Salamo 27
1 Nataon’ i Davida.
[A Psalm] of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Raha manatona ahy hihinana ny nofoko ny ratsy fanahy, izay fahavaloko sy rafilahiko, dia izy ihany no tafintohina ka lavo.
When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Na dia misy antokony mitoby hiady amiko aza, tsy hatahotra ny foko; na dia misy ady mihatra amiko aza, dia hatoky ihany aho.
If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 Zavatra iray loha no nangatahiko tamin’ i Jehovah, izany no hotadiaviko, dia ny hitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainako, mba ho faly mijery ny fahasoavan’ i Jehovah sy mandinika ny tempoliny.
One [thing] have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire [of him] in his temple.
5 Fa hanafina ahy ao an-trano fialofany amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy; hampiery ahy amin’ ny fierena ao an-dainy Izy; hanandratra ahy ho eny ambony vatolampy Izy.
For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.
6 Koa dia hisandratra ambonin’ ny fahavaloko manodidina ahy ny lohako, ka hanatitra fanatitra hihobiana ao an-dainy aho; hihira sy hankalaza an’ i Jehovah aho.
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.
7 Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, fa mitaraina mafy aho; ary mamindrà fo amiko, ka valio aho.
Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.
8 Raha hoy Hianao: tadiavonareo ny tavako, dia hoy ny navalin’ ny foko: Eny, ny tavanao no tadiaviko, Jehovah ô;
My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.
9 Aza manafina ny tavanao amiko, aza mandroaka ny mpanomponao an-katezerana; efa famonjena ahy Hianao; aza manary na mahafoy ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy.
Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Fa ny raiko aman-dreniko efa nahafoy ahy; fa Jehovah kosa no mandray ahy.
For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.
11 Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô; ary tariho amin’ ny lalana marina aho noho ny fahavaloko.
Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.
12 Aza manolotra ahy ho amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny mpampahory ahy; fa vavolombelona mandainga sy izay mifofofofo loza no mitsangana hiampanga ahy.
Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
13 Raha izay re aho no tsy nanantena hahita ny fahasoavan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona.
Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living...!
14 Miandrasa an’ i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an’ i Jehovah.
Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.
