< Psalms 27 >
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Nataon’ i Davida.
2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Raha manatona ahy hihinana ny nofoko ny ratsy fanahy, izay fahavaloko sy rafilahiko, dia izy ihany no tafintohina ka lavo.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.
Na dia misy antokony mitoby hiady amiko aza, tsy hatahotra ny foko; na dia misy ady mihatra amiko aza, dia hatoky ihany aho.
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.
Zavatra iray loha no nangatahiko tamin’ i Jehovah, izany no hotadiaviko, dia ny hitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako, mba ho faly mijery ny fahasoavan’ i Jehovah sy mandinika ny tempoliny.
5 For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.
Fa hanafina ahy ao an-trano fialofany amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy; hampiery ahy amin’ ny fierena ao an-dainy Izy; hanandratra ahy ho eny ambony vatolampy Izy.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Koa dia hisandratra ambonin’ ny fahavaloko manodidina ahy ny lohako, ka hanatitra fanatitra hihobiana ao an-dainy aho; hihira sy hankalaza an’ i Jehovah aho.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, fa mitaraina mafy aho; ary mamindrà fo amiko, ka valio aho.
8 In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Raha hoy Hianao: tadiavonareo ny tavako, dia hoy ny navalin’ ny foko: Eny, ny tavanao no tadiaviko, Jehovah ô;
9 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Aza manafina ny tavanao amiko, aza mandroaka ny mpanomponao an-katezerana; efa famonjena ahy Hianao; aza manary na mahafoy ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy.
10 For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.
Fa ny raiko aman-dreniko efa nahafoy ahy; fa Jehovah kosa no mandray ahy.
11 Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.
Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô; ary tariho amin’ ny lalana marina aho noho ny fahavaloko.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
Aza manolotra ahy ho amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny mpampahory ahy; fa vavolombelona mandainga sy izay mifofofofo loza no mitsangana hiampanga ahy.
13 If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! —
Raha izay re aho no tsy nanantena hahita ny fahasoavan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona.
14 Wait on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.
Miandrasa an’ i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an’ i Jehovah.
