Salamo 4
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Raha miantso aho, mamalia ahy, ry Andriamanitry ny fahamarinako ô; Raha tao an-katerena aho, dia nohalalahinao toerana; Mamindrà fo amiko, ka henoy ny fivavako.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Ry lehibe, mandra-pahoviana no hataonareo ho henatra ny voninahitro, ary ho tia zava-poana sy hamoron-dainga ianareo? (Sela)
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Kanefa aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa navahan’ i Jehovah ho Azy ny tsara fanahy; Jehovah hihaino, raha miantso Azy aho.
But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 Tezera, fa aza manota; mieritrereta eo am-pandrianareo, ka mangìna. (Sela)
Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Manatera fanati-pahamarinana, ary matokia an’ i Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 Maro no niteny hoe: iza no haneho soa antsika? Asandrato aminay ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, Jehovah ô.
Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Efa nasianao fifaliana ny foko mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny taona nahabetsahan’ ny variny sy ny ranom-boalobony.
Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 Handry amin’ ny fiadanana aho, ka dia hatory miaraka amin’ izay, satria Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mampitoetra ahy mitokana irery tsy manana ahiahy.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
