Psalms 18
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Kokoako irehe ry Iehovà, haozarako.
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Ry lamilamiko, kijoly fipalirako, naho mpañaha ahiko; r’Iehovà, ry tseram-bato fitsolohako, fikalan-defoko vaho tsifam-pandrombahañe ahiko, fitilik’ aboko t’i Andrianañahareko.
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Kanjieko t’Iehovà, fa mañeva ho rengèñe; vaho votsotse amo rafelahikoo.
4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
Vinandibandi’ o vahen-kavilasio, le ho nandimpotse ahy ty fisorotombaha’ i Beliale;
Namolonkoñe ahy o vaham-pihomahañeo, niatreatre ahy o fandrin-kavilasio. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
Nikoike Iehovà t’ie nalovilovy, nikaik’ imba aman’ Añahareko; jinanji’e an-kivoho’e ao ty feoko; vaho niheo añatrefa’e an-dravembia’e, ty toreoko.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
Niezeñezeñe vaho nihitikitike amy zao ty tane; niozoñozoñe naho nanginikinike ty faha’ o vohitseo amy fifombo’ey.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
Niforoake hatoeñe o fiantsona’eo naho boak’ am-palie’e ao ty afo nahaforototo, nahasolebatse ty foroha.
9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Nazè’e ka i likerañey vaho nizotso; ieñe mangonkòñe ty tambane’ o fandia’eo.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
Niningira’e ty kerobe le nitiliñe; eka nibirirìñe añ’ela’ i tiokey.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Nanoe’e fietahañe ty hamoromoroñañe; ho kibohotse hañohok’ aze, ty hangonkòn-drano, ty rahoñe migoboñe an-dikerañe ey.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
Niboroboñak’ amo rahoñe milodolodoo ty havandra naho foroha mirekake amy fireandreañe añatrefa’ey,
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
Nañàmpiñe an-dikerañe ao t’Iehovà, nampipoña-piarañanañañe t’i Andindimoneñe; havandra gadaboñe naho foroha mirebareba.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Nahì’e mb’eo o ana-pàle’eo, le nampivarakaihe’e; nampiriaria’e ty helatse vaho nampivalitsikotahe’e.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Niboak’ amy zao o kadahan-dranoo, nikorendake o faha’ ty tane toio, ami’ty fitrevo’o ry Iehovà, ami’ty fitorotosi’ ty kofòm-piantsona’o.
16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
Nirahe’e boak’añ’abo eñe, le rinambe’e iraho; sininto’e boak’ an-drano maro.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
Rinomba’e amy rafelahiko maozatsey, amo malaiñe ahikoo, amy t’ie nifatratse te amako.
18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
Natretré’ iereo amy andro naha-ampohek’ ahikoy, fe nañolots’ ahiko t’Iehovà.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Nampionjone’e mb’an-toetse mangadagadan-draho, hinaha’e amy te no’e.
20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Nanambe ahiko ami’ty havantañako t’Iehovà; ami’ty halio tañako ro nañavaha’e ahiko.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Amy te ambenako o lala’ Iehovào; vaho tsy mivik’ aman’Añahareko am-bodongeron-draho.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
Hene tañatrefako o taro’eo, le tsy nampisitaheko amako o fañè’eo.
23 And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
Tokan-tro ama’e iraho, vaho milie-batañe tsy hanao sida;
24 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Aa le tinambe’ Iehovà amy havañonakoy, ami’ty falio-tañako am-pivazohoa’e.
25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
Ami’ty mitretre ro iboaha’o ho mpiferenaiñe, ami’ty vañoñe ro iboaha’o ho vantañe,
26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
ami’ty mikanitsoke ro iboaha’o ho ki’e. vaho ami’ty mengoke ro iboaha’o ho minironiroke.
27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
Toe rombahe’o ty tretram-po, fe arè’o o maso mitahèbokeo.
28 For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
Ihe ro mamiañe ty jiroko, mampazava o iekoo ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Ihe ro hañoridañako ty firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; mahavokon-jolok’ ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Aa naho i Andrianañahare! hiringiri’e ty lala’e, niventeañe o fepè’ Iehovào; Ie ty Mpañaro’ ze hene miato ama’e
31 For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
Ia t’i Andrianañahare naho tsy Iehovà? Ia ty lamilamy naho tsy i Andrianañaharen-tikañey?
32 The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
T’i Andrianañahare mpanìkiñe ahy an-kaozarañe, vaho mpamantañe ty liako.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
Ampanahafe’e amo tombom-panalokeo o tombokoo, avotra’e amo haboakoo.
34 Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
Aò’e hifandrapake o tañakoo, mahavohotse fale torisìke o sirakoo.
35 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
Natolo’o ahy ka ty fikalan-defom-pandrombaha’o; naho nanozañe ahy ty fitàn-kavana’o, nampionjoñe ahiko ty hamoran’ arofo’o.
36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
Nihalavae’o ty fandingàñako ambaneko eo, fe tsy nidorasitse o tombokoo.
37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
Nihoridañeko o rafelahikoo le nahatratse, tsy himpoly iraho naho tsy t’ie fonga rotsake.
38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
Ie tinomboko tsy hiongake ka, nikorovok’ ambane’ tomboko eo.
39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
Fa nampidiañe’o amako ty haozarañe hialiako naho ampiandalie’o amako o miatreatre ahikoo.
40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
Nampitolihe’o amako ty hàto’ o rafelahikoo, vaho rinotsako o malaiñ’ahikoo.
41 They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
Nikaike iereo, fe tsy amam-pandrombake— am’Iehovà, fe tsy tinoi’e.
42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Aa le dinemodemoko ho deboke, haboelen-tioke iereo, nariako hoe litsak’ an-dalañe ey.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
Vinotso’o ami’ty fioliñoliña’ ondatio iraho, le nampifehè’o ahy o fifelehañeo; mitoroñe ahy ondaty nofikoo.
44 At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
Vata’e mahajanjiñe iereo, le manoiñe ahy. mitsolofìñe amako o anan-drenetaneo.
45 Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
Minik’ avao o anan’ambahinio, le mihondrahondra t’ie miakatse am-pitsifira’e ao.
46 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
Veloñe t’Iehovà! Andriaño i lamilamikoy! onjoneñe t’i Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko,
47 The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
i Andrianañahare mpamale-fate ho ahiy, naho mampiandaly ondatio ambaneko eo,
48 Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
Haha’e amo rafelahikoo iraho, toe onjone’o ambone’ o mpitroatse amakoo, vaho avotso’o am’ ondaty mitrotrofiakeo.
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
Aa le handriañeko amo fifeheañeo irehe ry Iehovà; vaho ho saboeko ty Tahina’o.
50 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Ra’elahy ty fandrombahañe atolo’e amy mpanjaka’ey; vaho iferenaiña’e i noriza’ey, i Davide naho i tarira’ey nainai’e donia.
