Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
Janjiño o filolohakoo ry Andrianañahare; ko mietak’ amo halalikoo.
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
Haoño iraho, le toiño; ie tsitoboboly am-pitoreoko, toe miñeoñeoñe avao
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
ty amy feon-drafelahikoy, ami’ty fanindria’ o lo-tserekeo, ie mametsa-kasosorañe; vaho am-piloroloroañe ty atreatré’ iareo ahy.
4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
Miola ty an-troko ao, vaho midoiñ’ amako ty fangebahebàn-kavilasy.
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Midoñ’amako ty firevendreveñañe naho ty fihondrahondràñe, vaho opoe’ ty anifañe.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
Hoe raho: Ee te nanañ’ elatse hoe deho! le ho nitiliñe añe vaho nitofa;
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
Eka, ho niherereake mb’eo, ho nañialo am-patrambey añe. Selà
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
Ho nifiotse mb’am-pipalirako mb’eo, ty ami’ty tio-bey naho ty afo-rano.
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
Votemboteo ry Talè, tseraho ty famele’ iareo, fa nahatrea piaroteñe naho fiolañe an-drova ao iraho.
10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
Handro an-kaleñe iereo ro mitingatinga ambone kijoly ey, añivo’e ao ty hatsivokarañe naho fikitrohan-draty.
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
Firotsahañe ty añivo’e ao, tsy mienga o kiririsa’eo ty joy naho ty fìtake.
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
Tsy t’ie rafelahy te mañìnje ahy, fa ho nileoko, tsy t’ie mpalaiñ’ ahy te itoabora’e, fa ho nietahako.
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
Te mone ihe, rahambako, mpiamako naho rañeko,
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
nimamy ty fifañohahòhan-tika, mbore nitrao-pivovotse amy màroy mb’añ’anjomban’ Añahare mb’eo.
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
Ee t’ie ho fañahieñe mb’am-pihomaham-beo, agodoño veloñe an-tsikeokeok’ ao; amy te an-kaloloañe ao ty kiboho’e; añivo’e ao. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
Aa naho izaho, ho kanjieko t’Andrianañahare; vaho handrombak’ ahy t’Iehovà.
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
Hariva naho handro vaho an-tsipinde ty hitoreovako naho hiñeoñeoñe; vaho ho janji’e ty feoko.
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
Hijebaña’e an-kanintsiñe amy fifandraparapahañe amakoy.
19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
Hijanjiñe t’i Andrianañahare vaho ho toiñe’e iareo; I miambesatse am-piambesa’e haehaey, Selà toe tsy miova iareo, tsy mañeveñe aman’ Añahare.
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
F’ie mañonjo-haoke hañatreatre amo nifampilongo ama’eo, ie nifotetse amy fañina’ey,
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
Nalama te amo solikeo o entam-palie’eo fe aly avao ty añ’ arofo’e ao; nalea ta o menakeo o saontsi’eo, te mone fibara napontsoañe.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Apoho am’ Iehovà o kilanka’oo, le ho tohaña’e; tsy hado’e higavingaviñe o vantañeo.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
F’ihe ry Andrianañahare: ro hampijoroboñ’ iareo an-kobon-dalek’ao; tsy hiveloma’ ondaty mampiori-dio naho mamañahio, ty an-tsasa’ o andro’eo, fa naho izaho, Ihe ro hiatoako.
