Psalms 71
1 A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
Ihe ry Iehovà, ro itsolohako; ko apo’o ho salareñe,
2 Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline your ear to me, and save me.
Votsoro ami’ty havantaña’o, naho hahao; atokilaño amako ty ravembia’o vaho rombaho.
3 Be a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
Ehe t’ie ho vato fimoneñako, ho fimpoliako; fa nafanto’o ty handrombahañe ahiko; Ihe ro lamilamiko naho rova fiàroko.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
Avotsoro an-tañan-do-tsereke iraho, ry Andrianañahareko ami’ty fivontitira’ ty mpandilatse naho i mpampisoañey.
5 For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
Fa Ihe ro fitamàko, ry Iehovà Talè; ty natokisako boak’ami’te nahajalahy.
6 In you, I have been confirmed from conception. From my mother’s womb, you are my protector. In you, I will sing forever.
Ihe ty nirampiako boak’an-kovin-dreneko ao; Ihe ty nañakatse ahy an-tron-dreneko; Rengeko nainai’e irehe.
7 I have become to many as if I were a portent, but you are a strong helper.
Filatsà’ i màroy iraho, f’Ihe ro fipalirako maozatse.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, so that I may sing your glory, your greatness all day long.
Pea’ ty fibangoañe naho ty fiasiañ’Azo lomoñandro ty vavako,
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.
Ko aitoa’o iraho naho fa bey; ko mamorintseñe ahy naho milesa ty haozarako.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me. And those who watched for my soul have taken counsel as one,
Fa nikinia’ o rafelahikoo; vaho mitrao-pikilily ahy o mivoñoñe ty fiaikoo,
11 saying: “God has abandoned him. Pursue and overtake him. For there is no one to rescue him.”
ami’ty hoe: naforintsen’ Añahare, horidaño arè vaho tsepaho amy t’ie po-pañolotse.
12 O God, do not be far from me. O my God, provide for my assistance.
Ry Andrianañahare, ko ihànkaña’o, ry Andrianañahareko, malisà hañolots’ ahy.
13 May they be confounded, and may they fail, who drag down my soul. Let them be covered with confusion and shame, who seek evils for me.
Ho salareñe naho mongoreñe o manisý ty fiaikoo; le hoboñañ’ inje naho hameñarañe o mipay hijoy ahikoo.
14 But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all your praise.
Fa naho izaho, hitama nainai’e vaho honjoneko avao ty fandrengeako Azo.
15 My mouth will announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.
Ho talilie’ ty vavako o havantaña’oo, naho o fandrombaha’o lomoñandroo, fe nofiko ty hamaro’e.
16 I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.
Hindeseko o tolon-draha’o ra’elahio, ry Iehovà Talè; ho taroñeko ty havantaña’o, ty Azo avao.
17 You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,
Ry Andrianañahare, fa nanare’o ahy boak’ ami’ty nahajalahy ahy; pake henaneo, taroñeko avao o raha fanjaka fanoe’oo.
18 even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
Aa ndra t’ie bey naho fotivolo, ry Andrianañahare, ko farie’o ampara’ te ataliliko añ’afeafe ty haozara’o; ty hafatrara’o amy ze hene ho avy.
19 and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O God, who is like you?
Pak’ andindiñe añe ty havantaña’o, ry Andrianañahare. Ihe namonitse o raha ra’elahio: ry Andrianañahare, ia ty mañirinkiriñe ama’o?
20 How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.
Ihe nampahatrea ahiko haemberañe maro naho hasotriañe; ro hameloñ’ahy, hañakatse naho hampipoly ahy hirik’ an-kerakeran-tane ao.
21 You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.
Ehe, onjono ty engeko, vaho mitoliha hañohò ahy.
22 Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.
Ho rengeko ami’ty mandalina ka, ty ami’ty hatò’o, ry Andrianañahareko; ho saboeko ami’ty marovany, ry Masi-Toka’ Israele.
23 My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.
Hipoñake an-drebeke o soñikoo, ie mandrenge Azo an-tsabo, naho i fiaiko jineba’oy.
24 And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
Ho talilie’ ty lelako lomoñandro o havantaña’oo, fa salatse, toe meñatse o mipay hijoy ahikoo.
