2 Samuel 22
1 And David spake unto Yahweh, the words of this song, in the day when Yahweh had rescued him, out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
Ary Davida nanao izao fihirana izao ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tànan’ i Saoly,
2 and he said, —Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer—mine;
ka hoy izy: Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy,
3 My God, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, —My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, My Saviour! from violence, thou didst save me.
Andriamanitra vatolampiko, Izy no ialofako, Ampingako sy tandroko famonjena Izy ary fiarovana avo ho ahy sy fandosirako; Ry Mpamonjy ahy, mahafaka ahy amin’ ny fampahoriana Hianao.
4 As one worthy to be praised, called I on Yahweh, —And, from my foes, was I saved.
Miantso an’ i Jehovah Izay mendrika hoderaina aho, Ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
5 When the breakers of death had encompassed me, —the torrents of perdition, made me afraid, —
Fa nihodidina tamiko ny onjan’ ny fahafatesana. Ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko, nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress, called I on Yahweh, Yea, unto my God, did I call, —and he hearkened, out of his temple, unto my voice, and, my cry for help, was in 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 dia efa tonga eo an-tsofiny.
8 Then did the earth shake and quake, the foundations of the heavens, were deeply moved, —yea they did shake, because he was angry,
Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fiorenan’ ny lanitra nihorohoro, eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
9 There went up a smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, —live coals, were kindled from it:
Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
10 Then he stretched out the heavens, and came down, —and, thick gloom, was under his feet;
Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; Ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
11 Then he rode on a cherub, and flew, —and was seen on the wings of the wind;
Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina, eny, niseho teo amin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
12 And made of the darkness around him, pavilions, —gathering of waters, clouds of vapours.
Efa nanao ny maizina ho tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia fivorian-drano sy rahona matevina
13 Out of the brightness before him, were kindled live coals of fire;
Ary avy teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany nisy vainafo nidedadeda.
14 Thunder from the heavens, did Yahweh give forth, —yea, the Highest, uttered his voice;
Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo.
15 And he sent forth arrows, and scattered them, —lightning, and confused them;
Dia nandefa zana-tsipìka Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko, ary nampandeha helatra ka nampifanaritaka azy.
16 Then appeared the channels of the sea, were uncovered the foundations of the world, —at the rebuke of Yahweh, the blast of the breath of his nostrils;
Dia hita ny fitoeran-dranomasina, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany, noho ny teny mafy nataon’ i Jehovah, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavorony.
17 He sent from on high, he took me, —he drew me out of many waters;
Naninjitra ny tànany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy.
18 He rescued me from my foe, in his might, —from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:
Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny.
19 They confronted me, in the day of my necessity, —then became Yahweh my stay:
Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
20 And brought out, into a large place, even me, —he delivered me, because he delighted in me:
Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
21 Yahweh rewarded me, according to my righteousness—according to the cleanness of my hands, he repaid me:
Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; Araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
22 For I had kept the ways of Yahweh, —and not broken away from my God;
Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
23 For, all his regulations, were before me, —and, as for his statutes, I turned not from them.
Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nialako;
24 So became I blameless towards him, —and kept myself from mine iniquity:
Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
25 Yahweh therefore repaid me, according to my righteousness, —according to my pureness before his eyes.
Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovako teo imasony.
26 With the loving, thou didst show thyself loving, —with the blameless hero, thou didst show thyself blameless;
Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; Ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
27 With the pure, thou didst show thyself pure, —but, with the perverse, thou didst shew thyself ready to contend:
Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; Ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
28 And, a patient people, thou didst save, —but, thine eyes, were on the lofty—thou layedst them low;
Fa ny olona ory dia vonjenao; Fa ny masonao manandrina ny mpiavonavona, ka aetrinao ireny.
29 For, thou, wast my lamp, O Yahweh, —and, Yahweh, enlightened my darkness;
Fa Hianao no jiroko, Jehovah ô; Jehovah mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
30 For, by thee, I ran through a troop, —by my God, I leapt over a wall.
Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; Ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
31 As for God, blameless is his way, —the speech of Yahweh, hath been proved, a shield, he is to all who seek 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.
32 For who is a GOD, save Yahweh? and who a Rock, save our God?
Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? Ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
33 GOD, is my fortress of strength, —and shewed to the blameless his way;
Izany Andriamanitra izany no fiarovana mafy ho ahy; Mitondra ny marina amin’ ny lalany Izy.
34 Planting my feet like the hinds’, —yea, on my high places, he caused me to stand;
Ary manao ny tongony ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy; Mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo Izy.
35 Teaching my hands, to war, —so that a bow of bronze was bent by mine arms;
Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
36 Thus didst thou grant me, as a shield, thy salvation, —and, thy condescension, made me great.
Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; Ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
37 Thou didst widen my stepping-places, under me, —so that mine ankles faltered not:
Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
38 I pursued my foes, and destroyed them, —and returned not, till they were consumed;
Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mandripaka azy; Ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalany ritrany.
39 So I consumed them, and crushed them, and they rose not again, —thus fell they under my feet:
Mandringana sy mandripaka azy aho, ka tsy maharina izy; Lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
40 Thus didst thou gird me with strength, for the battle, —thou subduedst mine assailants under me:
Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; Aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
41 And, as for my foes, thou didst give me their neck, —yea, them who hated me, that I might destroy them:
Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; Ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
42 They cried out, but there was none to save, —unto Yahweh, but he answered them not.
Miherikerika izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, eny, maniry an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
43 Then did I beat them in pieces, like the dust of the earth, —like the clay of the lanes, did I crush them, stamp them down.
Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovo-tany izy; Hoseko tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana izy ka apariako.
44 Thus didst thou rescue me from the contentions of my people, didst keep me to be the head of nations: —a people whom I had not known, served me;
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny oloko Hianao sy miaro ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
45 The sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me, —at the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, —
Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy; Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy.
46 The sons of the foreigner, were disheartened, and came quaking, out of their fortresses.
Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
47 Yahweh liveth, and blessed be my rock, —and exalted be the God (of the rock) of my salvation: —
Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; Asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny vatolampy famonjena ahy,
48 The GOD who hath avenged me, and brought down peoples under me;
Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy,
49 And brought me forth from among my foes, —yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, from the man of violence, hast thou delivered me.
Dia Ilay mitondra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe;
50 For this cause, will I praise thee, O Yahweh, among the nations, —and, to thy name, will I touch the strings: —
Koa Izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
51 Who hath made great the victories of his King, —and shown lovingkindness to his Anointed One, to David and to his Seed, unto times age-abiding.
Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
