Salamo 30

1 Salamo. Fihirana tamin’ ny nitokanana ny trano. Nataon’ i Davida. Hanandratra Anao aho, Jehovah ô; fa nanintona ahy niakatra Hianao, ka tsy nataonao ho fifalian’ ny fahavaloko aho.

A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple. I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.

2 Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, nitaraina taminao aho, dia nahasitrana ahy Hianao.

Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.

3 Jehovah ô, efa nampakatra ny fanahiko avy tany amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hianao; efa nampody ny aiko Hianao, mba tsy ho isan’ izay midìna any an-davaka aho. (Sheol h7585)

Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death. (Sheol h7585)

4 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, ry olony masìna, ka miderà ny anarany masìna.

You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!

5 Fa indray mipi-maso ihany ny fahatezerany; nefa mandritra ny andro iainana kosa ny fankasitrahany; amin’ ny hariva dia misy fitomaniana tonga hivahiny miloaka alina; Fa nony maraina kosa dia misy fihobiana.

For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.

6 Ary hoy izaho, raha mbola niadana: tsy hangozohozo mandrakizay aho.

When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”

7 Jehovah ô, noho ny fankasitrahanao dia nampitoerinao mafy ny tendrombohitro; nanafina ny tavanao Hianao, dia ory aho.

Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.

8 Hianao no nantsoiko, Jehovah ô; ary Jehovah no nifonako hoe:

I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,

9 Inona no soa azo amin’ ny rako sy ny hidinako any an-davaka? Hidera Anao va ny vovoka? Hanambara ny fahamarinanao va izany?

What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?

10 Mihainoa, Jehovah ô, ka mamindrà fo amiko; Jehovah ô, aoka ho Mpamonjy ahy Hianao.

Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.

11 Efa nampody ny fisaonako ho fandihizana Hianao; efa nanaisotra ny lamba fisaonako Hianao ka nampisikina ahy fifaliana,

You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,

12 Mba hankalazan’ ny fanahiko Anao ka tsy hangina. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, hidera Anao mandrakizay aho.

so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
