Psalms 41

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Sambatra izay mahatsiaro ny malahelo; Jehovah hamonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana.

2 May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

Jehovah hitandrina sy hiaro azy tsy ho faty; hatao ho sambatra ambonin’ ny tany izy, ary tsy mba hatolotrao amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny fahavalony.

3 May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.

Jehovah hanohana azy eo ambonin’ ny farafara hitsaboana azy. Ny fandriany rehetra eo am-paharariany dia hovanao.

4 I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

Hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko; sitrano ny fanahiko, fa efa nanota taminao aho.

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

Ny fahavaloko maniry ahy ho simba ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho faty izy, ka ho very ny anarany?

6 And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

Ary raha avy mamangy, izy dia miteny zava-poana; ny fony mamory faharatsiana ho an’ ny tenany; mivoaka eny ivelany izy ka milazalaza.

7 All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

Mitakoritsika ahy izay rehetra mankahala ahy; misaina hanisy ratsy ahy izy.

8 They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

Tena zava-dratsy, hoy izy, no aidina aminy; ary raha mandry izy dia tsy hitsangana intsony.

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

Eny, ny sakaizako, izay maha-toky ahy sady nihinana ny haniko, no nanangana ny ombelahin-tongony hamely ahy.

10 But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

Fa ianao kosa Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka atsangano aho mba hamaliako azy.

11 By this I know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

Izao no hahafantarako fa mankasitraka ahy Hianao, dia ny tsy anakoran’ ny fahavaloko ahy.

12 But you did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.

Ary ny amiko, dia manohana ahy amin’ ny fahitsiako Hianao, ka mampitoetra ahy eo anatrehanao mandrakizay.

13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.

Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin’ ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.
