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 end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will 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 firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
3 Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
4 Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
5 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented 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.
And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into 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 were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
8 Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
9 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
10 Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
11 Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
12 Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
13 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
14 Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, 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.
And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.
16 Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
17 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
18 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
19 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
20 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
21 Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
For I have kept the way 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 judgements were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
23 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
24 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
25 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
With the holy you will be holy; and with the innocent man you will be innocent.
26 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
And with the excellent [man] you will be excellent; and with the perverse you will show frowardness.
27 Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
For you will save the lowly people, and will humble the eyes of the proud.
28 Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
For you, O Lord, will light my lamp: my God, you will lighten my darkness.
29 Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
For by you shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over 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] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
31 Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
32 Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
[It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
33 Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
34 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
He instructs my hands for war: and you have made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
35 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
And you have made me secure in my salvation: and your right hand has helped me, and your correction has upheld me to the end; yes, your correction itself shall instruct me.
36 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
You has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
37 Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
38 Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
39 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
For you have girded me with strength for war: you have beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
40 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
And you has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and you have destroyed them that hated me.
41 Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he listened not to them.
42 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
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.
Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: you shall make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
44 Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
45 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
46 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
[It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under 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.
my deliverer from angry enemies: you shall set me on high above them that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the unrighteous man.
49 Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, amongst the Gentiles, and sing 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.
[God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
