Salamo 28

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

To thee, O Jehovah, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

2 Mihainoa ny feon’ ny fifonako, raha mitaraina aminao aho, raha manandratra ny tanako ho amin’ ny fitoeranao masìna indrindra aho.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3 Aza atao indray manakipaka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mpanao meloka aho, fa ireny dia milaza fihavanana amin’ ny namany, kanjo ratsy no ao am-pony.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Manomeza azy araka ny asany sy ny faharatsian’ ny ataony; eny, manomeza azy araka ny vitan’ ny tànany, valio izy araka izay iendrehany.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them after the operation of their hands. Render to them their recompense,

5 Fa tsy mihevitra ny asan’ i Jehovah, na ny vitan’ ny tànany, izy, dia horavan’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy haoriny.

because they regard not the works of Jehovah, nor the operation of his hands. He will break them down and not build them up.

6 Isaorana anie Jehovah, fa efa nihaino ny feon’ ny fifonako Izy.

Blessed be Jehovah, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

7 Jehovah no heriko sy ampingako; izy no nitokian’ ny foko, ka voavonjy aho; dia mifaly ny foko, ka ny hirako no hiderako Azy.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.

8 Jehovah no heriny, ary Izy no fiarovana mafy hamonjena ny voahosony.

Jehovah is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

9 Vonjeo ny olonao, ary tahio ny lovanao; andraso izy, ka tezao mandrakizay.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
