Psalms 18
1 To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: — I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ity fihirana ity tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ i Saoly; dia hoy izy: ―
2 Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.
Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.
3 The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.
Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
4 Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
6 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.
Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.
7 And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake — because He hath wrath.
Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
8 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.
Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
9 And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
10 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.
Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
11 He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
12 From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
13 And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
14 And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.
Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
15 And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.
Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao.
16 He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
17 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.
Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
19 And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.
Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
20 Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
22 For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.
Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
23 And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
24 And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.
Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
25 With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.
Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
26 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,
Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
27 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
28 For Thou — Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
29 For by Thee I run — a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
30 God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.
Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
31 For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?
Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
32 God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.
Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
33 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.
Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
35 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
36 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
37 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
38 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
39 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.
Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
40 As to mine enemies — Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me — I cut them off.
Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
41 They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.
Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
42 And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
43 Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
44 At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
46 Jehovah liveth — and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
47 God — who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
48 My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe.
49 Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,
Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
50 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!
Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
