Salamo 10
1 Jehovah ô, nahoana no mijanona eny lavitra eny Hianao ka miery amin’ ny andro fahoriana?
Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? [Wherefore] hide thyself, in times of destitution?
2 Noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy dia enjehina mafy ny malahelo; azon’ ny fahendrena nataony izy ireny.
In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!
3 Ny ratsy fanahy mandoka izay irin’ ny fony; ary ny mpierina mahafoy sy manamavo an’ i Jehovah.
For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.
4 Ny ratsy fanahy mirehareha hoe: Tsy hanadina Izy; eny, “Tsy misy Andriamanitra” no tontalin-keviny.
The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:
5 Tanteraka mandrakariva ny alehany; any amin’ ny avo lavitra azy ny fitsarànao; ny mpandrafy azy rehetra dia ataony hoe: zinona ireny?
His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:
6 Hoy izy am-pony: tsy hangozohozo aho, tsy ho azon-doza mandrakizay doria aho.
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, —From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.
7 Feno ozona sy fitaka ary fanaovana an-keriny ny vavany; ao ambanin’ ny lelany dia misy fampahoriana sy faharatsiana.
With cursing, his mouth is full, and with deceptions and oppression, Under his tongue, are trouble and mischief:
8 Mamitsaka amin’ ny fanotrehana ao an-tanàna izy, ao an-katakonana no amonoany ny marina; ny masony mikendry ny mahantra.
He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, —His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:
9 Manotrika ao an-katakonana tahaka ny liona ao amin’ ny famitsahany izy; manotrika hisambotra ny malahelo izy; fandrihany amin’ ny haratony no fisambony ny malahelo.
He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net:
10 Torotoro sy mitanondrika ny mahantra ka lavo amin’ ny herin’ ny ratsy fanahy.
He croucheth, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate.
11 Hoy izy anakampony: efa nanadino Andriamanitra, efa nanafina ny tavany Izy ka tsy hahita mandrakizay.
He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, —He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
12 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô; Andriamanitra ô, atsangano ny tananao, aza manadino ny ory.
Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, —Do not forget the patient!
13 Nahoana no mamingavinga an’ Andriamanitra ny ratsy fanahy ka manao anakampo hoe: Tsy hanadina Hianao?
Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]!
14 Efa nahita ihany Hianao, satria mijery fahoriana sy alahelo, mba hovalian’ ny tananao. Hianao no iononan’ ny mahantra; Hianao no Mpamonjy ny kamboty.
Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.
15 Torotoroy ny sandrin’ ny ratsy fanahy; ary adino ny heloky ny mpanao ratsy mandra-paha-tsy hisy hitanao intsony.
Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness—wilt thou not find [it]?
16 Jehovah no Mpanjaka mandrakizay doria; voafongotra tsy ho amin’ ny taniny intsony ny jentilisa.
Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.
17 Efa nohenoinao, Jehovah ô, ny irin’ ny mpandefitra; mampiomana ny fony Hianao sady mampihaino ny sofinao,
The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear:
18 Hanomezanao rariny ny kamboty sy ny mahantra, mba tsy handroso hampitahotra intsony ny zanak’ olombelona etỳ an-tany.
To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!
