Salamo 84
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-hagitith. Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny tabernakelinao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ô!
For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine-presses. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 Manina sady vonton’ alahelo ny kianjan’ i Jehovah ny fanahiko; ny foko sy ny nofoko mihoby an’ Andriamanitra velona.
My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.
3 Eny, ny tsikirity mahita trano, ary ny sidintsidina mahita akany ho azy hametrahany ny zanany. Dia ny alitaranao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, Mpanjakako sy Andriamanitro.
Yea, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Sambatra izay mitoetra ao an-tranonao; hidera Anao mandrakariva izy. (Sela)
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will praise thee evermore. (Pause)
5 Sambatra izay olona manan-kery avy aminao; ao am-pony ny lalana;
Blessed is the man whose help is of thee, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
6 Raha mandeha mamaky ny lohasaha Baka izy, Dia ataony misy loharano izany, ary ny loha-orana manarom-pitahiana azy.
the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.
7 Miampy hery eny am-pandehanana izy; samy miseho eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra any Ziona izy rehetra.
They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro ô, henoy ny fivavako; mandrenesa ry Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba ô. (Sela)
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. (Pause)
9 Andriamanitra, Ampinganay ô, tsinjovy ka jereo ny tavan’ ny voahosotrao.
Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 Fa ny indray andro eo an-kianjanao dia tsara noho ny arivo; aleoko mipetraka eo amin’ ny tokonam-baravaran’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, toy izay mitoetra ao an-dain’ ny ratsy fanahy.
For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
11 Fa Masoandro sy Ampinga Jehovah Andriamanitra; fahasoavana sy voninahitra no homen’ i Jehovah; tsy hiaro zava-tsoa amin’ izay mandeha amin’ ny fahitsiana izy.
For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
12 Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, sambatra izay olona matoky Anao.
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee.
