Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue me.
Tretrezo iraho ry Andrianañahare; fa lialia’ ondatio; forekeke’e amañ’aly handro am-pohatse.
2 My enemies harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
Te handialia ahy lomoñandro o mivoñoñ’ ahikoo; amy te maro ty mifandrava amako, ry Andindimoneñey.
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
Amy andro mampangebahebak’ ahy, Ihe ty hiatoako,
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
Aman’Andrianañahare —handrengeako o tsara’eo— fa iatoako t’i Andrianañahare, tsy ho hemban-draho; inoñe ty hanoe’ o nofotseo amako.
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
Embere’ iereo lomoñandro o fitoloñakoo; fikitrohan-draty avao ty ereñeren-tro’iareo.
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
Mifañosoñe iereo, mietake, mitinoñe ty liako; mandiñe hitsepake ty fiaiko.
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
Ty hatsivokara’ iareo—tsy hipoliotse. Aretsaho an-kaviñerañe ondatio, ry Andrianañahare.
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
Fa vinolili’o o firererereakoo; apoho an-jonjò’o ao o ranomasokoo; tsy amy boke’oy hao irezay?
9 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
Hitolike amy zao o rafelahikoo, amy andro kanjiekoy, Zao ty rendreko, te mpañimb’ ahy t’i Andrianañahare,
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
I Andrianañahare ro andrengeako o tsara’eo, Iehovà ro añonjonako o saontsi’eo.
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
I Andrianañahare ro fiatoako, tsy ho hemban-draho, inoñe ty hanoe’ ondaty amako.
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
Havahako o nifantàkoo, ry Andrianañahare; hañenga fañandriañañe ama’o.
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
Amy te vinotso’o ty fiaiko tsy hikenkañe; Eka! o tomboko tsy hitsikapy, ie hijelanjelañe añatrefan’Añahare eo an-kazavan-kaveloñe.
