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.

¹To the Overseer. — `On the Gittith.` By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.

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

²Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.

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

³Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,

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

⁴For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

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

⁵A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known — I hear.

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

⁶From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.

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.

⁷In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. Selah.

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

⁸Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:

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

⁹There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.

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

¹⁰I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.

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

¹¹But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.

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

¹²And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.

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

¹³O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.

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

¹⁴As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

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.

¹⁵Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is — to the age.

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

¹⁶He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
