Psalms 40
1 I waited patiently for Yahweh [to help me], and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.
Nitamàko am-pahaliñisañe t’Iehovà, le nitokilaña’e, vaho jinanji’e ty fitoreoko.
2 [When I had many troubles, it was as though] I was in a deep pit. But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit; he set my feet on a [solid] rock, and enabled me to walk (safely/without falling).
Naaka’e an-koboñe namparikoriko, naho boak’ an-dietse nipaletroke, vaho nampitongoà’e ambone lamilamy eo o tombokoo; le nalaha’e o liakoo.
3 He has given me a new song to sing, a song to praise him who is our God. Many people will find out [what he has done for me], and they will revere and trust him.
Napo’e am-bavako ao ty sabo vao, fijejoañe aman’Añaharen-tikañe; maro ty hahaoniñe le hañeveñe, vaho hitsolok’ am’ Iehovà.
4 Yahweh is pleased with those who trust him, those who do not trust in idols or join with those who worship those false gods.
Haha ty manao Iehovà ho fiatoa’e, naho tsy mitolike mb’amo mpirengevokeo, vaho tsy mitsile mb’an-dremborake.
5 O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things! No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us. If I tried to tell [others] about all those wonderful things, I would not be able to, because there would be too many for me to mention.
Maro, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, o fitoloña’o fanjàkao, naho ty fivetsevetse’o anay, tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe Azo! Naho nitaroñeko naho nilañoneko, mbe mandikoatse ze mete ho talilieñe.
6 Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the [only] things that delight you. You have enabled me to understand that very well [IDM]. [Animals] burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings are not all that you require [for sins to be forgiven].
Tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo naho o enga-mahakamao; sinoka’o o sofikoo; tsy nipaia’o ty engan-kolorañe ndra ty engan-kakeo.
7 So I said [to you], “Yahweh, here I am, [to do] the things that have been written in the scroll [that contains your laws], things that you want me [to do].”
Le hoe raho: Intoy iraho, homb’eo, fa nisokireñe am-boke-pelek’ ao;
8 O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I [keep] your laws within my inner being.
Noko, ry Andrianañahareko, ty mitoloñe amo satrin’arofo’oo; eka, an-troko ato o Tsara’oo.
9 Whenever all [your people] are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.
Fa nitaroneko am-pivori-bey ao ty talily soan-kavantañañe; tsy ho sebañeko o soñikoo, ry Iehovà, Ihe ro maharofoanañe.
10 And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together [to worship you in the temple], I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have (not concealed/openly told people) that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.
Tsy naetako an-troko ao ty havantaña’o; fa nitaroñeko ty figahiña’o naho ty fandrombaha’o; vaho tsy nakafiko amy fivori-beiy ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
11 Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love [me] [PRS] and are loyal [to me], always protect me.
Ry Iehovà ko hazoñeñ’ amako ty fitretreza’o; añaro ahy nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
12 I have many troubles; [so many that] I cannot count them. My sins are like a flood that has covered me [PRS, MET]; [they are so many that] I cannot find my way. The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head. I am very discouraged.
Miarikoboñe ahy ty haratiañe tsifotofoto; miambotrak’ amako o hakeokoo, le tsy mahafiandra, ie maro te amo volon-dohakoo, vaho milesa ty troko.
13 O Yahweh, please save me! Come quickly to help me!
Ho no’o abey ry Iehovà ty hamotsotse ahy; malisà ry Iehovà hañolotse ahy,
14 Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced and ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.
Le aharò salareñe naho meñareñe o mipay ty fiaiko hasintake; ampiamboho vaho injeo o te hijoy ahio.
15 I hope/desire that those who make fun of me will be dismayed when you defeat them.
Ehe ampidabao an-kenatse ze manao amako ty hoe: Hiy! Hiy!
16 But I hope that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly, “Yahweh is great!”
Hirebeke naho hifale ze mipay Azo, vaho hitolon-kanao ty hoe o mpitea i fandrombaha’oio: Onjoneñe t’Iehovà. 17 Aa kanao rarake naho misotry iraho, ee t’ie ho vetsevetse’ i Talè; Ihe ro mpañimba naho mpañaha ahy, ry Andrianañahareko; ko mihenekeneke.
17 As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; but [I know that] Yahweh has not forgotten me. O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me, so please come quickly [and help me!]
