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.
Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on 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 will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
3 Kanefa aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa navahan’ i Jehovah ho Azy ny tsara fanahy; Jehovah hihaino, raha miantso Azy aho.
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
4 Tezera, fa aza manota; mieritrereta eo am-pandrianareo, ka mangìna. (Sela)
Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
5 Manatera fanati-pahamarinana, ary matokia an’ i Jehovah.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
6 Maro no niteny hoe: iza no haneho soa antsika? Asandrato aminay ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, Jehovah ô.
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
7 Efa nasianao fifaliana ny foko mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny taona nahabetsahan’ ny variny sy ny ranom-boalobony.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
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 in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
