Salamo 140
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah ô, vonjeo amin’ ny olon-dratsy aho, Ary arovy amin’ ny olon-dozabe,
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
2 Izay mihevitra ratsy ao am-pony Ka manangana ady isan’ andro
Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
3 Mandranitra ny lelany tahaka ny bibilava izy, Ny poizin’ ny menarana no ao ambanin’ ny molony. (Sela)
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
4 Jehovah ô, vonjeo amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, Ary arovy amin’ ny olon-dozabe, Izay efa nihevitra handronjina ahy ho potraka.
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
5 Ny mpiavonavona efa nanafina fandrika sy kofehy hamandrihany ahy; Efa namela-pandrika harato teo amoron-dalana izy; Nametraka tadivavarana hahazoany ahy izy.
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
6 Hoy izaho tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro Hianao; Henoy ny feon’ ny fifonako, Jehovah ô!
I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
7 Jehovah, Tompo ô, ry Herin’ ny famonjena ahy, Manarona ny lohako amin’ ny andro fiadiana Hianao.
Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
8 Jehovah ô, aza manome ny irin’ ny ratsy fanahy; Ary aza avela ho tanteraka ny hevi-dratsiny, fandrao hisandratra izy. (Sela)
O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
9 Ny lohan’ izay manemitra ahy Dia aoka hosaronan’ ny ratsy tononin’ ny molony.
The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
10 Aoka hisy vain’ afo halatsaka aminy; Aoka hariana any anaty afo izy, na any amin’ ny rano lalina, ka tsy hiarina intsony.
Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
11 Tsy hampitoerina amin’ ny tany ny olo-mahay vava; Henjehin-doza ny olon-dozabe ka ho lavo.
A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
12 Fantatro fa Jehovah no handahatra ny tenin’ ny mahantra Sady hanome rariny ho an’ ny malahelo.
I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.
13 Eny tokoa, ny marina hisaotra ny anaranao; Hitoetra eo anatrehanao ny mahitsy.
So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.
