Salamo 22
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Alaieleth-hasahara. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitro ô, nahoana no dia mahafoy ahy Hianao? Lavitra ny famonjena ahy ny tenin’ ny fitarainako.
For the music director. To the tune “Doe of the Dawn.” A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan, asking for help?
2 Andriamanitro ô, miantso aho nony andro, nefa tsy mamaly Hianao; ary nony alina, nefa tsy mahita fiononana aho.
My God, every day I cry out to you, but you don't answer; at night too, but I get no rest.
3 Kanefa masìna Hianao, Ry mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny fideran’ ny Isiraely.
Yet you are holy, and the praises of Israel are your throne.
4 Hianao no nitokian’ ny razanay; Natoky izy, ka namonjy azy Hianao.
Our forefathers trusted in you; they trusted and you rescued them.
5 Hianao no nitarainany, ka afaka izy; Hianao no nitokiany, ka tsy menatra izy.
They cried out to you for help, and they were saved. They trusted in you and were not defeated.
6 Ary izaho dia olitra, fa tsy olona, fandatsan’ olona sy fanevatevam-bahoaka.
But I'm a worm, not a man, scorned and despised by everyone.
7 Izay rehetra mahita ahy dia manaraby ahy; manondro molotra izy sady mihifikifi-doha ka manao hoe:
People who see me mock me. They laugh at me and shake their heads, saying,
8 Ankino amin’ i Jehovah, dia aoka Izy hamonjy azy; eny, aoka Izy hanafaka azy, raha mankasitraka azy Izy.
“He trusts in the Lord—well then, let the Lord save him! If the Lord is such a friend, then let the Lord rescue him!”
9 Fa Hianao no nampivoaka ahy avy tao an-kibo; nampandry ahy fahizay ianao, fony aho mbola nampinonoin’ ny reniko;
However, you brought me safely through birth, and led me to trust in you at my mother's breasts.
10 Nankinina taminao hatrany am-bohoka aho; hatrany an-kibon-dreniko dia Andriamanitro Hianao.
I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
11 Aza manalavitra ahy Hianao, fa akaiky ny fahoriana, sady tsy misy mpamonjy.
Do not be distant from me, because trouble is close by and no one else can help.
12 Mitangorona amiko ireo ombilahy be, ny maherin’ i Basana manemitra ahy.
Enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
13 Misanasana vava amiko izy; eny, liona mamiravira sy mierona izy.
Like roaring lions tearing at their prey they open their mouths wide against me.
14 Efa rano aidina aho, ka mivaha ny taolako rehetra; tahaka ny savoka ny foko: miempo ato anatiko izy.
I feel like I'm being poured out like water. I'm falling apart as if all my bones have become loose. My mind feels like it's wax melting inside me.
15 Maina tahaka ny tavim-bilany ny heriko, ary ny lelako miraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniko; ao amin’ ny vovoky ny fahafatesana no ametrahanao ahy.
My strength has dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. You're burying me as if I'm already dead.
16 Fa mitangorona amiko ny amboa, ny fiangonan’ ny ratsy fanahy manemitra ahy. Manindrona ny tongotro aman-tanako izy
Evil men surround me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Mahisa ny taolako rehetra aho ireo dia mibanjina sady mangarika ahy.
I'm so thin I can count all my bones. People stare at me and gloat.
18 Mizara ny fitafiako ho azy izy; ary ny akanjoko ilokàny.
They divide my clothing among them; they roll dice for my clothes.
19 Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, aza manalavitra; ry Heriko ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.
But you, Lord, don't be far away from me! You are my strength—hurry, come and help me!
20 Vonjeo amin’ ny sabatra ny fanahiko, dia ny hany malalako amin’ ny herin’ ny amboa.
Save me from death by the sword! Save my life—the only one I have—from the dogs!
21 Vonjeo amin’ ny vavan’ ny liona aho; ary valio ho afaka amin’ ny tandroky ny ombimanga.
Rescue me from the mouth of the lion and from the wild bulls!
22 Hitory ny anaranao amin’ ny rahalahiko aho; eo amin’ ny fiangonana no hideràko Anao.
I will tell my people all the wonderful things you have done; I will praise you in the congregation.
23 Hianareo izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah, miderà Azy; ry taranak’ i Jakoba rehetra, manomeza voninahitra Azy; ary matahora Azy, ry Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
Praise the Lord, all who worship him! Honor him, every descendant of Jacob! Be in awe of him, every descendant of Israel!
24 Fa tsy manao tsinontsinona na marikorikon’ ny fahorian’ ny ory Izy, ary tsy mba manafina ny tavany aminy; fa raha mitaraina aminy ireny, dia mihaino Izy.
For he has not ridiculed or scorned the suffering of the poor; he has not turned away from them, he has listened to their cries for help.
25 Avy aminao no ahazoako manao fiderana eo amin’ ny fiangonan-dehibe; ny voadiko dia hefaiko eo anatrehan’ izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah.
You are the subject of my praise in the great assembly. I will fulfill my promises before those who worship you.
26 Hihinana ny mpandefitra ka ho voky; hidera an’ i Jehovah izay mitady azy; ho velona mandrakizay anie ny fonareo.
The poor shall eat, and they shall be satisfied. All who come to the Lord will praise him—may you all live forever!
27 Hahatsiaro ka hiverina ho amin’ i Jehovah ny faran’ ny tany rehetra; ary hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny fokon’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa.
Everyone in the whole world will repent and return to the Lord; all the nations will worship before you.
28 Fa an’ i Jehovah ny fanjakana; ary manapaka amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa Izy.
For kingly power belongs to the Lord; he is the one who rules over the nations.
29 Hihinana sy hiankohoka ny mpanefoefo rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, eo anatrehany no hiondrehan’ izay rehetra efa hidina any amin’ ny vovoka ka tsy mahavelona ny ainy.
All who prosper come to feast and worship. Bow down before him, all those destined for the grave—for none can keep themselves alive.
30 Hisy taranaka hanompo Azy; ary ny Tompo dia holazaina amin’ ny taranaka ho avy.
Our descendants will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the Lord.
31 Hisy ho avy ka hanambara ny fahamarinany, amin’ ny olona izay mbola hateraka, fa Izy no nanao izany.
They will come and tell those yet to be born how good the Lord is, and all that he has done!
