Psalms 44
1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work You worked in their days, In the days of old.
Ry Andrianañahare, fa jinanjin-dravembia’ay, fa natalilin-droae’ay o fitoloñañe nanoe’o tañ’ andro’ iereoo, amo andro faha’ matoetoeo.
2 You, [with] Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.
Ie am-pità’o ty nandroake o fifeheañeo le najado’o eo; dinemo’o ondatio, vaho naparatsia’o.
3 For they did not possess the land by their sword, And their arm did not give salvation to them, But Your right hand, and Your arm, And the light of Your countenance, Because You had accepted them.
Tsy ty fibara’ iareo ty nahazoañe i taney; le tsy o fità’ iareoo ty naharombake, fa ty fità’o havana naho ty sira’o, vaho ty hazavan-dahara’o amy t’ie nisohe’o.
4 You [are] He, my King, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
Mpanjakako irehe, ry Andrianañahare; lilio fandrombahañe t’Iakobe.
5 By You we push our adversaries, By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,
Ihe ro igorea’ay o rafelahi’aio; ty tahina’o ty andialià’ay o mitroatse hiatreatre anaio.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.
Tsy iatoako ty faleko, tsy maharombak’ ahy ty fibarako.
7 For You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those hating us.
Fa Ihe ro nandrombak’ anay amo rafelahi’aio, naho nanalatse o malaiñe anaio.
8 In God we have boasted all the day, And we thank Your Name for all time. (Selah)
I Andrianañahare ro firengea’ay lomoñandro, vaho andriañe’ay nainai’e ty tahina’o. Selà
9 In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, And do not go forth with our hosts.
F’ie nifarie’o henaneo, naho ninje’o; tsy indreze’o fionjonañe o lahindefo’aio.
10 You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
Ampiambohoe’o amo rafelahi’aio, vaho mamaok’ an-tsatri’e avao o malaiñe anaio,
11 You make us food like sheep, And You have scattered us among nations.
Fa natolo’o ho añondry kamaeñe, vaho nampivarakaihe’o amo fifeheañeo.
12 You sell Your people—without wealth, And have not become great by their price.
Naleta’o ami’ty minjilite’e ondati’oo, tsy nahazoan-tombo’e t’ie naletake.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
Nampañinje’o o mpifankarineo, fanivetiveañe naho fandrabioñañe amo mañohok’ anaio.
14 You make us an allegory among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
Anoe’o oha-drehake o fifeheañeo, fikoliñan-doha am’ondatio.
15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face has covered me.
Fañinjeañe lomoñandro ty aoloko eo, vaho nampikolopok’ ahy ty hameñaran-tareheko,
16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
ami’ty fivola’ o mikobìke naho mamàtseo; ty amy fiatrefan-drafelahiy vaho i mpamale-fatey.
17 All this met us, and we did not forget You, Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.
Toe hene nifetsak’ ama’ay, f’ie tsy nañaliño Azo, vaho tsy nivalik’ amy fañina’oy.
18 We do not turn our heart backward, Nor turn aside our step from Your path.
Toe tsy niamboho Azo o arofo’aio, vaho tsy niveve amy lala’oy o fandia’aio,
19 But You have struck us in a place of dragons, And cover us over with death-shade.
f’ie dinemo’o an-toem-panalok’ eo, vaho kinolopo’o an-talinjon-kavilasy.
20 If we have forgotten the Name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
Aa naho nandikofa’ay ty tahinan’Añahare’ay, ke namela-pitàñe aman-drahare ankafankafa;
21 Does God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
Tsy ho nitsikarahen’ Añahare hao? Kanao arofoana’e ze mikafitse an-trok’ao.
22 Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
Eka, Ihe ro anjamanañe anay handro am-pohatse; volilieñe hoe añondry ho lentañe.
23 Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.
Mivañona, ry Talè, Ino ty irota’o? Mitsekafa, ko farie’o kitro katroke zahay.
24 Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,
Akore ty ampietaha’o laharañe, naho añaliñoa’o ty hasotria’ay vaho ty halovilovia’ay?
25 For our soul has bowed to the dust, Our belly has cleaved to the earth.
Fa mibokok’ an-debok’ ao ty fiai’ay; mipitek’ an-tane eo ty fisafoa’ay.
26 Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
Miongaha hañolotse anay, vaho jebaño ty amy fiferenaiña’oy.
