Salamo 139
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.
2 Hianao no mahalala ny fipetrako sy ny fitsangako Sady mahafantatra ny hevitro eny lavitra eny.
You know when I sit down and when I stand up. [Even though you are] far away from me, you know what I am thinking.
3 Voadinikao ny toetro, na mandeha aho, na mandry; Ary fantatrao tsara ny alehako rehetra.
When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.
4 Fa, indro, tsy misy teny tsy fantatrao eo amin’ ny lelako, Jehovah ô.
Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!
5 Manodidina ahy eo ivohoko sy eo anatrehako Hianao, Ary apetrakao amiko ny tananao.
You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].
6 Fahalalana mahagaga ahy loatra izany, Eny, avo loatra ka tsy tratro.
I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.
7 Aiza no hialako amin’ ny Fanahinao? Aiza no handosirako tsy ho eo anatrehanao?
(Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.) [RHQ] (Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.) [RHQ]
8 Na dia miakatra any an-danitra aza aho dia any Hianao; Ary na dia manao ny fiainan-tsi-hita ho fandriako aza aho, indro, any Hianao. (Sheol h7585)
If I went up to heaven, you would be there. If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Na dia maka ny elatry ny maraina aza aho, Mba hitoetra any am-paran’ ny ranomasina,
If I had wings and flew very far east [MTY], or if I flew west and made a place to live [on an island] in the ocean,
10 Dia mbola entin’ ny tananao ihany aho, na dia izany aza, Sy hazonin’ ny tananao ankavanana.
you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.
11 Ary na dia hoy izaho aza: Aoka ny maizina hanarona ahy, Ary aoka ny mazava manodidina ahy ho tonga alina,
I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
12 Tsia, fa ny maizina aza tsy mahamaizina aminao; Fa ny alina dia mahazava toy ny andro ihany, Ka sahala ny mazava sy ny maizina.
but even [if that happened], the darkness would not be darkness for you! For you, the night is [as bright] as the daytime is, because for you, daylight and darkness are (not different/the same).
13 Fa Hianao no nahary ny voako; Namolavola ahy tao an-kibon-dreniko Hianao.
You created [all] the parts of my body; you put [the parts of] my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
14 Hidera Anao aho; fa mahatahotra sy mahatalanjona ny nanaovana ahy; Mahagaga ny asanao; Ary fantatry ny fanahiko marimarina izany.
I praise you because you made my [body in a very] awesome and wonderful way. Everything that you do is amazing! I know that very well.
15 Ny tenako tsy niafina taminao, Fony natao tao amin’ ny miafina aho, Ka noforoninao hisy endrika tany ambanin’ ny tany.
When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!
16 Ny masonao efa nahita ahy na dia fony tsy mbola ary fady aza aho; Voasoratra teo amin’ ny bokinao avokoa ny andro voatendry, Fony tsy mbola nisy na dia iray akory aza.
You saw me before I was born. You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live. You did that before any of those days had [even] started!
17 Endrey, zava-tsoa amiko indrindra ny hevitrao, Andriamanitra ô! Akory ny hamaron’ ny isany!
God, what you think about me is very precious (OR, is very hard to understand). There is a great number of things that you think about.
18 Raha hanisa azy aho, dia maro isa lavitra noho ny fasika izy; Raha mifoha aho, dia mbola aminao ihany.
If I could count them, [I would see that] they are more than the grains of sand [at the seashore]. And when I wake up, I am still with you [and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count].
19 Haringanao mihitsy ny ratsy fanahy, Andriamanitra ô, Ary mialà amiko, ianareo mpandatsa-drà.
God, I desire that you would kill all the wicked people! And I wish that violent [MTY] men would (leave/go away from) me.
20 Dia izay manonona Anao ho enti-mamitaka, Jehovah ô, Eny, ny fahavalonao izay manonona Anao foana.
They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.
21 Tsy hankahala izay mankahala Anao va aho, Jehovah ô, Sy ho tezitra amin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra Anao?
Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.
22 Halako dia halako marina tokoa ireny; Efa fahavaloko ireny.
I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.
23 Diniho aho, Andriamanitra ô, ary fantaro ny foko; Izahao toetra aho, ary fantaro ny eritreritro;
God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!
24 Ary izahao na misy lalana mampahory ato anatiko, Dia tariho amin’ ny lalana mandrakizay aho.
Find out whether there is anything evil in my [inner being], and lead me along the road [that leads to my being with you] forever.
