< Psalms 18 >

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Kokoako irehe ry Iehovà, haozarako.
2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.
Ry lamilamiko, kijoly fipalirako, naho mpañaha ahiko; r’Iehovà, ry tseram-bato fitsolohako, fikalan-defoko vaho tsifam-pandrombahañe ahiko, fitilik’ aboko t’i Andrianañahareko.
3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Kanjieko t’Iehovà, fa mañeva ho rengèñe; vaho votsotse amo rafelahikoo.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
Vinandibandi’ o vahen-kavilasio, le ho nandimpotse ahy ty fisorotombaha’ i Beliale;
5 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: the snares of death seized me. (Sheol h7585)
Namolonkoñe ahy o vaham-pihomahañeo, niatreatre ahy o fandrin-kavilasio. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears.
Nikoike Iehovà t’ie nalovilovy, nikaik’ imba aman’ Añahareko; jinanji’e an-kivoho’e ao ty feoko; vaho niheo añatrefa’e an-dravembia’e, ty toreoko.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
Niezeñezeñe vaho nihitikitike amy zao ty tane; niozoñozoñe naho nanginikinike ty faha’ o vohitseo amy fifombo’ey.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Niforoake hatoeñe o fiantsona’eo naho boak’ am-palie’e ao ty afo nahaforototo, nahasolebatse ty foroha.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet.
Nazè’e ka i likerañey vaho nizotso; ieñe mangonkòñe ty tambane’ o fandia’eo.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; yes, he flew upon the wings of the wind.
Niningira’e ty kerobe le nitiliñe; eka nibirirìñe añ’ela’ i tiokey.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
Nanoe’e fietahañe ty hamoromoroñañe; ho kibohotse hañohok’ aze, ty hangonkòn-drano, ty rahoñe migoboñe an-dikerañe ey.
12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
Niboroboñak’ amo rahoñe milodolodoo ty havandra naho foroha mirekake amy fireandreañe añatrefa’ey,
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
Nañàmpiñe an-dike­rañe ao t’Iehovà, nampipoña-piarañanañañe t’i Andindimoneñe; havandra gadaboñe naho foroha mirebareba.
14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
Nahì’e mb’eo o ana-pàle’eo, le nampivarakaihe’e; nampiriaria’e ty helatse vaho nampivalitsikotahe’e.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Niboak’ amy zao o kadahan-dranoo, nikorendake o faha’ ty tane toio, ami’ty fitrevo’o ry Iehovà, ami’ty fitorotosi’ ty kofòm-piantsona’o.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
Nirahe’e boak’añ’abo eñe, le rinambe’e iraho; sininto’e boak’ an-drano maro.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Rinomba’e amy rafelahiko maozatsey, amo malaiñe ahikoo, amy t’ie nifatratse te amako.
18 They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Natretré’ iereo amy andro naha-ampohek’ ahikoy, fe nañolots’ ahiko t’Iehovà.
19 He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Nampionjone’e mb’an-toetse mangadagadan-draho, hinaha’e amy te no’e.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Nanambe ahiko ami’ty havantañako t’Iehovà; ami’ty halio tañako ro nañavaha’e ahiko.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Amy te ambenako o lala’ Iehovào; vaho tsy mivik’ aman’Añahareko am-bodongeron-draho.
22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
Hene tañatrefako o taro’eo, le tsy nampisitaheko amako o fañè’eo.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
Tokan-tro ama’e iraho, vaho milie-batañe tsy hanao sida;
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Aa le tinambe’ Iehovà amy havañonakoy, ami’ty falio-tañako am-pivazohoa’e.
25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
Ami’ty mitretre ro iboaha’o ho mpiferenaiñe, ami’ty vañoñe ro iboaha’o ho vantañe,
26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
ami’ty mikanitsoke ro iboaha’o ho ki’e. vaho ami’ty mengoke ro iboaha’o ho minironiroke.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
Toe rombahe’o ty tretram-po, fe arè’o o maso mitahèbokeo.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Ihe ro mamiañe ty jiroko, mampazava o iekoo ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Ihe ro hañoridañako ty firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; mahavokon-jolok’ ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Aa naho i Andrianañahare! hiringiri’e ty lala’e, niventeañe o fepè’ Iehovào; Ie ty Mpañaro’ ze hene miato ama’e
31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God?
Ia t’i Andrianañahare naho tsy Iehovà? Ia ty lamilamy naho tsy i Andrianañaharen-tikañey?
32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
T’i Andrianañahare mpanìkiñe ahy an-kaozarañe, vaho mpamantañe ty liako.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places.
Ampanahafe’e amo tombom-panalokeo o tombokoo, avotra’e amo haboakoo.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
Aò’e hifandrapake o tañakoo, mahavohotse fale torisìke o sirakoo.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Natolo’o ahy ka ty fikalan-defom-pandrombaha’o; naho nanozañe ahy ty fitàn-kavana’o, nampionjoñe ahiko ty hamoran’ arofo’o.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
Nihalavae’o ty fandingàñako ambaneko eo, fe tsy nidorasitse o tombokoo.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
Nihoridañeko o rafelahikoo le nahatratse, tsy himpoly iraho naho tsy t’ie fonga rotsake.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet.
Ie tinomboko tsy hiongake ka, nikorovok’ ambane’ tomboko eo.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Fa nampidiañe’o amako ty haozarañe hialiako naho ampiandalie’o amako o miatreatre ahikoo.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
Nampitolihe’o amako ty hàto’ o rafelahikoo, vaho rinotsako o malaiñ’ahikoo.
41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them]: [even] to the LORD, but he answered them not.
Nikaike iereo, fe tsy amam-pandrombake— am’Iehovà, fe tsy tinoi’e.
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
Aa le dinemodemoko ho deboke, haboelen-tioke iereo, nariako hoe litsak’ an-dalañe ey.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me.
Vinotso’o ami’ty fioliñoliña’ ondatio iraho, le nampifehè’o ahy o fifelehañeo; mitoroñe ahy ondaty nofikoo.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me.
Vata’e mahajanjiñe iereo, le manoiñe ahy. mitsolofìñe amako o anan-drenetaneo.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid from their close places.
Minik’ avao o anan’ambahinio, le mihondrahondra t’ie miakatse am-pitsifira’e ao.
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Veloñe t’Iehovà! Andriaño i lamilamikoy! onjoneñe t’i Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko,
47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
i Andrianañahare mpamale-fate ho ahiy, naho mampiandaly ondatio ambaneko eo,
48 He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Haha’e amo rafelahikoo iraho, toe onjone’o ambone’ o mpitroatse amakoo, vaho avotso’o am’ ondaty mitrotrofiakeo.
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises to thy name.
Aa le handriañeko amo fifeheañeo irehe ry Iehovà; vaho ho saboeko ty Tahina’o.
50 He giveth great deliverance to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
Ra’elahy ty fandrombahañe atolo’e amy mpanjaka’ey; vaho iferenaiña’e i noriza’ey, i Davide naho i tarira’ey nainai’e donia.
