Psalms 41

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How happy are those who take care of the poor! When they are in trouble the Lord will save them.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Sambatra izay mahatsiaro ny malahelo; Jehovah hamonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana.

2 The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. They will live happily in the land, and they will not be handed over to their enemies.

Jehovah hitandrina sy hiaro azy tsy ho faty; hatao ho sambatra ambonin’ ny tany izy, ary tsy mba hatolotrao amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny fahavalony.

3 The Lord looks after them when they're sick; he makes them well from their illness.

Jehovah hanohana azy eo ambonin’ ny farafara hitsaboana azy. Ny fandriany rehetra eo am-paharariany dia hovanao.

4 “Lord, please be gracious to me,” I asked. “Please heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

Hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko; sitrano ny fanahiko, fa efa nanota taminao aho.

5 Those who hate me only say evil things about me. “When is he going to die, and people forget all about him?” they ask.

Ny fahavaloko maniry ahy ho simba ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho faty izy, ka ho very ny anarany?

6 They come to visit me, but their sympathy is not sincere. They're only interested in the bad news, which they spread around as soon as they leave.

Ary raha avy mamangy, izy dia miteny zava-poana; ny fony mamory faharatsiana ho an’ ny tenany; mivoaka eny ivelany izy ka milazalaza.

7 All who hate me talk in whispers about my condition, hoping for the worst.

Mitakoritsika ahy izay rehetra mankahala ahy; misaina hanisy ratsy ahy izy.

8 “He's been cursed with some terrible disease,” they say. “Now he's bed-ridden he'll never recover!”

Tena zava-dratsy, hoy izy, no aidina aminy; ary raha mandry izy dia tsy hitsangana intsony.

9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted, who shared meals with me—even he has turned against me.

Eny, ny sakaizako, izay maha-toky ahy sady nihinana ny haniko, no nanangana ny ombelahin-tongony hamely ahy.

10 But you Lord, please be gracious to me, make me well so I can repay them!

Fa ianao kosa Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka atsangano aho mba hamaliako azy.

11 I know you are pleased with me because you have not let my enemies win and shout in triumph over me.

Izao no hahafantarako fa mankasitraka ahy Hianao, dia ny tsy anakoran’ ny fahavaloko ahy.

12 You have supported me because of my integrity, you have brought me into your presence forever.

Ary ny amiko, dia manohana ahy amin’ ny fahitsiako Hianao, ka mampitoetra ahy eo anatrehanao mandrakizay.

13 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen and amen!

Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin’ ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.
