Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

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

if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

then they would 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 the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us 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 has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
