Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

Ihe, ry Iehovà ro kanjieko, ry Lamilamiko, ko mañovok’ ahy, kera, hianjiñe, le hanahake o mizotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’aoo iraho.

2 Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.

Janjiño ty feon-kalaliko naho itoreovako, ie añonjonako sirañe mb’amy anjomba’o miavakey.

3 Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evils are in their hearts.

Ko kororohe’o hitraok’ amo lo-tserekeo, amo mpanao raty mivolan-kanitsiñe an-drañe’eo, te mone fikinian-­draty ty am-po’e ao.

4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.

Ondroho mira amo sata’eo, naho hambañe ami’ty haratia’ o fitoloña’eo; eka, avaho mira amo satan-taña’eo; valeo ama’e ty mañeva.

5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.

Amy te tsy haoñe’ iareo o tolon-draha’ Iehovào, ndra o fitoloñam-pità’eo. ho rotsahe’e iereo, le tsy hatroa’e ka.

6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.

Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, fa jinanji’e ty feon-kalaliko!

7 The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

Iehovà ro haozarako naho fikalako, ty fiatoa’ ty troko, toe fa nimbaen-draho, aa le irebeha’ ty troko vaho rengèko an-tsabo.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

Haozara’iareo t’Iehovà, kijolim-pandrombahañe i noriza’ey.

9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.

Rombaho ondati’oo, naho ampanintsiño o lova’oo; Araho iereo vaho otroño nainai’e.
