Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Alaieleth-hasahara. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitro ô, nahoana no dia mahafoy ahy Hianao? Lavitra ny famonjena ahy ny tenin’ ny fitarainako.
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
Andriamanitro ô, miantso aho nony andro, nefa tsy mamaly Hianao; ary nony alina, nefa tsy mahita fiononana aho.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Kanefa masìna Hianao, Ry mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny fideran’ ny Isiraely.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Hianao no nitokian’ ny razanay; Natoky izy, ka namonjy azy Hianao.
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Hianao no nitarainany, ka afaka izy; Hianao no nitokiany, ka tsy menatra izy.
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Ary izaho dia olitra, fa tsy olona, fandatsan’ olona sy fanevatevam-bahoaka.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Izay rehetra mahita ahy dia manaraby ahy; manondro molotra izy sady mihifikifi-doha ka manao hoe:
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
Ankino amin’ i Jehovah, dia aoka Izy hamonjy azy; eny, aoka Izy hanafaka azy, raha mankasitraka azy Izy.
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Fa Hianao no nampivoaka ahy avy tao an-kibo; nampandry ahy fahizay ianao, fony aho mbola nampinonoin’ ny reniko;
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
Nankinina taminao hatrany am-bohoka aho; hatrany an-kibon-dreniko dia Andriamanitro Hianao.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Aza manalavitra ahy Hianao, fa akaiky ny fahoriana, sady tsy misy mpamonjy.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
Mitangorona amiko ireo ombilahy be, ny maherin’ i Basana manemitra ahy.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
Misanasana vava amiko izy; eny, liona mamiravira sy mierona izy.
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
Efa rano aidina aho, ka mivaha ny taolako rehetra; tahaka ny savoka ny foko: miempo ato anatiko izy.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Maina tahaka ny tavim-bilany ny heriko, ary ny lelako miraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniko; ao amin’ ny vovoky ny fahafatesana no ametrahanao ahy.
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Fa mitangorona amiko ny amboa, ny fiangonan’ ny ratsy fanahy manemitra ahy. Manindrona ny tongotro aman-tanako izy
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
Mahisa ny taolako rehetra aho ireo dia mibanjina sady mangarika ahy.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Mizara ny fitafiako ho azy izy; ary ny akanjoko ilokàny.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, aza manalavitra; ry Heriko ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Vonjeo amin’ ny sabatra ny fanahiko, dia ny hany malalako amin’ ny herin’ ny amboa.
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
Vonjeo amin’ ny vavan’ ny liona aho; ary valio ho afaka amin’ ny tandroky ny ombimanga.
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
Hitory ny anaranao amin’ ny rahalahiko aho; eo amin’ ny fiangonana no hideràko Anao.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, miderà Azy; ry taranak’ i Jakoba rehetra, manomeza voninahitra Azy; ary matahora Azy, ry Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
Fa tsy manao tsinontsinona na marikorikon’ ny fahorian’ ny ory Izy, ary tsy mba manafina ny tavany aminy; fa raha mitaraina aminy ireny, dia mihaino Izy.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Avy aminao no ahazoako manao fiderana eo amin’ ny fiangonan-dehibe; ny voadiko dia hefaiko eo anatrehan’ izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah.
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
Hihinana ny mpandefitra ka ho voky; hidera an’ i Jehovah izay mitady azy; ho velona mandrakizay anie ny fonareo.
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
Hahatsiaro ka hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah ny faran’ ny tany rehetra; ary hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny fokon’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Fa an’ i Jehovah ny fanjakana; ary manapaka amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa Izy.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
Hihinana sy hiankohoka ny mpanefoefo rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, eo anatrehany no hiondrehan’ izay rehetra efa hidina any amin’ ny vovoka ka tsy mahavelona ny ainy.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
Hisy taranaka hanompo Azy; ary ny Tompo dia holazaina amin’ ny taranaka ho avy.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
Hisy ho avy ka hanambara ny fahamarinany, amin’ ny olona izay mbola hateraka, fa Izy no nanao izany.
