Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Ry Andrianañahare, ino ty ifaria’o anay zafe-anake? Ino ty ifomboa’o o añondry fiandraze’oo?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Tiahio i valobohòke vinili’o haehaey, i foko jineba’o ho lova’oy! naho ty vohi’ i Tsiône fimoneña’oy.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Aonjono o fandia’oo mb’amy hakoahañe nainai’ey, jinoi’ i rafelahiy ze hene raha an-toe’ i miavakey ao.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
Niroharoha añivo’ o famantaña’oo o rafelahi’oo; najado’ iareo ty vilo’ iareo ho viloñe.
5 They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
Sata’e ty maonjom-pekoñe añ’ala matahetse ao;
6 And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
Ie henaneo, mamatsike am-pekoñe naho rabosàke o varamba’e nitsenèñe an-tsokitseo.
7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.
Finorototo’ iereo pak’an-tane i efe’o miavakey; nitivae’ iereo i fimoneñan- tahina’o masiñey.
8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Hoe ty fisafirin-tro’iareo: Antao haharo ambaneñe iaby iereo; Fonga nitomontoe’ iareo o toem-pivorin’ Añahare an-taneo.
9 We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Tsy mahatrea o vilo’aio zahay; tsy amam-pitoky ka; naho tsy ama’ay ty mahafohiñe te hombia.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Pak’ombia ry Andrianañahare, te mbe hanìtse avao i rafelahiy? Ho tsambolitio’ o malaiñ’azo nainai’e hao i tahina’oy?
11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
Ino ty nanitaha’o ty fità’o? I fitàn-kavana’oy? Afaho boak’ añ’araña’o ao ty fità’o, vaho mongoro?
12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Toe mpanjakako boake haehae t’i Andrianañahare, mitoloñe fandrombahañe an-tane atoy.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Riniaria’o an-kaozarañe i riakey vaho dinemo’o an-drano ao o loha’ i fañaneñeio.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Hinoto’o o loha’ i fañanen-driakeio, hamahana’o o mpimoneñe am-patrañeo.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Nipoñafe’o o rano mitsiritsiokeo naho o sakao; nimaihe’o o oñe mikararake nainai’eo.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Azo ty antoandro, Azo ka ty haleñe; fa nihajarie’o o hazavàñeo naho i àndroy
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
Najado’o iaby o fiefetsefe’ ty tane toio, nanoe’o ty asotry naho ty asara.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
Tiahio, ry Iehovà, te niteratera i rafelahiy, vaho nitivae’ o lo-tserekeo i Tahina’oy.
19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
Ko atolo’o ami’ty biby hàko ty deho’o, ko haliño’o nainai’e o nanilofe’oo.
20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Ambeno i fañinay, fa atseke kibohon-kasiahañe o toetse maieñe’ an-taneo!
21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Ko hampolie’o an-kasalarañe o demokeo! fa hibango i tahina’oy o misotrio naho o poie’eo.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
Miongaha, ry Andrianañahare, ihalalio o azoo; tiahio ty fiterà’ i dagolay lomoñandro.
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
Ko haliño ty feo’ o rafelahi’oo; mitoabotse nainai’e ty fifandragaragà’ o mitroatse ama’oo.
