Salamo 35

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.

2 Raiso ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe ka mitsangàna hamonjy ahy.

Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.

3 Ary raiso ny lefona, ka sakano izay manenjika ahy; lazao amin’ ny fanahiko hoe: Famonjena anao Aho.

Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.

4 Aoka ho menatra sy ho afa-baraka izay mitady ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy hangaihay izay misaina hanisy ratsy ahy.

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.

5 Aoka ho tahaka ny akofa eo alohan’ ny rivotra izy. Ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah handroaka azy.

Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.

6 Aoka ho maizina sy malama ny lalany, ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah hanenjika azy.

Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.

7 Fa tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana no nanaovany fandri-totofana hahazoany ahy; tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana no nandavahany hamandrihany ny aiko.

For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.

8 Aoka ny fandringanana ho tonga tampoka aminy; ary aoka hahazo azy ny fandrika harato nafeniny, ka ho latsaka ao amin’ izany fandringanana izany indrindra izy.

Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.

9 Fa ny fanahiko kosa hifaly amin’ i Jehovah sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny.

But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.

10 Ny taolako rehetra hanao hoe: Jehovah ô, iza no tahaka Anao, Izay manafaka ny ory amin’ izay tsy tohany, eny, ny ory sy ny malahelo amin’ izay mamabo azy?

All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.

11 Mitsangana ny vavolombelona mampidi-doza; ka izay tsy fantatro no anadinany ahy.

Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.

12 Mamaly ratsy ahy ho solon’ ny soa izy, ka mamoy malala ny fanahiko.

They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.

13 Ary ny amiko, raha narary izy ireo, dia lamba fisaonana no nitafiako; nampahory ny tenako tamin’ ny ny fifadian-kanina aho; ary ny fivavako nody tao an-tratrako.

But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.

14 Toy ny nisy nanjo ny sakaizako na ny rahalahiko no nandehanako; nitanondrika tamin’ alahelo toy ny fisaona reny aho.

As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.

15 Nefa nony ho lavo kosa aho, dia faly izy ireo ka niangona; olona faraidina no nitangorona hamely ahy, nefa tsy fantatro; namiravira izy ka tsy mba nitsahatra;

But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.

16 Naman’ ny olon-dratsy manendrikendrika ho enti-mila sitraka izy ka nihidy vazana tamiko.

They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17 Ry Tompo ô, mandra-pahoviana no hijerenao? Avereno ny fanahiko ho afaka amin’ ny fandringanany, ny hany malalako ho afaka amin’ ny liona tanora.

Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.

18 Hisaotra Anao eo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; hidera Anao eo afovoan’ ny olona maro aho.

I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.

19 Aoka tsy hifalian’ izay mandrafy ahy foana aho; ary aoka tsy hami-maso izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana.

Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.

20 Fa tsy fihavanana no lazainy; fa mamorom-pitaka izy hamelezany izay mibonaika ambonin’ ny tany.

For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.

21 Dia mitanatana vava amiko izy ka manao hoe: Hià! sakoa izay! efa hita’ ny masonay.

And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.

22 Efa hitanao, Jehovah ô, ka aza manentsin-tadiny; ry Tompo ô, aza manalavitra ahy.

Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.

23 Mahatsiarova, ka mifohaza ho amin’ ny fitsaràna ahy, O Andriamanitro sy Tompoko! mifohaza ho amin’ ny adiko.

Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.

24 Tsarao aho, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, araka ny fahamarinanao; ary aoka tsy hifalian’ ireo aho.

Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.

25 Aoka tsy hanao anakampo hoe izy: Hià! faly izahay! aoka tsy hanao hoe izy: efa natelinay izy.

Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.

26 Aoka ho menatra sy hangaihay avokoa izay mifaly amin’ ny manjo ahy; aoka hitafy henatra sy fahafaham-baraka izay mirehareha amiko.

Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.

27 Aoka hihoby sy hifaly izay mankasitraka ny fahamarinako; ary aoka izy hanao mandrakariva hoe: hankalazaina anie Jehovah, Izay mankasitraka ny fiadanan’ ny mpanompony.

Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.

28 Ary ny lelako hilaza ny fahamarinanao; ny fiderana Anao no hataoko mandrakariva.

Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
