Psalms 40
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and hearkened to my supplication.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Niandry dia niandry an’ i Jehovah aho; ary nitodika nitsinjo ahy Izy ka nandre ny fitarainako.
2 And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
Dia nampakatra ahy avy tao amin’ ny lavaka fandringanana Izy, eny, tamin’ ny fotaka mandrevo; ary nampitoetra ny tongotro teo ambony vatolampy Izy ka nampijoro ahy.
3 And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
Ary nanisy fihiram-baovao teo am-bavako Izy, dia fideràna an’ Andriamanitsika; maro no hahita sy hatahotra ary hatoky an’ i Jehovah.
4 Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
Sambatra izay olona manao an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny, ka tsy mivily ho naman’ ny mpiavonavona na ny mpivadika ho amin’ ny lainga.
5 O Lord my God, thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, and in thy thoughts there is none who shall be likened to thee: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
Nohamaroinao ny fahagaganao sy ny hevitrao izay nataonao ho anay, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô. Tsy misy azo ampitahaina aminao Raha tiako hambara sy holazaina ireny, dia, indro, maro loatra izy ka tsy tambo isaina.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and [sacrifice] for sin thou didst not require.
Ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hohanina tsy mba sitrakao ny sofiko nataonao malady ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota tsy mba nilainao;
7 Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
Dia hoy izaho: inty aho tonga ao amin’ ny horonam-boky no nanoratana ahy.
8 I desired to do thy will, O my God, and thy law in the midst of mine heart.
Ny hanao ny sitraponao, Andriamanitra ô, no sitrako; ary ny lalanao no ato anatiko.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness.
Efa nilaza teny mahafaly ny amin’ ny fahamarinana teo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; indro ny molotro tsy mba nakomboko; Jehovah ô, Hianao no mahalala.
10 I have not hid thy truth within my heart, and I have declared thy salvation; I have not hid thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.
Ny fahamarinanao tsy mba nafeniko tato am-poko; ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao no nambarako; tsy nanafina ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao tamin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho.
11 But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually.
Hianao, Jehovah ô, aza miaro ny antranao tsy ho amiko; aoka ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao hiaro ahy mandrakariva.
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
Fa nanodidina ahy ny fahoriana tsy tambo isaina; nahazo ahy ny heloko, ka tsy mahay mijery aho; maro noho ny volon-dohako ireny, ka reraka ny foko.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw nigh to help me.
Aoka ho sitraky ny fonao, Jehovah ô, ny hanafaka ahy; Jehovah ô, faingàna hamonjy ahy.
14 Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
Aoka ho indray menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanimba ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy ho menatra izay mankasitraka ahy ho ory.
15 Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
Aoka ho ankona noho ny fahamenarany ireny manao amiko hoe: Hià! sakoa izay!
16 Let all those that seek thee, O Lord, exult and rejoice in thee; and let them that love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Aoka ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao izay rehetra mitady Anao; aoka izay rehetra tia ny famonjenao hanao mandrakariva hoe: hankalazaina anie Jehovah.
17 But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; thou art my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
Fa na dia ory sy malahelo aza aho, ny Tompo no mihevitra ahy; Mpamonjy sy Mpanafaka ahy Hianao; aza ela, Andriamanitro ô.
