Salamo 95
1 Avia, aoka isika hihoby ho an’ i Jehovah; Aoka isika hanao feo fifaliana ho an’ ny Vatolampy famonjena antsika.
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 Aoka hankeo anatrehany amin’ ny fiderana isika; Aoka hanao feo fifaliana ho Azy amin’ ny fihirana isika.
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 Fa Andriamanitra lehibe Jehovah, Ary Mpanjaka lehibe ambonin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra Izy.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Eo an-tànany ny fitoerana lalina amin’ ny tany; Ary Azy ny tendrombohitra avo.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Azy ny ranomasina, fa Izy no nanao azy, Ary ny tany maina dia noforonin’ ny tànany.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 Avia, ka aoka hiondrika sy hiankohoka isika; Aoka isika handohalika eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Mpanao antsika;
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 Fa Izy no Andriamanitsika; Ary olona fiandriny sy ondry tandremany isika. Enga anie ka hohenoinareo anio ny feony manao hoe:
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 Aza manamafy ny fonareo tahaka ny tao Meriba, Sy tahaka ny tamin’ ny andro tao Masa fony tany an-efitra,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 Izay nakan’ ny razanareo fanahy Ahy, Sy nizahany toetra Ahy, na dia efa hitany aza ny asako.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Efa-polo taona no nahamonamonaina Ahy tamin’ izany taranaka izany, Ka hoy Izaho: Olona maniasia amin’ ny fony izy Ka tsy mahalala ny lalako;
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Ka dia nianiana tamin’ ny fahatezerako Aho hoe: Tsy hiditra amin’ ny fitsaharako mihitsy izy.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
