Psalms 18
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.
Kokoako irehe ry Iehovà, haozarako.
2 The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
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 vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
Kanjieko t’Iehovà, fa mañeva ho rengèñe; vaho votsotse amo rafelahikoo.
4 The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
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 But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
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 trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
Niezeñezeñe vaho nihitikitike amy zao ty tane; niozoñozoñe naho nanginikinike ty faha’ o vohitseo amy fifombo’ey.
8 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
Niforoake hatoeñe o fiantsona’eo naho boak’ am-palie’e ao ty afo nahaforototo, nahasolebatse ty foroha.
9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
Nazè’e ka i likerañey vaho nizotso; ieñe mangonkòñe ty tambane’ o fandia’eo.
10 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
Niningira’e ty kerobe le nitiliñe; eka nibirirìñe añ’ela’ i tiokey.
11 He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
Nanoe’e fietahañe ty hamoromoroñañe; ho kibohotse hañohok’ aze, ty hangonkòn-drano, ty rahoñe migoboñe an-dikerañe ey.
12 At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
Niboroboñak’ amo rahoñe milodolodoo ty havandra naho foroha mirekake amy fireandreañe añatrefa’ey,
13 The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
Nañàmpiñe an-dikerañe ao t’Iehovà, nampipoña-piarañanañañe t’i Andindimoneñe; havandra gadaboñe naho foroha mirebareba.
14 Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
Nahì’e mb’eo o ana-pàle’eo, le nampivarakaihe’e; nampiriaria’e ty helatse vaho nampivalitsikotahe’e.
15 And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
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 hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
Nirahe’e boak’añ’abo eñe, le rinambe’e iraho; sininto’e boak’ an-drano maro.
17 He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
Rinomba’e amy rafelahiko maozatsey, amo malaiñe ahikoo, amy t’ie nifatratse te amako.
18 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
Natretré’ iereo amy andro naha-ampohek’ ahikoy, fe nañolots’ ahiko t’Iehovà.
19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
Nampionjone’e mb’an-toetse mangadagadan-draho, hinaha’e amy te no’e.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
Nanambe ahiko ami’ty havantañako t’Iehovà; ami’ty halio tañako ro nañavaha’e ahiko.
21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
Amy te ambenako o lala’ Iehovào; vaho tsy mivik’ aman’Añahareko am-bodongeron-draho.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
Hene tañatrefako o taro’eo, le tsy nampisitaheko amako o fañè’eo.
23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
Tokan-tro ama’e iraho, vaho milie-batañe tsy hanao sida;
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
Aa le tinambe’ Iehovà amy havañonakoy, ami’ty falio-tañako am-pivazohoa’e.
25 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
Ami’ty mitretre ro iboaha’o ho mpiferenaiñe, ami’ty vañoñe ro iboaha’o ho vantañe,
26 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
ami’ty mikanitsoke ro iboaha’o ho ki’e. vaho ami’ty mengoke ro iboaha’o ho minironiroke.
27 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
Toe rombahe’o ty tretram-po, fe arè’o o maso mitahèbokeo.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
Ihe ro mamiañe ty jiroko, mampazava o iekoo ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
29 For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
Ihe ro hañoridañako ty firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; mahavokon-jolok’ ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
30 The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: 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 besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
Ia t’i Andrianañahare naho tsy Iehovà? Ia ty lamilamy naho tsy i Andrianañaharen-tikañey?
32 God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
T’i Andrianañahare mpanìkiñe ahy an-kaozarañe, vaho mpamantañe ty liako.
33 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
Ampanahafe’e amo tombom-panalokeo o tombokoo, avotra’e amo haboakoo.
34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
Aò’e hifandrapake o tañakoo, mahavohotse fale torisìke o sirakoo.
35 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
Natolo’o ahy ka ty fikalan-defom-pandrombaha’o; naho nanozañe ahy ty fitàn-kavana’o, nampionjoñe ahiko ty hamoran’ arofo’o.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
Nihalavae’o ty fandingàñako ambaneko eo, fe tsy nidorasitse o tombokoo.
37 I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
Nihoridañeko o rafelahikoo le nahatratse, tsy himpoly iraho naho tsy t’ie fonga rotsake.
38 I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
Ie tinomboko tsy hiongake ka, nikorovok’ ambane’ tomboko eo.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
Fa nampidiañe’o amako ty haozarañe hialiako naho ampiandalie’o amako o miatreatre ahikoo.
40 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Nampitolihe’o amako ty hàto’ o rafelahikoo, vaho rinotsako o malaiñ’ahikoo.
41 They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
Nikaike iereo, fe tsy amam-pandrombake— am’Iehovà, fe tsy tinoi’e.
42 Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
Aa le dinemodemoko ho deboke, haboelen-tioke iereo, nariako hoe litsak’ an-dalañe ey.
43 Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.
Vinotso’o ami’ty fioliñoliña’ ondatio iraho, le nampifehè’o ahy o fifelehañeo; mitoroñe ahy ondaty nofikoo.
44 As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
Vata’e mahajanjiñe iereo, le manoiñe ahy. mitsolofìñe amako o anan-drenetaneo.
45 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Minik’ avao o anan’ambahinio, le mihondrahondra t’ie miakatse am-pitsifira’e ao.
46 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
Veloñe t’Iehovà! Andriaño i lamilamikoy! onjoneñe t’i Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko,
47 It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.
i Andrianañahare mpamale-fate ho ahiy, naho mampiandaly ondatio ambaneko eo,
48 O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.
Haha’e amo rafelahikoo iraho, toe onjone’o ambone’ o mpitroatse amakoo, vaho avotso’o am’ ondaty mitrotrofiakeo.
49 Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.
Aa le handriañeko amo fifeheañeo irehe ry Iehovà; vaho ho saboeko ty Tahina’o.
50 Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
Ra’elahy ty fandrombahañe atolo’e amy mpanjaka’ey; vaho iferenaiña’e i noriza’ey, i Davide naho i tarira’ey nainai’e donia.
