Psalms 55
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Mihainoa ny fivavako, Andriamanitra ô, ary aza miery amin’ ny fitarainako.
2 Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my (meditation) and make a noise,
Henoy aho, ka valio; miriorio ny eritreritro, ka mitoloko aho,
3 Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.
Noho ny feon’ ny fahavalo sy ny fampahorian’ ny ratsy fanahy; fa mampianjera loza amiko ireny, ary amin’ ny fahatezerana no ankahalany ahy.
4 My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
Mangorohoro ato anatiko ny foko, ary mamely ahy ny tahotra ny fahafatesana.
5 Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.
Tahotra sy hovitra no mahazo ahy, ary manafotra ahy ny horohoro.
6 And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,
Ka hoy izaho: enga anie ka manana elatra tahaka ny voromailala aho, dia handositra aho ka hahita izay hitoerako;
7 Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. (Selah)
Eny, handositra lavitra aho ka hitoetra any an-efitra. (Sela)
8 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
Handeha faingana aho hamonjy fialofana, mba tsy ho azon’ ny tafio-drivotra sy ny ranonoram-baratra.
9 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
Aringano izy, ary akoroy ny fiteniny, Tompo ô; fa mahita loza sy ady ao an-tanàna aho.
10 By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
Hodidininy andro aman’ alina eny ambonin ny mandany io; ary heloka sy fampahoriana no ao aminy;
11 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.
Ratsy no ao anatiny; ary ny fitaka sy ny fanangolena tsy mba miala amin’ ny lalàmbeny.
12 For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
Fa tsy fahavalo no nanaratsy ahy, ― fa raha izany, dia niaritra ihany aho; tsy olona nankahala ahy no nanandra-tena namely ahy, fa raha izany, dia niery azy aho;
13 But thou, a man — as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.
Fa ianao, lehilahy mitovy saranga amiko, namako sy sakaizako indrindra,
14 When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.
Dia isika izay nifankamamy resaka ka niara-nandeha tamin’ ny maro ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra.
15 Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol — alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
Aoka hanampoka azy ny fahafatesana. Aoka hidina velona any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy; fa ratsy no ao amin’ ny fonenany, dia ao afovoany. (Sheol h7585)
16 I — to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.
Raha izaho, dia Andriamanitra no hantsoiko; ary Jehovah no hamonjy ahy.
17 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
Hariva sy maraina ary mitatao vovonana no hitarainako sy hitolokoako; dia hihaino ny feoko Izy,
18 He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
Ka hanavotra ny fanahiko ho amin’ ny fiadanana hahafahako amin’ ny adin’ ireny amiko, fa maro no miady amiko.
19 God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
Hihaino Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka hatramin’ ny taloha, (Sela) ka hamaly ireo olona tsy miova toetra, sady tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra.
20 He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
Efa naninjitra ny tànany hamely izay nihavana taminy izy; namadika ny fanekeny izy.
21 Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
Malambo noho ny rononomandry ny vavany, kanjo ady no ao am-pony; malemy noho ny diloilo ny teniny, kanjo sabatra voatsoaka ireny.
22 Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
Apetraho amin’ i Jehovah ny entanao, ary Izy no hanohana anao; tsy havelany hangozohozo mandrakizay ny marina.
23 And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I — I do trust in Thee!
Fa Hianao, Andriamanitra ô, no hampidina ireo any an-davaka fanimbana; ny mpandatsa-drà sy mpamitaka tsy hahatratra ny an-tsasaky ny androny; fa izaho kosa dia hatoky Anao.
