Psalms 18
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ity fihirana ity tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ i Saoly; dia hoy izy: ―
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.
3 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
4 The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.
7 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
8 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
10 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
11 He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
12 At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
15 And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao.
16 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
17 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
22 For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
23 And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
25 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
26 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
27 For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
28 For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
29 For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
31 For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
34 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
35 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
38 I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
39 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
45 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
46 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe.
49 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
50 Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
