Salamo 129

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:

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

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against 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 apart the cords of the wicked.

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

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

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

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

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

with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

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

Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
