Salamo 13

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Jehovah ô, mandra-pahoviana no mbola hanadinoanao ahy ihany? Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hanafenanao ny tavanao amiko?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hisaintsainako am-panahy, sy hahalahelovako am-po isan’ andro? Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hisandratan’ ny fahavaloko ho amboniko?

Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

4 Jereo aho ka valio, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô; ampahazavao ny mazoto, fandrao renoky ny torimaso fahafatesana aho;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

5 Fandrao ny fahavaloko hanao hoe: naharesy azy aho, fandrao hifaly ny rafilahiko, raha mangozohozo aho.

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

6 Fa raha izaho kosa, dia ny famindram-ponao no itokiako; ho faly amin’ ny famonjenao ny foko. Hihira ho an’ i Jehovah aho, satria nanisy soa ahy Izy;

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
