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.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend 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 his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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 protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled 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 Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him 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 glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
