Salamo 28

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

[By David.] To you, YHWH, I call. My rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would 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 petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

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.

Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers 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 according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

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

Because they do not regard the works of YHWH, 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 YHWH, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

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

YHWH is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

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

YHWH is the strength of his people. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

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

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