Salamo 40
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Niandry dia niandry an’ i Jehovah aho; ary nitodika nitsinjo ahy Izy ka nandre ny fitarainako.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” I trusted steadfastly in the LORD, And he listened, and heard my cry.
2 Dia nampakatra ahy avy tao amin’ ny lavaka fandringanana Izy, eny, tamin’ ny fotaka mandrevo; ary nampitoetra ny tongotro teo ambony vatolampy Izy ka nampijoro ahy.
He drew me out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, And made my steps firm.
3 Ary nanisy fihiram-baovao teo am-bavako Izy, dia fideràna an’ Andriamanitsika; maro no hahita sy hatahotra ary hatoky an’ i Jehovah.
He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust in the LORD.
4 Sambatra izay olona manao an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny, ka tsy mivily ho naman’ ny mpiavonavona na ny mpivadika ho amin’ ny lainga.
Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!
5 Nohamaroinao ny fahagaganao sy ny hevitrao izay nataonao ho anay, Jehovah Andriamanitra ô. Tsy misy azo ampitahaina aminao Raha tiako hambara sy holazaina ireny, dia, indro, maro loatra izy ka tsy tambo isaina.
Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Ny fanatitra alatsa-drà sy ny fanatitra hohanina tsy mba sitrakao ny sofiko nataonao malady ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota tsy mba nilainao;
In sacrifice and oblation thou hast no pleasure; Mine ears thou hast opened; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou requirest not.
7 Dia hoy izaho: inty aho tonga ao amin’ ny horonam-boky no nanoratana ahy.
Therefore I said, “Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;
8 Ny hanao ny sitraponao, Andriamanitra ô, no sitrako; ary ny lalanao no ato anatiko.
O my God! to do thy will is my delight, And thy law dwelleth in my heart!”
9 Efa nilaza teny mahafaly ny amin’ ny fahamarinana teo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; indro ny molotro tsy mba nakomboko; Jehovah ô, Hianao no mahalala.
I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!
10 Ny fahamarinanao tsy mba nafeniko tato am-poko; ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao no nambarako; tsy nanafina ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao tamin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho.
I hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from the great assembly.
11 Hianao, Jehovah ô, aza miaro ny antranao tsy ho amiko; aoka ny famindram-ponao sy ny fahamarinanao hiaro ahy mandrakariva.
Withdraw not from me thy tender mercies, O LORD! May thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me!
12 Fa nanodidina ahy ny fahoriana tsy tambo isaina; nahazo ahy ny heloko, ka tsy mahay mijery aho; maro noho ny volon-dohako ireny, ka reraka ny foko.
For evils without number have encompassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me; I cannot see the end of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my heart dieth within me.
13 Aoka ho sitraky ny fonao, Jehovah ô, ny hanafaka ahy; Jehovah ô, faingàna hamonjy ahy.
May it please thee, O LORD! to deliver me! O LORD! make haste to mine aid!
14 Aoka ho indray menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanimba ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy ho menatra izay mankasitraka ahy ho ory.
May they all be confounded and covered with shame Who seek to take away my life! Let them be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!
15 Aoka ho ankona noho ny fahamenarany ireny manao amiko hoe: Hià! sakoa izay!
Let them be overwhelmed with confusion Who cry out to me, Aha! aha!
16 Aoka ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao izay rehetra mitady Anao; aoka izay rehetra tia ny famonjenao hanao mandrakariva hoe: hankalazaina anie Jehovah.
But let all who seek thee Be glad and rejoice in thee! Let those who love thy protection Ever say, “Great is Jehovah!”
17 Fa na dia ory sy malahelo aza aho, ny Tompo no mihevitra ahy; Mpamonjy sy Mpanafaka ahy Hianao; aza ela, Andriamanitro ô.
I am poor and afflicted, yet the Lord thinketh upon me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; My God! make no delay!
