I dada malala sy i neniko izay

I dada malala sy i neniko izay

i dada malala sy neniko izay

dia fola-damosina ery taminay,
i neny nitaiza, nibaby, nanasa
i dada isan'andro torovana niasa
Zaho no tomady sy tena salama
Dada no vizana be nikarama
Zaho no olom-banona sady hendry tsara
Neny no sasatra nikarakara

Mba inona kosa no halaviko ireny
Fitiavan-tsy ritran'i dada sy neny?
Manaraka tsara izay anatra omeny,
Mivavaka ho azy ho valibabeny.

I remember my dear late father and mother,
who were totally knackered for their children,
mother was used to rearing, carrying us in her arms, and looking after us
father was used to be dead tired of working all days
If today I am strong and in good shape
it's due to father's donkey work as he slaved away
If today I have succeeded and of good reputation
it's due to mother's tireless care

What can I do now to honor in return
This unending love ?
I will always obey their pieces of advice
and my unending prayers will be their reward for having taken care of me

(sorry, I forgot the name of the author)

Valibabena is what the children must do to honor their parents, since they had been carrying  them on their backs  as a child, in a pick-a-back fashion, 

Jesus Film in Bara language (Madagascar dialect)

According to a Cambridge University study, no matter how the letters of a word are put,  if the first and the last letters are in the right place we can read it. It is possible because we read the word as a whole not as a letter-to-letter association.

So read the sentences here

1: Jseosy no tsy moiva omlay sy aino ary mnadarkziay

Got it?

Hebrews 13: 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever
Hebreo 13: 8 - Jesosy no tsy miova omaly sy anio ary mandrakizay.

2- Isaiah 43:1-28 

But now, tihs is waht the Lord syas—
    he who craeted you, Jaocb,
    he who fromed you, Isarel:
“Do not faer, for I hvae reedemed you;
    I hvae sumomned you by nmae; you are mnie.
² When you psas thourgh the wtaers,
    I will be with you;
and when you psas thourgh the revirs,
    they will not sewep over you.
When you wlak thourgh the fire,
    you will not be bruned;
    the falmes will not set you abzale.
³ For I am the Lord yuor God,
    the Hloy One of Israel, yuor Svaior

Sure that if you cannot read the promises concerning you, I doubt you will benefit from them. So here they are. 

Plain English:

1- But now, this is what the Lord says—
    he who created you, Jacob,
    he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned [= called] you by name; you are mine.
² When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.
³ For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior

The Lord's prayer 

59:46 -1:00:13

Rainay an-danitsy angny

Hasigno ny anaragnao

Ho avy ny fanjakanao

Hatao an-tany  ny sitraponao

Fa koa any an-danitsa agny

Omeo anay ny hanina sahaza anay  isan’andro

Diovy ny fahotanay

Fa koa agnay mandio troka amin’ny magnota aminay

Embeno amin’ny fanotehila ahay

La alao amin’ny ratsy
