Salamo 116
1 Izaho tia an’ i Jehovah, satria efa nandre Ny feon’ ny fifonako Izy.
I love Yahweh, because he hears me when I cry for him to help me.
2 Satria efa nanongilana ny sofiny tamiko Izy, Dia hiantso aho, raha mbola velona koa.
He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life.
3 Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoran’ ny fahafatesana, Ary nahazo ahy ny fahorian’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita; Nahita fahoriana sy alahelo aho. (Sheol h7585)
Everything around me [MET] caused me to think that I would die; I was very afraid that I would [die and go to] the place where dead people are. I was very distressed/worried and afraid. (Sheol h7585)
4 Dia niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah hoe aho: Jehovah ô, mifona aminao aho, vonjeo ny fanahiko.
[But] then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!”
5 Mamindra fo sy marina Jehovah Eny, miantra Andriamanitsika.
Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully [to us].
6 Miaro ny kely saina Jehovah; Reraka aho, dia namonjy ahy Izy.
He protects those who (are helpless/cannot defend themselves); and when I thought that I would die, he saved me.
7 Miverena ho amin’ ny fitsaharanao, ry fanahiko, Fa Jehovah efa nanisy soa anao,
I must encourage/tell myself to (have inner peace/not worry any more), because Yahweh has done very good things for me.
8 Dia namonjy ny fanahiko tamin’ ny fahafatesana Hianao Sy ny masoko tamin’ ny ranomaso Ary ny tongotro tamin’ ny fahatafintohinana.
Yahweh has saved me [SYN] from dying, and has kept/protected me from [troubles that would cause me to] cry. He has kept/protected me from stumbling.
9 Handeha eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Eo amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona aho.
[So here] on the earth, where people are still alive, I live knowing that Yahweh is [directing] me.
10 Nino aho; hiteny tokoa aho; Mahantra indrindra aho.
I continued to believe/trust [in Yahweh], even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted/troubled.”
11 Hoy izaho tamin’ ny fahatairako; Mpandainga ny olona rehetra.
[Even] when I was distressed/worried and said, “I cannot trust anyone,” [I continued to trust in Yahweh].
12 Inona no havaliko an’ i Jehovah Noho ny soa rehetra nataony tamiko?
So now [I will tell you] [RHQ] what I will offer to Yahweh, because of all the good things that he has done for me.
13 Handray ny kapoaky ny famonjena aho Ka hiantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
I will offer to him a cup [of wine] to thank him for saving/rescuing me.
14 Hanefa ny voadiko amin’ i Jehovah aho. Eny, eo anatrehan’ ny olony rehetra.
When I am together with many [HYP] people who belong to Yahweh, I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him.
15 Zava-dehibe eo imason’ i Jehovah Ny fahafatesan’ ny olony masìna.
Yahweh is very grieved/sad when one of his people dies.
16 Indrisy! Jehovah ô, mpanomponao tokoa aho, Eny, mpanomponao sady zanaky ny ankizivavinao; Namaha ny fatorako Hianao.
I am one of those who serve Yahweh; I serve him like my mother did. He has freed/saved me from dying (OR, from being fastened by chains).
17 Hianao no haterako fanati-pisaorana, Ary ny anaran’ i Jehovah no hantsoiko.
[So] I will offer to him a sacrifice to thank him, and I will pray to him.
18 Hanefa ny voadiko amin’ i Jehovah aho, Eny, eo anatrehan’ ny olony rehetra,
When I am together with many of [HYP] the people who belong to Yahweh, [in the courtyard] outside his temple in Jerusalem, I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him. Praise Yahweh!
19 Dia eo an-kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, Eo afovoanao, ry Jerosalema ô. Haleloia.
