2 Samoela 22
1 Ary Davida nanao izao fihirana izao ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tànan’ i Saoly,
David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 ka hoy izy: Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy,
and he said, "Jehovah is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
3 Andriamanitra vatolampiko, Izy no ialofako, Ampingako sy tandroko famonjena Izy ary fiarovana avo ho ahy sy fandosirako; Ry Mpamonjy ahy, mahafaka ahy amin’ ny fampahoriana Hianao.
My God, my Rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; from violent people he saves me.
4 Miantso an’ i Jehovah Izay mendrika hoderaina aho, Ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
I call on Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
5 Fa nihodidina tamiko ny onjan’ ny fahafatesana. Ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
For the waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
6 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko, nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol h7585)
7 Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako dia efa tonga eo an-tsofiny.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
8 Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fiorenan’ ny lanitra nihorohoro, eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
9 Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
10 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; Ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
11 Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina, eny, niseho teo amin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
He rode on a cherub, and flew; and he soared on the wings of the wind.
12 Efa nanao ny maizina ho tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia fivorian-drano sy rahona matevina
He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
13 Ary avy teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany nisy vainafo nidedadeda.
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo.
Jehovah thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
15 Dia nandefa zana-tsipìka Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko, ary nampandeha helatra ka nampifanaritaka azy.
And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
16 Dia hita ny fitoeran-dranomasina, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany, noho ny teny mafy nataon’ i Jehovah, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavorony.
Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 Naninjitra ny tànany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy.
He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.
20 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; Araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nialako;
For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
24 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovako teo imasony.
Therefore Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
26 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; Ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
27 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; Ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
28 Fa ny olona ory dia vonjenao; Fa ny masonao manandrina ny mpiavonavona, ka aetrinao ireny.
You save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
29 Fa Hianao no jiroko, Jehovah ô; Jehovah mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
For you light my lamp. Jehovah my God lights up my darkness.
30 Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; Ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
31 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.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32 Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? Ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
For who is God, besides Jehovah? Who is a rock, besides our God,
33 Izany Andriamanitra izany no fiarovana mafy ho ahy; Mitondra ny marina amin’ ny lalany Izy.
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
34 Ary manao ny tongony ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy; Mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo Izy.
He makes my feet like those of a deer, and sets me on my high places.
35 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
36 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; Ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
37 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
38 Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mandripaka azy; Ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalany ritrany.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
39 Mandringana sy mandripaka azy aho, ka tsy maharina izy; Lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
And I consumed them, and struck them through, so that they did not rise. And they fell beneath my feet.
40 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; Aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; Ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 Miherikerika izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, eny, maniry an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They cry out, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
43 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovo-tany izy; Hoseko tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana izy ka apariako.
Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
44 Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny oloko Hianao sy miaro ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45 Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy; Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy.
As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
46 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
they are not bound in chains.
47 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; Asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny vatolampy famonjena ahy,
Jehovah lives. Blessed be my rock. Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
48 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy,
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me,
49 Dia Ilay mitondra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe;
who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You protect me from the violent man.
50 Koa Izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Therefore I will praise you, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
51 Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever."
