Salamo 13

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

How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your 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, having 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 and hear me, O LORD 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; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your 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 the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
