; ary aza mivavaka amin'ny andriamanitry ny firenena hafa.

¹⁰I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹⁰Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao niakatra avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta; atanatanao ny vavanao, dia hofenoiko.

¹¹But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

¹¹Fa tsy nihaino ny feoko ny oloko; ary ny Isiraely tsy nankato Ahy;

¹²So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

¹²Ka dia navelako hanaraka ny ditry ny fony Izy, handehanany manaraka ny fisainan'ny tenany.

¹³Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!

¹³Enga anie ka hihaino Ahy ny oloko, dia handeha amin'ny lalako ny Isiraely;

¹⁴I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

¹⁴Vetivety dia hampietry ny fahavalony Aho, ka hamerina ny tanako hamely ny rafiny;

¹⁵The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

¹⁵Izay mankahala an'i Jehovah dia hikoy aminy, ka dia haharitra mandrakizay ny andron'ny oloko;Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin'ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.

¹⁶And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

¹⁶Ary hampihinana azy vary tsara indrindra Izy; eny, tantely avy amin'ny vatolampy no hamokisako anao.
