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.
For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2 Ry lehibe, mandra-pahoviana no hataonareo ho henatra ny voninahitro, ary ho tia zava-poana sy hamoron-dainga ianareo? (Sela)
You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (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 Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Tezera, fa aza manota; mieritrereta eo am-pandrianareo, ka mangìna. (Sela)
Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
5 Manatera fanati-pahamarinana, ary matokia an’ i Jehovah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Maro no niteny hoe: iza no haneho soa antsika? Asandrato aminay ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, Jehovah ô.
Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7 Efa nasianao fifaliana ny foko mihoatra noho ny tamin’ ny taona nahabetsahan’ ny variny sy ny ranom-boalobony.
You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8 Handry amin’ ny fiadanana aho, ka dia hatory miaraka amin’ izay, satria Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mampitoetra ahy mitokana irery tsy manana ahiahy.
It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
