Psalms 18
1 Unto the end. For David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke the words of this canticle to the Lord, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I will love you, O Lord my strength.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ity fihirana ity tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ i Saoly; dia hoy izy: ―
2 The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my liberator. My God is my helper, and I hope in him: my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.
3 Praising, I will call upon the Lord. And I will be saved from my enemies.
Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
4 The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the torrents of iniquity dismayed me.
Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord, and I cried out to my God. And he listened to my voice from his holy temple. And my cry in his presence entered into his ears.
Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.
7 The earth was shaken, and it trembled. The foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and they were shaken, because he was angry with them.
Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
8 A smoke ascended by his wrath, and a fire flared up from his face: coals were kindled by it.
Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
9 He bent the heavens, and they descended. And darkness was under his feet.
Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
10 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew: he flew upon the feathers of the winds.
Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
11 And he set darkness as his hiding place, with his tabernacle all around him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
12 At the brightness that was before his sight, the clouds crossed by, with hail and coals of fire.
Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
13 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
14 And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them. He multiplied lightnings, and he set them in disarray.
Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
15 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were revealed, by your rebuke, O Lord, by the inspiration of the Spirit of your wrath.
Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao.
16 He sent from on high, and he accepted me. And he took me up, out of many waters.
Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
17 He rescued me from my strongest enemies, and from those who hated me. For they had been too strong for me.
Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
18 They intercepted me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my protector.
Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
19 And he led me out, into a wide place. He accomplished my salvation, because he willed me.
Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
20 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice, and he will repay me according to the purity of my hands.
Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
21 For I have preserved the ways of the Lord, and I have not behaved impiously before my God.
Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
22 For all his judgments are in my sight, and his justice, I have not pushed away from me.
Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
23 And I will be immaculate together with him, and I will keep myself from my iniquity.
Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
24 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
25 With the holy, you will be holy, and with the innocent, you will be innocent,
Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
26 and with the elect, you will be elect, and with the perverse, you will be perverse.
Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
27 For you will save the humble people, but you will bring down the eyes of the arrogant.
Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
28 For you illuminate my lamp, O Lord. My God, enlighten my darkness.
Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
29 For in you, I will be delivered from temptation; and with my God, I will climb over a wall.
Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
30 As for my God, his way is undefiled. The eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire. He is the protector of all who hope in him.
Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
31 For who is God, except the Lord? And who is God, except our God?
Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
32 It is God who has wrapped me with virtue and made my way immaculate.
Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
33 It is he who has perfected my feet, like the feet of deer, and who stations me upon the heights.
Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
34 It is he who trains my hands for battle. And you have set my arms like a bow of brass.
Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
35 And you have given me the protection of your salvation. And your right hand sustains me. And your discipline has corrected me unto the end. And your discipline itself will teach me.
Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
36 You have expanded my footsteps under me, and my tracks have not been weakened.
Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
37 I will pursue my enemies and apprehend them. And I will not turn back until they have failed.
Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
38 I will break them, and they will not be able to stand. They will fall under my feet.
Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
39 And you have wrapped me with virtue for the battle. And those rising up against me, you have subdued under me.
Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
40 And you have given the back of my enemies to me, and you have destroyed those who hated me.
Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
41 They cried out, but there was none to save them, to the Lord, but he did not heed them.
Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
42 And I will crush them into dust before the face of the wind, so that I will obliterate them like the mud in the streets.
Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
43 You will rescue me from the contradictions of the people. You will set me at the head of the Gentiles.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
44 A people I did not know has served me. As soon as their ears heard, they were obedient to me.
Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
45 The sons of foreigners have been deceitful to me, the sons of foreigners have grown weak with time, and they have wavered from their paths.
Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
46 The Lord lives, and blessed is my God, and may the God of my salvation be exalted:
Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
47 O God, who vindicates me and who subdues the people under me, my liberator from my enraged enemies.
Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
48 And you will exalt me above those who rise up against me. From the iniquitous man, you will rescue me.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe.
49 Because of this, O Lord, I will confess to you among the nations, and I will compose a psalm to your name:
Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
50 magnifying the salvation of his king, and showing mercy to David, his Christ, and to his offspring, even for all time.
Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
