Salamo 141
1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
2 Aoka hankeo anatrehanao mandrakariva toy ny ditin-kazo manitra ny fivavako, Ary ho toy ny fanatitra hariva ny fanandratako ny tanako.
Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
3 Jehovah ô, asio fiambenana eo anoloan’ ny vavako; Ambeno ny varavaran’ ny molotro.
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard 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.
Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
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.
It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
6 Havarina amin’ ny hantsam-bato ny mpitsara azy, Dia hankasitraka ny teniko ny olona.
When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
7 Toy ny fiasa sy ny fihevo ny tany No nanelezana ny taolanay teo am-bavan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
8 Fa Hianao no andrandrain’ ny masoko, Jehovah Tompo ô; Hianao no ialofako, aza mandatsaka ny aiko.
But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
9 Arovy aho amin’ ny fandrika amandrihany ahy Sy amin’ ny tadivavaran’ ny mpanao ratsy.
[It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
10 Aoka ny ratsy fanahy ho latsaka eo anatin’ ny fandriny ihany, Fa izaho kosa handalo fotsiny.
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
