Salamo 18
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ity fihirana ity tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ i Saoly; dia hoy izy: ―
For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.
2 Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
5 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.
In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
7 Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
8 Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
9 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
10 Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
11 Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
12 Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
15 Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao.
The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16 Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
17 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
18 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
19 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
20 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
21 Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
23 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
24 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
26 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
27 Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
28 Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
29 Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
30 Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31 Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
32 Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
33 Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
34 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
36 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
37 Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
38 Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
39 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
40 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
41 Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
42 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
43 Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
44 Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
45 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
46 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
47 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
48 Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe.
who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
49 Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
50 Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
