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.

I waited patiently for Adonai. He turned to me, and sh'ma ·heard obeyed· 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 brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

3 Ary nanisy fihiram-baovao teo am-bavako Izy, dia fideràna an’ Andriamanitsika; maro no hahita sy hatahotra ary hatoky an’ i Jehovah.

He has put a new song in my mouth, even tehilah ·praise song· to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Adonai.

4 Sambatra izay olona manao an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny, ka tsy mivily ho naman’ ny mpiavonavona na ny mpivadika ho amin’ ny lainga.

Blessed is the man who makes Adonai his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

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, Adonai, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

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;

Sacrifices and offerings you don’t want; burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin ·missing the goal· you have not required. Instead, you have opened my ears.

7 Dia hoy izaho: inty aho tonga ao amin’ ny horonam-boky no nanoratana ahy.

So then I said, “Behold, I have come! In the scroll of a book it is written about me.

8 Ny hanao ny sitraponao, Andriamanitra ô, no sitrako; ary ny lalanao no ato anatiko.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your Torah ·Teaching· is within 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 glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Adonai, you know.

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 have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your chesed ·loving-kindness· and your 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.

Don’t withhold your tender rachamim ·merciful loves· from me, Adonai. Let your chesed ·loving-kindness· and your 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 innumerable evils have surrounded me. My depravities (moral evils) have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

13 Aoka ho sitraky ny fonao, Jehovah ô, ny hanafaka ahy; Jehovah ô, faingàna hamonjy ahy.

Be pleased, Adonai, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Adonai.

14 Aoka ho indray menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanimba ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy ho menatra izay mankasitraka ahy ho ory.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

15 Aoka ho ankona noho ny fahamenarany ireny manao amiko hoe: Hià! sakoa izay!

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell 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.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let all who 'ahav ·affectionately love· your salvation say continually, “Let Adonai be exalted and magnified!”

17 Fa na dia ory sy malahelo aza aho, ny Tompo no mihevitra ahy; Mpamonjy sy Mpanafaka ahy Hianao; aza ela, Andriamanitro ô.

But I am poor and needy. May 'Adonay [Lord] think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.
