Salamo 35
1 Nataon’ i Davida.
[By David.] Contend, Jehovah, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Raiso ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe ka mitsangàna hamonjy ahy.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Ary raiso ny lefona, ka sakano izay manenjika ahy; lazao amin’ ny fanahiko hoe: Famonjena anao Aho.
Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."
4 Aoka ho menatra sy ho afa-baraka izay mitady ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy hangaihay izay misaina hanisy ratsy ahy.
Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
5 Aoka ho tahaka ny akofa eo alohan’ ny rivotra izy. Ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah handroaka azy.
Let them be as chaff before the wind, Jehovah's angel driving them on.
6 Aoka ho maizina sy malama ny lalany, ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah hanenjika azy.
Let their way be dark and slippery, Jehovah's angel pursuing 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 in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for 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 destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
9 Fa ny fanahiko kosa hifaly amin’ i Jehovah sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny.
My soul shall be joyful in Jehovah. It shall rejoice 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, "Jehovah, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"
11 Mitsangana ny vavolombelona mampidi-doza; ka izay tsy fantatro no anadinany ahy.
Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
12 Mamaly ratsy ahy ho solon’ ny soa izy, ka mamoy malala ny fanahiko.
They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving 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 sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 Toy ny nisy nanjo ny sakaizako na ny rahalahiko no nandehanako; nitanondrika tamin’ alahelo toy ny fisaona reny aho.
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
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 in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
16 Naman’ ny olon-dratsy manendrikendrika ho enti-mila sitraka izy ka nihidy vazana tamiko.
When I tripped, they mocked me relentlessly; they gnashed their teeth at me.
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.
Jehovah, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
18 Hisaotra Anao eo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; hidera Anao eo afovoan’ ny olona maro aho.
I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
19 Aoka tsy hifalian’ izay mandrafy ahy foana aho; ary aoka tsy hami-maso izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana.
Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.
20 Fa tsy fihavanana no lazainy; fa mamorom-pitaka izy hamelezany izay mibonaika ambonin’ ny tany.
For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 Dia mitanatana vava amiko izy ka manao hoe: Hià! sakoa izay! efa hita’ ny masonay.
Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."
22 Efa hitanao, Jehovah ô, ka aza manentsin-tadiny; ry Tompo ô, aza manalavitra ahy.
You have seen it, Jehovah. Do not keep silent. Jehovah, do not be far from me.
23 Mahatsiarova, ka mifohaza ho amin’ ny fitsaràna ahy, O Andriamanitro sy Tompoko! mifohaza ho amin’ ny adiko.
Wake up. Rise up to defend me, my God. My Lord, contend for me.
24 Tsarao aho, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, araka ny fahamarinanao; ary aoka tsy hifalian’ ireo aho.
Vindicate me, Jehovah my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.
25 Aoka tsy hanao anakampo hoe izy: Hià! faly izahay! aoka tsy hanao hoe izy: efa natelinay izy.
Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. Aha. Our desire." Do not 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 be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves 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 shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "Jehovah be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."
28 Ary ny lelako hilaza ny fahamarinanao; ny fiderana Anao no hataoko mandrakariva.
My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
