Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

Fihirana fiakarana.

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

Mafy no nampahoriany ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; Nefa tsy naharesy ahy izy.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Ny mpiasa dia niasa ny lamosiko; Efa nanalava ny vavasany izy.

4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Marina Jehovah: Efa nanapaka ny famatorana nataon’ ny ratsy fanahy Izy.

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Aoka ho menatra sy hiamboho Izay rehetra mandrafy an’ i Ziona

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

Ka ho tahaka ny ahitra eo an-tampon-trano. Izay malazo, na dia tsy misy manongotra azy aza;

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

Tsy misy mpijinja mameno tanana Na mpamehy amboara mameno tratra amin’ izany;

8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

Ka dia tsy hisy mpandalo hanao hoe: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ianareo; Eny, ny anaran’ i Jehovah no itsofanay rano anareo.
