Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

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

‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

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

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. 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 the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
