Salamo 28

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.

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

Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.

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.

Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbors is friendly, while evil is in their heart.

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 as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.

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

They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.

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

Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.

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

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.

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

The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.

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

O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
