Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
Maskila nataon’ i Asafa.
2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
Tsarovy ny fiangonanao izay efa azonao fahiny, ilay navotanao ho firenena lovanao, dia ny tendrom-bohitra Ziona izay nonenanao.
3 Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Aingao ny tongotrao, ka miakara ho amin’ ny voarava mandrakizay; ny zavatra rehetra tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna dia simban’ ny fahavalo avokoa.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
Nierona tao anatin’ ny fiangonanao ny mpandrafy anao; nanangana ny sainany ho famantarana izy.
5 It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
Ny fijery azy dia tahaka ny olona manainga famaky hijinja ny ala mikitroka;
6 And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
Ary amin’ izao ny rafitra misoratra rehetra ao dia asiany ny famaky sy ny kanonta.
7 They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
Efa nandoro ny fitoeranao masìna tamin’ ny afo izy; nolotoiny sy nazerany tamin’ ny tany ny fonenan’ ny anaranao.
8 They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Hoy izy tam-pony: aoka hampahorintsika avokoa izy. Efa nandoro ny tranon’ Andriamanitra eran’ ny tany rehetra izy.
9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Tsy hitanay ny famantaranay tsy misy mpaminany intsony ary tsy misy aminay mahalala izay mbola haharetan’ izao.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
Mandra-pahoviana, Andriamanitra ô, no hanaratsian’ ny mpandrafy? Hanamavo ny anaranao mandrakizay va ny fahavalo?
11 Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
Nahoana no mampihemotra ny tananao, dia ny tananao ankavanana, Hianao? mampialà azy amin’ ny tratranao, ka mandringàna.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Fa Andriamanitra no Mpanjakako hatrizay hatrizay; manao famonjena eny amin’ ny tany Izy.
13 Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Nampisaraka ny ranomasina tamin’ ny herinao Hianao; efa namakivaky ny lohan’ ny dragona tao anaty rano Hianao.
14 Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
Hianao nanorotoro ny lohan’ ny mamba ka nanome azy hohanin’ izay firenena any an-efitra.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
Hianao namaky ny vatolampy hamoaka loharano sy ony; Hianao nahatankina ny ony tsy mety ritra.
16 Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
Anao ny andro, Anao koa ny alina; Hianao namboatra ny fanazavana, indrindra fa ny masoandro.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
Hianao nametra ny faritry ny tany rehetra; ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, dia Hianao no nanao azy.
18 Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
Tsarovy izao: Manaratsy an’ i Jehovah ny fahavalo, ary ny olona adala manamavo ny anaranao.
19 O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
Aza manolotra ny ain’ ny voromailalanao ho an’ ny bibi-dia; ary aza manadino mandrakizay ny ain’ ny olo-mahantranao.
20 Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Hevero ny fanekena; fa feno fonenan’ ny fandozana ny fitoera-maizina amin’ ny tany.
21 O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
Aoka tsy hiverina amin-kenatra ny mahantra; aoka ny ory sy ny malahelo hidera ny anaranao.
22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
Mitsangàna, Andriamanitra ô, efao ny adinao; tsarovy ny fanaratsian’ ny adala Anao isan’ andro.
23 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
Aza manadino ny feon’ ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban’ ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.
