Salamo 20

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Hihaino anao anie Jehovah amin’ ny andro fahoriana; hitondra anao ho any amin’ ny avo anie ny anaran’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

2 Hahatonga famonjena ho anao avy amin’ ny fitoerana masìna anie Izy, ary hanohana anao avy any Ziona.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;

3 Hahatsiaro ny fanatitra hohaninao rehetra anie Izy, ary hankasitraka ny fanatitra doranao. (Sela)

May he remember all thy meat-offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Hanome anao araka ny fonao anie Izy ary hahatanteraka ny fisainanao rehetra.

May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.

5 Aoka hihoby noho ny famonjena azonao izahay, ary amin’ ny anaran’ Andriamanitray no hanangananay faneva; ho tanterahin’ i Jehovah anie ny angatahinao rehetra.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Ankehitriny dia fantatro fa Jehovah mamonjy ny voahosony; hamaly azy avy amin’ ny lanitry ny fahamasinany Izy amin’ ny herin’ ny famonjen’ ny tànany ankavanana.

Now I know that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Ny sasany mitoky amin’ ny kalesy, ary ny sasany amin’ ny soavaly; Fa raha izahay kosa, dia ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray no hoderainay.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; but we will invoke the name of the Lord our God.

8 Ireo dia reraka sady lavo; fa izahay kosa efa mitsangana sy mijoro,

They are prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.

9 Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny mpanjaka; hamaly anay anie Izy amin’ izay andro iantsoanay Azy.

O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].
