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.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor 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)
Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
3 Kanefa aoka ho fantatrareo fa efa navahan’ i Jehovah ho Azy ny tsara fanahy; Jehovah hihaino, raha miantso Azy aho.
And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 Tezera, fa aza manota; mieritrereta eo am-pandrianareo, ka mangìna. (Sela)
“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Manatera fanati-pahamarinana, ary matokia an’ i Jehovah.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 Maro no niteny hoe: iza no haneho soa antsika? Asandrato aminay ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, Jehovah ô.
Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 Efa nasianao fifaliana ny foko mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny taona nahabetsahan’ ny variny sy ny ranom-boalobony.
You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been 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.
Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
