Psalms 97
1 Yahweh is the king! I want [everyone on] the earth to be glad/happy, and the [people who live on] the islands in the oceans to [also] rejoice [about that!]
Jehovah no Mpanjaka, aoka ho faly ny tany; Aoka ho ravoravo ny nosy maro.
2 There are very dark clouds around him [to hide him]; he rules [MTY] righteously/justly and fairly.
Rahona sy aizim-pito no manodidina Azy Fahamarinana sy fitsarana no fanorenan’ ny seza fiandrianany.
3 He [sends] fire in front of him, and he completely burns all his enemies in that fire.
Misy afo mialoha Azy ka mandevona ny fahavalony manodidina.
4 All around the world he causes lightning to flash; [people on] the earth see it, and it causes them to [be afraid and] tremble.
Mahazava izao tontolo izao ny helany; Mahita izany ny tany ka mihorohoro.
5 The mountains/hills melt like wax in front of Yahweh, the one who is the Lord, [who rules] over all the earth.
Ny tendrombohitra miempo tahaka ny savoka eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Dia eo anatrehan’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra.
6 The [angels in] [MTY] heaven proclaim that he acts righteously, and all the people-groups see his glory.
Ny lanitra maneho ny fahamarinany, Ary ny firenena rehetra mahita ny voninahiny.
7 Everyone who worships idols should be ashamed; all those who are proud of their false gods [should realize that their gods are useless], [It is as though] all those gods bow down [to worship] Yahweh.
Aoka ho menatra izay rehetra manompo sarin-javatra voasokitra sy miarahaba tena ny amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy; Miankohofa eo anoloan’ i Jehovah ianareo andriamanitra rehetra.
8 [The people] [MTY] of Jerusalem hear [about Yahweh] and are glad/happy, and [people in the other] [MTY] cities in Judah [also] rejoice, because Yahweh judges [and punishes wicked people].
Ziona mandre ka faly; Ary ravoravo ny zanakavavin’ i Joda Noho ny fitsaranao, Jehovah ô.
9 Yahweh is the supreme [king] over all the earth; he has very great power, and all the [other] gods have no power at all.
Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, no avo indrindra ambonin’ ny tany rehetra; Efa avo ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra Hianao.
10 Yahweh loves those who hate what [people do that] is evil; he protects the lives of his people, and he rescues them when the wicked [people try to harm them].
Hianareo izay tia an’ i Jehovah, mankahalà ny ratsy; Miaro ny fanahin’ ny olony masìna Izy Ary mamonjy azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
11 His light shines on righteous [people]; he causes those who are righteous to rejoice.
Ny fahazavana no voafafy ho an’ ny marina, Ary ny fifafiana ho an’ ny mahitsy fo.
12 You righteous [people], rejoice about what Yahweh [has done], and thank him, our holy God!
Mifalia amin’ i Jehovah, ry olo-marina, Ary miderà ny anarany masìna.
