Psalms 59
1 God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Miktama nataon’ i Davida, fony Saoly naniraka, ka nisy niambina ny trano hamonoana azy. Afaho amin’ ny fahavaloko aho, Andriamanitro ô; asondroty eo amin’ ny avo aho tsy ho azon’ izay miodina amiko.
2 Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
Afaho amin’ ny mpanao ratsy aho, ary vonjeo amin’ ny mpandatsa-drà.
3 Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
Fa, indro, manotrika hahazo ny aiko izy; miangona hanohitra ahy ny mahery, nefa tsy fahadisoako ary tsy fahotako, Jehovah ô.
4 It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
Tsy heloko no ihazakazahany sy iomanany, koa mifohaza hitsena ahy, ka jereo.
5 Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
Ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, mifohaza hitsara ny firenen-tsamy hafa; aza mamindra fo amin’ izay mpivadika ratsy fanahy. (Sela)
6 They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
Miverina nony hariva ireny ka mierona tahaka ny alika, sady mandehandeha eran’ ny tanàna.
7 They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
Indro, mirezadrezatra amin’ ny vavany izy; sabatra no eo amin’ ny molony, fa iza, hono, no handre?
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
Kanjo Hianao, Jehovah ô, hihomehy azy; Hianao haneso ny firenena rehetra.
9 God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
Koa noho ny herin’ ireny dia hiandry Anao aho; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy.
10 Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
Andriamanitra, Izay mamindra fo amiko, no hialoha ahy; hataon’ Andriamanitra faly mijery ny amin’ ny fahavaloko aho.
11 But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
Aza mahafaty azy Hianao, fandrao hanadino izany ny fireneko. Ampirenireneo amin’ ny herinao izy, ka aripaho, ry Tompo ô, Ampinganay.
12 Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
Ny fahotan’ ny vavany dia ny tenin’ ny molony; aoka hosamborina amin’ ny fireharehany izy, eny, noho ny ozona sy ny lainga ataony.
13 because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
Aringano an-katezerana izy, aringano mba tsy ho ao intsony; ary aoka ho fantany fa Andriamanitra no manapaka eo amin’ ny Jakoba ka hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany. (Sela)
14 My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
Ary miverina nony hariva ireny ka mierona tahaka ny alika, sady mandehandeha eran’ ny tanàna.
15 They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
Miriorio mitady hanina izy; raha tsy voky izy, dia any ihany mandritra ny alina.
16 But [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
Fa izaho kosa dia hihira ny herinao, ary hihoby ny famindram-ponao nony maraina, satria fiarovana avo ho ahy Hianao, ary fandosirako amin’ ny andro fahoriana.
17 God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
Ry Heriko ô, Hianao no hankalazaiko; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy, dia Andriamanitra Izay mamindra fo amiko.
