Psalms 27
1 A psalm of David. Yahweh is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? Yahweh is my life's refuge; whom should I dread?
Hazavàko naho fandrombahako t’Iehovà, ia ty ihembañako? Fipaliram-piaiko t’Iehovà, ia ty hirevendreveñako?
2 When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies stumbled and fell.
Ie niambotrak’ amako o lo-tserekeo hampibotseke o nofokoo; le nitsikapy vaho nikorovoke o malaiñ’ahio naho o rafelahikoo.
3 Though an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear; though war rises up against me, even then I will remain confident.
Ndra te hitobe hiatreatre ahy ty firimboñañe, tsy ho vorombeloñe ty troko; ndra te hitroatse amako ty hotakotake, mbe hitam-patokisañe.
4 One thing have I asked of Yahweh, and I will seek that: that I may live in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see the beauty of Yahweh and to meditate in his temple.
Raha raike ty nihalalieko am’ Iehovà, izay ty ho paiaeko: ty hitobohako añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao ze hene andro ivelomako, hahatrea ty hasoa-vinta’ Iehovà, vaho hañontàne añ’akiba’e ao.
5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his shelter; in the cover of his tent he will conceal me. He will lift me high on a rock!
Ampipalira’e an-kijà’e ao t’ie an-tsam-poheke, akafi’e am-poreforetan-Kivoho’e ao; ampitongoa’e andigiligin-damilamy eo.
6 Then my head will be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent! I will sing and make songs to Yahweh!
Aa le honjoneñ’ ambone’ o rafelahiko miariseho ahio ty lohako. vaho ho banabanako soroñe an-drebeke mb’an-kivoho’e ao; ho saboako, eka ho rengèko an-tsabo t’Iehovà.
7 Hear, Yahweh, my voice when I cry out! Have mercy on me, and answer me!
Janjiño ry Iehovà, naho ikaihako am-peo! Iferenaiño vaho toiño.
8 My heart says about you, “Seek his face!” I seek your face, Yahweh!
Nitaroñe’o ami’ty foko ty hoe: Paiao ty tareheko; toe ho tsoeheko ty vinta’o, ry Iehovà.
9 Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger! You have been my helper; do not forsake me or abandon me, God of my salvation!
Ko aetak’ amako ty lahara’o; ko apo’o an-kaviñerañe ty mpitoro’o, Ihe mpañolotse ahy; le ko aitoa’o, naho ko farie’o ry Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko.
10 Even if my father and my mother forsake me, Yahweh will take me in.
Ndra t’ie nadon-drae naho rene, ho rambese’ Iehovà.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh! Lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Anaro ahy ty lala’o, ry Iehovà vaho tehafo mb’an-dalañe mira ty amo rafelahikoo.
12 Do not give me up to the desires of my enemies, for false witnesses have risen up against me, and they breathe out violence!
Ko asese’o an-tsatri’ o malaiñ’ ahio; fa atretréo o mpanara vandeo, naho o mikofòke hasiahañeo.
13 What would have happened to me if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living?
Hete! atokisako te ho treako an-tanen-kaveloñe ao ty hasoa’ Iehovà—
14 Wait for Yahweh; be strong, and let your heart be courageous! Wait for Yahweh!
Itamao t’Iehovà, mihaozara, le mihafatrara arofo; eka, liñiso t’Iehovà.
