Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 Raha tsy Jehovah no nomba antsika, Raha nitsangana hamely antsika ny olona.

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 Dia nitelina antsika velona izy, Raha nirehitra tamintsika ny fahatezerany;

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 Dia nandifotra antsika ny rano, Ary nanafotra ny fanahintsika ny riaka;

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay tsy nanolotra antsika ho rembin’ ny nifiny.

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 Ny fanahintsika dia efa afaka tahaka ny vorona afaka tamin’ ny fandriky ny mpihaza: Tapaka ny fandrika, ka afaka isika.

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 Ny famonjena antsika dia amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
