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 sang to Yahweh the words of this song on the day that Yahweh rescued 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,
He prayed, “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, the one who rescues me.
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.
God is my rock. I take refuge in him. He is my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, and my refuge, the one who saves me from violence.
4 Miantso an’ i Jehovah Izay mendrika hoderaina aho, Ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I will be 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, the rushing waters of destruction overwhelmed me.
6 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko, nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death trapped 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 to Yahweh; I called to my God; he heard my voice from his temple, and my call for help went 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 heavens trembled and were shaken, because God 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 from out of his nostrils, and blazing fire came out of his mouth. Coals were ignited by it.
10 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; Ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
He opened the heavens and came down, and 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. He was seen 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 a tent around him, gathering heavy rain clouds in the skies.
13 Ary avy teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany nisy vainafo nidedadeda.
From the lightning before him coals of fire fell.
14 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo.
Yahweh thundered from the heavens. The Most High shouted.
15 Dia nandefa zana-tsipìka Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko, ary nampandeha helatra ka nampifanaritaka azy.
He shot arrows and scattered his enemies— lightning bolts and dispersed 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 were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare at the rebuke of Yahweh, 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 reached down from above; he took hold of me! He pulled me out of the surging water.
18 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny.
He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.
19 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They came against me on the day of my distress, but Yahweh was my support.
20 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
He also brought me out to a wide open place. He saved me because he was pleased with me.
21 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; Araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
Yahweh has rewarded me to the measure of my righteousness; he has restored me to the measure of 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 Yahweh and have not acted wickedly by turning from my God.
23 Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nialako;
For all his righteous decrees have been before me; as for his statutes, I have not turned away from them.
24 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
I have also been innocent before him, and I have kept myself from sin.
25 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovako teo imasony.
Therefore Yahweh has restored me to the measure of my righteousness, to the degree of my cleanness in his sight.
26 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; Ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
To one who is faithful, you show yourself to be faithful; to a man who is blameless, you show yourself to be blameless.
27 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; Ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
With the pure you show yourself pure, but you are perverse to the twisted.
28 Fa ny olona ory dia vonjenao; Fa ny masonao manandrina ny mpiavonavona, ka aetrinao ireny.
You save afflicted people, but your eyes are against the proud, and you bring them down.
29 Fa Hianao no jiroko, Jehovah ô; Jehovah mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh 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 can run over a barricade; by my God I can 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 Yahweh is pure. He is a shield to everyone who takes refuge in him.
32 Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? Ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
For who is God except Yahweh, and who is a rock except our God?
33 Izany Andriamanitra izany no fiarovana mafy ho ahy; Mitondra ny marina amin’ ny lalany Izy.
God is my refuge, and he leads the blameless person on his path.
34 Ary manao ny tongony ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy; Mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo Izy.
He makes my feet swift like a deer and places me on the high hills.
35 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
He trains my hands for war, and my arms to bend a bow of bronze.
36 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; Ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your favor has made me great.
37 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
You have made a wide place for my feet beneath me, so 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 destroyed them. 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.
I devoured them and smashed them; they cannot rise. They have fallen under my feet.
40 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; Aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
You put strength on me like a belt for battle; you put under me those who rise up against me.
41 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; Ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
You gave me the back of my enemies' necks; I annihilated those who hated me.
42 Miherikerika izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, eny, maniry an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They cried for help, but no one saved them; they cried out to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.
43 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovo-tany izy; Hoseko tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana izy ka apariako.
I beat them into fine pieces like dust on the ground, I pulverized them like mud in the streets.
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 rescued me from the disputes of my own people. You have kept me as the head of nations. A people that I have not known serves me.
45 Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy; Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy.
Foreigners were forced to bow to me. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
46 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
The foreigners came trembling out of their strongholds.
47 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; Asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny vatolampy famonjena ahy,
Yahweh lives! May my rock be praised. May God be exalted, the rock of my salvation.
48 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy,
This is the God who executes vengeance for me, the one who brings down 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;
He sets me free from my enemies. Indeed, you lifted me up above those who rose up against me. You rescue me from violent men.
50 Koa Izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations; I 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.
God gives great victory to his king, and he shows his covenant loyalty to his anointed one, to David and to his descendants forever.”
