Psalms 18
1 [For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of YHWH, who spoke to YHWH the words of this song in the day that YHWH delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, ] I love you, YHWH, my strength.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ity fihirana ity tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ i Saoly; dia hoy izy: ―
2 YHWH is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.
3 I call on YHWH, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
4 The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon YHWH, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
13 YHWH also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
14 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
15 And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, YHWH, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao.
16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but YHWH was my support.
Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
20 YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
21 For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
24 Therefore YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
25 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
26 With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
27 For you will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
28 For you light my lamp. YHWH my God lights up my darkness.
Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of YHWH is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
31 For who is God, except YHWH? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
32 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
33 He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.
Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
38 I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
39 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even to YHWH, but he did not answer them.
Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
42 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
45 they are not bound in chains.
Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
46 YHWH lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe.
49 Therefore I will praise you, YHWH, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
