Salamo 129

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A song of ascents. “Often since my youth they have attacked me,” let Israel say.

2 Mafy no nampahoriany ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; Nefa tsy naharesy ahy izy.

“Often since my youth they have attacked me, yet they have not defeated me.

3 Ny mpiasa dia niasa ny lamosiko; Efa nanalava ny vavasany izy.

The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.

4 Marina Jehovah: Efa nanapaka ny famatorana nataon’ ny ratsy fanahy Izy.

Yahweh is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.”

5 Aoka ho menatra sy hiamboho Izay rehetra mandrafy an’ i Ziona

May they all be put to shame and turned back, those who hate Zion.

6 Ka ho tahaka ny ahitra eo an-tampon-trano. Izay malazo, na dia tsy misy manongotra azy aza;

May they be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,

7 Tsy misy mpijinja mameno tanana Na mpamehy amboara mameno tratra amin’ izany;

that cannot fill the reaper's hand or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together.

8 Ka dia tsy hisy mpandalo hanao hoe: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ianareo; Eny, ny anaran’ i Jehovah no itsofanay rano anareo.

May those who pass by not say, “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
