Psalms 35
1 A psalm of David. Oppose my opponents, Lord; fight those who are fighting against me.
Ry Iehovà, atretréo o miatreatre ahio, mialia amo mifandrapak’ amakoo.
2 Put your armor on, and pick up your shield. Get ready, come and help me.
Andrambeso fikalan-defoñe naho fikala-meso, le miongaha hañolotse ahy.
3 Draw your spear and your javelin, confront those who are chasing me. Tell me, “I am your salvation!”
Apontsoaño ty lefo’o naho i fekon’ aliy; hatreatrè’o o mañoridañ’ahikoo saontsio ami’ty fiaiko ty hoe: Izaho ro fandrombahañe azo.
4 Shame them! Humiliate those who are trying to kill me! Turn them back! Disgrace those who are planning to hurt me!
Salatse naho po-asiñe o mipay ty fiaikoo; ampiambohò vaho ampimeñaro o mikilily hijoy ahikoo.
5 Let them be like chaff blown by the wind; let the angel of the Lord drive them away.
Ano ho kafo’e aolon-tioke eo, le hatao’ i anjeli’ Iehovày soike.
6 May their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord chasing them down.
Ano haieñe naho halamañe ty fombà’ iareo, horidañe’ i anjeli’ Iehovày.
7 For no reason they set a net to catch me; for no reason they dug a pit to trap me.
Tsy aman-taly ty nañetaha’iareo harato, tsy vente’e ty nihalien-koboñe ty fiaiko,
8 Let disaster come on them suddenly; let the net they set catch them instead; let the pit they dug trap them instead.
Hivovò ama’e abey ty firotsahañe, le ho tsepahe’ i harato naeta’ey; vaho amy firotsahañey ty hivarinjonjoha’e.
9 Then I will be glad in the Lord; I will be happy in his salvation.
Hirebek’ am’ Iehovà ty fiaiko, hirenge amy fandrombaha’ey.
10 Every part of me will say, Who can compare to you, Lord? You rescue the weak from the strong; the poor and needy from robbers.
Hanao ty hoe iaby o taolakoo: Ry Iehovà ia ty hambañ’ Ama’o? Mpandrombake o rarakeo amy maozatse te ama’ey; Eka, ty poie’e naho ty mpisotry amy mpamaok’ azey.
11 Hostile witnesses stand up to testify against me, accusing me of crimes I don't know anything about.
Mitroatse o mpitalily tsivokatseo, mañody ahy an-draha amoeako.
12 They pay me back with evil instead of good. I feel like giving up.
Valè’ iereo raty ty soa; mampioremeñe ty fiaiko.
13 But when they were sick, I put on clothes of sackcloth in sympathy. I denied myself through fasting. May my prayer for them return to bless me too.
Aa naho izaho, nisaron-gony te natindry iereo, nirè-batañ’aman-dilitse, fe nimpoly an-troko i halalikoy.
14 I was upset for them, as if they were my own friends or family; I bowed down in grief as if I was mourning my own mother.
Nandenako hoe t’ie nirañeko ndra nirahalahiko; nidròdreke an-kontoke manahake te nandala rene.
15 But when I was in trouble, they gathered around and laughed at me. Even strangers I don't know attacked me, constantly tearing me apart.
Fe nirebeke iereo t’ie nikoletra, nifañosoñe, nifanontoñe hiatreatre ahy o mpamofoke alik’ amakoo, nandrimitse ahy avao tsy nitroatse;
16 Like irreligious people mocking a cripple they mock me and call me names, gnashing their teeth at me.
hoe mpiteratera tsi-aman-Kake an-tsabadidake, ty ikodrita’ iareo nife;
17 How long, Lord, will you sit by and just watch? Save me from their vicious attacks; defend the only life I have from these lions.
O Talè, pak’ ombia te hisamba avao? Avotsoro ami’ty fandrotsaha’ iareo ty troko; amo lionao ty fiaiko.
18 Then I will thank you in front of the whole congregation and praise you in front of all the people.
Andriañeko am-pivori-bey ao; mijejo azo am-balobohòk’ ao.
19 Don't let my enemies take pleasure in my troubles, those people who hate me and tell lies about me, gloating over me for no reason.
Lonike tsy hirebeha’ o rafelahiko tsy amam-poto’eo; tsy hipie maso amako o malaiñe ahy tsy aman-tali’eo.
20 They are not looking for peace; they invent malicious and deceptive schemes against innocent peace-loving people.
Tsy mivolam-pilongoañe iereo, te mone mikilily volam-pitake amo mianjiñe an-tane atoio.
21 They open their mouths wide to make accusations against me, saying, “Look! Look! We saw it with our own eyes!”
Eka ivañavaña’ iereo vava manao ty hoe: Hiy! Hiy! fa nitrea’ o maso’aio.
22 But Lord, you've seen all this! Say something! Don't give up on me, Lord!
Nivazoho’o ry Iehovà, ko mianjiñe; ry Talè, ko mitòtse amako
23 Wake up! Get up and defend me, my Lord and my God! Take up my case and make sure justice is done!
Mitsekafa, mivañona hañomea’o to! Imbao i ahikoy ry Andrianañahareko naho Talèko.
24 Vindicate me, my Lord and my God, because you are just and right. Don't let them gloat over me.
Izakao ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko ty amy havantaña’oy; le ko apo’o hirebeha’ iereo.
25 Don't let them say to themselves, “Look! We got what we wanted!” Don't let them say, “We completely destroyed him!”
Ko ado’o hanoe’e ty hoe an-troke: Hiry! ty fañiria’ay! ndra ty hoe: Fa nabea’ay.
26 Make them totally ashamed, all those who are happy for the trouble I'm in. Let those who are celebrating over me be covered with shame and dishonor.
Atraofo salareñe naho meñareñe o mitohàk’ amy haemberakoio; ampisikinen-kameñarañe naho inje o mirengèvok’ amakoo.
27 Instead let those who are pleased I've been vindicated celebrate and shout for joy. Let them always say, “How great is the Lord! He is happy when his servants live in peace and have what they need.”
Hipoñak’ an-drebeke naho handia-taroba o mifale ami’ty halio tahikoo; hitolom-panao ty hoe: Onjono t’Iehovà, ry mpifale amy fanintsiña’ i mpitoro’eiy.
28 I will tell others about your character of truth and right, praising you all day long!
Hitaroñe ty havantaña’o ty lelako, ty enge’o lomoñandro.
