Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;

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

If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:

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

Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us up as a prey to 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 is escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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, the maker of heaven and earth.
