Psalms 55
1 God, listen to my prayer, and do not turn away from me while I am pleading with you.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Mihainoa ny fivavako, Andriamanitra ô, ary aza miery amin’ ny fitarainako.
2 Listen to me, and answer me, because I am overwhelmed by [all] my troubles.
Henoy aho, ka valio; miriorio ny eritreritro, ka mitoloko aho,
3 My enemies cause me to be terrified; wicked people oppress me. They cause me to have great troubles; they are angry with me, and they hate me.
Noho ny feon’ ny fahavalo sy ny fampahorian’ ny ratsy fanahy; fa mampianjera loza amiko ireny, ary amin’ ny fahatezerana no ankahalany ahy.
4 I am terrified, and I am very much afraid that I will die.
Mangorohoro ato anatiko ny foko, ary mamely ahy ny tahotra ny fahafatesana.
5 I am very fearful and I tremble/shake, and I am completely terrified.
Tahotra sy hovitra no mahazo ahy, ary manafotra ahy ny horohoro.
6 I said, “I wish that I had wings like a dove! If I had wings, I would fly away and find a place to rest.
Ka hoy izaho: enga anie ka manana elatra tahaka ny voromailala aho, dia handositra aho ka hahita izay hitoerako;
7 I would fly far away and live in the desert.
Eny, handositra lavitra aho ka hitoetra any an-efitra. (Sela)
8 I would quickly find a shelter from [my enemies] [who are like] [MET] a strong wind and rainstorm.”
Handeha faingana aho hamonjy fialofana, mba tsy ho azon’ ny tafio-drivotra sy ny ranonoram-baratra.
9 Lord, confuse my enemies, and cause their plans to fail, because I see them acting violently and causing strife in the city [of Jerusalem].
Aringano izy, ary akoroy ny fiteniny, Tompo ô; fa mahita loza sy ady ao an-tanàna aho.
10 During [each] day and night they march around on top of its walls, committing crimes and causing trouble.
Hodidininy andro aman’ alina eny ambonin ny mandany io; ary heloka sy fampahoriana no ao aminy;
11 They destroy [things] everywhere. They oppress and defraud [people] in the (marketplaces/public squares).
Ratsy no ao anatiny; ary ny fitaka sy ny fanangolena tsy mba miala amin’ ny lalàmbeny.
12 If it were an enemy who was making fun of me, I could endure it. If it were someone who hates me, who despises me, I could hide from him.
Fa tsy fahavalo no nanaratsy ahy, ― fa raha izany, dia niaritra ihany aho; tsy olona nankahala ahy no nanandra-tena namely ahy, fa raha izany, dia niery azy aho;
13 But it is someone who is just like me, my companion, someone who was my friend [who is doing this to me].
Fa ianao, lehilahy mitovy saranga amiko, namako sy sakaizako indrindra,
14 We previously had many good talks together; we walked around together in God’s temple.
Dia isika izay nifankamamy resaka ka niara-nandeha tamin’ ny maro ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra.
15 I desire/hope that my enemies will die suddenly; while they are still young, cause them to go down to the place where the dead people are. They they think evil things. (Sheol h7585)
Aoka hanampoka azy ny fahafatesana. Aoka hidina velona any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy; fa ratsy no ao amin’ ny fonenany, dia ao afovoany. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I [will] ask Yahweh, [my] God, to help me, and he will save me.
Raha izaho, dia Andriamanitra no hantsoiko; ary Jehovah no hamonjy ahy.
17 [Each] morning and [each] noontime and [each] evening I tell him what I am concerned about, and I moan, and he hears my voice.
Hariva sy maraina ary mitatao vovonana no hitarainako sy hitolokoako; dia hihaino ny feoko Izy,
18 I have [very] many enemies, but he will rescue me and bring me back safely from the battles that I fight.
Ka hanavotra ny fanahiko ho amin’ ny fiadanana hahafahako amin’ ny adin’ ireny amiko, fa maro no miady amiko.
19 God is the one who has ruled everything forever, and he will listen to me. He will cause my enemies to be [defeated and] disgraced, because they do not change their evil behavior and they do not revere God.
Hihaino Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka hatramin’ ny taloha, (Sela) ka hamaly ireo olona tsy miova toetra, sady tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra.
20 My companion, [whom I mentioned previously], betrayed his friends and broke the agreement that he made with them.
Efa naninjitra ny tànany hamely izay nihavana taminy izy; namadika ny fanekeny izy.
21 What he said was [easy to listen to, like] butter [is easy to swallow] [MET], but in his inner being he hated people; his words were [soothing] like [olive] oil, [but they hurt people like] sharp swords do [MET].
Malambo noho ny rononomandry ny vavany, kanjo ady no ao am-pony; malemy noho ny diloilo ny teniny, kanjo sabatra voatsoaka ireny.
22 Put your troubles in Yahweh’s hands, and he will take care of you; he will never allow righteous [people] to experience disasters.
Apetraho amin’ i Jehovah ny entanao, ary Izy no hanohana anao; tsy havelany hangozohozo mandrakizay ny marina.
23 God, you will cause murderers [MTY] and liars to die before they have lived half as long as they expect to live; but [as for me], I will trust in you.
Fa Hianao, Andriamanitra ô, no hampidina ireo any an-davaka fanimbana; ny mpandatsa-drà sy mpamitaka tsy hahatratra ny an-tsasaky ny androny; fa izaho kosa dia hatoky Anao.
