Salamo 27
1 Nataon’ i Davida.
David’s. Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?
2 Raha manatona ahy hihinana ny nofoko ny ratsy fanahy, izay fahavaloko sy rafilahiko, dia izy ihany no tafintohina ka lavo.
When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies—mine!—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.
Though there pitch against me—a camp, my heart shall not fear, —Though there come up against me—a battle, still, am I 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 Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, —That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate 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 he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, —He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
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.
Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
7 Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, fa mitaraina mafy aho; ary mamindrà fo amiko, ka valio aho.
Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
8 Raha hoy Hianao: tadiavonareo ny tavako, dia hoy ny navalin’ ny foko: Eny, ny tavanao no tadiaviko, Jehovah ô;
To thee, said my heart—[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face—Thy face, O Yahweh, 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.
Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, —My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
10 Fa ny raiko aman-dreniko efa nahafoy ahy; fa Jehovah kosa no mandray ahy.
When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
11 Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô; ary tariho amin’ ny lalana marina aho noho ny fahavaloko.
Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, —And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
12 Aza manolotra ahy ho amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny mpampahory ahy; fa vavolombelona mandainga sy izay mifofofofo loza no mitsangana hiampanga ahy.
Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.
13 Raha izay re aho no tsy nanantena hahita ny fahasoavan’ i Jehovah amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona.
I believe that I shall see—The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,
14 Miandrasa an’ i Jehovah ianao; matokia, ary aoka hahery ny fonao; eny, miandrasa an’ i Jehovah.
Wait thou for Yahweh, —Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
