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: ―
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, 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 rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
3 Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
4 Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
5 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The sorowes of the graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertooke 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.
But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
7 Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
8 Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
9 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
10 Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
11 Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
12 Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
13 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
14 Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed 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 chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
16 Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
17 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
18 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
19 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
20 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
21 Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
22 Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
23 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
24 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
25 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
26 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
27 Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
28 Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
29 Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer 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.
The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust 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 mightie saue our God?
32 Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
33 Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
34 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
35 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
36 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
37 Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
38 Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
39 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
40 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
42 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
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.
Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.
44 Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
45 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
46 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
47 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder 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.
O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.
49 Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy 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 deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
