Salamo 141

1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

Adonai, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

2 Aoka hankeo anatrehanao mandrakariva toy ny ditin-kazo manitra ny fivavako, Ary ho toy ny fanatitra hariva ny fanandratako ny tanako.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

3 Jehovah ô, asio fiambenana eo anoloan’ ny vavako; Ambeno ny varavaran’ ny molotro.

Set a watch, Adonai, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

4 Aza avela hirona ho amin’ ny zava-dratsy ny foko, Hiray raharaha amin’ ny olona mpanao ratsy hanao izay asa tsy mety; Ary aoka tsy hihinana ny zava-piny aho.

Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of ethical wickedness with men who work vain striving of iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

5 Aoka ny marina hamely ahy amin’ ny fahalemen-panahy ka hananatra ahy, Fa diloilo ahosotra ny lohako izany, ary aoka tsy handà izany ny lohako; Fa ny hany heriko dia ny mbola hivavaka ihany noho ny faharatsian’ ireny.

Let the upright strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

6 Havarina amin’ ny hantsam-bato ny mpitsara azy, Dia hankasitraka ny teniko ny olona.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will sh'ma ·hear obey· my words, for they are well spoken.

7 Toy ny fiasa sy ny fihevo ny tany No nanelezana ny taolanay teo am-bavan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)

“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol ·Place of the dead·.” (Sheol h7585)

8 Fa Hianao no andrandrain’ ny masoko, Jehovah Tompo ô; Hianao no ialofako, aza mandatsaka ny aiko.

For my eyes are on you, Adonai, the 'Adonay [Yahweh the Lord]. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

9 Arovy aho amin’ ny fandrika amandrihany ahy Sy amin’ ny tadivavaran’ ny mpanao ratsy.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of vain striving of iniquity.

10 Aoka ny ratsy fanahy ho latsaka eo anatin’ ny fandriny ihany, Fa izaho kosa handalo fotsiny.

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
