Salamo 35
1 Nataon’ i Davida.
David’s. Contend, O Yahweh, with them who contend with me, Make war upon them who make war upon me.
2 Raiso ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe ka mitsangàna hamonjy ahy.
Grasp buckler and shield, and arise in my help;
3 Ary raiso ny lefona, ka sakano izay manenjika ahy; lazao amin’ ny fanahiko hoe: Famonjena anao Aho.
Then draw the spear, and close up against my pursuers, Say to my soul, Thy salvation, I am!
4 Aoka ho menatra sy ho afa-baraka izay mitady ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy hangaihay izay misaina hanisy ratsy ahy.
Let them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life, —Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising my hurt:
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, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:
6 Aoka ho maizina sy malama ny lalany, ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah hanenjika azy.
Let their way become dark and slippery, with, the messenger of Yahweh, 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, have they hid for me, in a ditch, their net, —Without cause, have they digged [a pit] for my life.
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.
There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, —Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!
9 Fa ny fanahiko kosa hifaly amin’ i Jehovah sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny.
But, my soul, shall exult in Yahweh, —shall be glad 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—O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their spoiler.
11 Mitsangana ny vavolombelona mampidi-doza; ka izay tsy fantatro no anadinany ahy.
There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:
12 Mamaly ratsy ahy ho solon’ ny soa izy, ka mamoy malala ny fanahiko.
They repay me evil for good, Bereaving 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 humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:
14 Toy ny nisy nanjo ny sakaizako na ny rahalahiko no nandehanako; nitanondrika tamin’ alahelo toy ny fisaona reny aho.
Like as for a friend, like as for a brother of mine own, I walked to and fro, As though mourning for a mother, I gloomily bowed myself down.
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 mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, —There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;
16 Naman’ ny olon-dratsy manendrikendrika ho enti-mila sitraka izy ka nihidy vazana tamiko.
Amidst profane praters of perversion, have 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.
My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.
18 Hisaotra Anao eo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; hidera Anao eo afovoan’ ny olona maro aho.
I will thank thee, in the midst of a great convocation, —In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee.
19 Aoka tsy hifalian’ izay mandrafy ahy foana aho; ary aoka tsy hami-maso izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana.
Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!
20 Fa tsy fihavanana no lazainy; fa mamorom-pitaka izy hamelezany izay mibonaika ambonin’ ny tany.
For, no salvation, will they utter, —But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;
21 Dia mitanatana vava amiko izy ka manao hoe: Hià! sakoa izay! efa hita’ ny masonay.
Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen!
22 Efa hitanao, Jehovah ô, ka aza manentsin-tadiny; ry Tompo ô, aza manalavitra ahy.
Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My Lord! be not far from me:
23 Mahatsiarova, ka mifohaza ho amin’ ny fitsaràna ahy, O Andriamanitro sy Tompoko! mifohaza ho amin’ ny adiko.
Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord!—to my plea:
24 Tsarao aho, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, araka ny fahamarinanao; ary aoka tsy hifalian’ ireo aho.
Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! 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 heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not 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 turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, —Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying 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 in triumph and rejoice, who are desiring my justification; And let them say continually, Yahweh be magnified, Who hath taken pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 Ary ny lelako hilaza ny fahamarinanao; ny fiderana Anao no hataoko mandrakariva.
Mine own tongue also, shall softly utter thy righteousness, —All the day long, —thy praise!
