Salamo 141
1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
A Melody of David. O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.
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 in order like incense before thee, —the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.
3 Jehovah ô, asio fiambenana eo anoloan’ ny vavako; Ambeno ny varavaran’ ny molotro.
Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over 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.
Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.
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 a righteous man smite me—a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
6 Havarina amin’ ny hantsam-bato ny mpitsara azy, Dia hankasitraka ny teniko ny olona.
Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
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 plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades! (Sheol h7585)
8 Fa Hianao no andrandrain’ ny masoko, Jehovah Tompo ô; Hianao no ialofako, aza mandatsaka ny aiko.
Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.
9 Arovy aho amin’ ny fandrika amandrihany ahy Sy amin’ ny tadivavaran’ ny mpanao ratsy.
Keep me out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
10 Aoka ny ratsy fanahy ho latsaka eo anatin’ ny fandriny ihany, Fa izaho kosa handalo fotsiny.
They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.
