Salamo 13

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

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

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

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

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

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

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;

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
