Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
Hianao, Jehovah ô, no itokiako; aoka tsy ho menatra mandrakizay aho.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
Vonjeo ny fahamarinanao aho, ka afaho; atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ka vonjeo aho.
3 Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
Aoka ho vatolampy fonenana hohatoniko mandrakariva Hianao, Izay efa nandidy hamonjy ahy; fa harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy Hianao.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
Andriamanitro ô, afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, dia amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanao meloka sy ny lozabe.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
Fa Hianao no fanantenako, Jehovah Tompo ô, ry tokiko hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
Hianao no nanankinana ahy hatrany am-bohoka; ianao namoaka ahy avy tany an-kibon-dreniko; ianao no deraiko mandrakariva.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
Tonga toa zava-mahagaga eo imason’ ny maro aho; nefa Hianao no fiarovana mafy ho ahy.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
Ny vavako ho feno ny fideràna Anao sy ny fankalazana Anao mandrakariva.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
Aza manary ahy, rehefa antitra aho; ary aza mahafoy ahy, rehefa ketraka ny heriko.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Fa miresaka ahy ny fahavaloko; ary miara-mioko izay manotrika hahazo ny aiko.
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
Ka manao hoe: Andriamanitra efa nahafoy azy; enjeho izy, ka sambory, fa tsy misy hamonjy.
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
Andriamanitra ô, aza manalavitra ahy; Andriamanitro ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Aoka ho menatra sy ho levona ny mpanohitra ny fanahiko; aoka hitafy henatra sy fahafaham-baraka izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
Fa izaho kosa dia hanantena mandrakariva, ary hitombo lalandava ny fideràko Anao.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Ny vavako hitory ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao mandrakariva, fa tsy fantatro ny isany.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
Ho entiko ny asa lehibe nataon’ i Jehovah Tompo; hampahatsiaro ny fahamarinanao aho, dia ny Anao ihany.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
Andriamanitra ô, Hianao efa nampianatra ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; ary mandraka ankehitriny dia nitory ny fahagaganao aho.
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
Koa mandra-pahantitro sy fotsy volo, dia aza mahafoy ahy, Andriamanitra ô, mandra-pilazako ny sandrinao amin’ ny taranaka sy ny asanao lehibe amin’ izay rehetra mbola ho avy.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
Ary mihatra amin’ izay avo indrindra ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitra ô, Izay nanao zava-dehibe: Andriamanitra ô, iza no tahaka Anao?
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
Hianao Izay nampahita ahy fahoriana be sady mafy no hamelona ahy indray, ka hampiakatra ahy indray hiala amin’ ny fitoerana lalina amin’ ny tany.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
Ampitomboy ny voninahitro, ary aoka hampionona ahy indray Hianao.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
Izaho kosa hidera Anao amin’ ny valiha, dia ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitro; hankalaza Anao amin’ ny lokanga aho, ry Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely ô.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
Hihoby ny molotro raha mankalaza Anao; ny fanahiko koa izay efa navotanao;
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Ary ny lelako hitory ny fahamarinanao mandrakariva; fa efa menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
