Salamo 41

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Sambatra izay mahatsiaro ny malahelo; Jehovah hamonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

2 Jehovah hitandrina sy hiaro azy tsy ho faty; hatao ho sambatra ambonin’ ny tany izy, ary tsy mba hatolotrao amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny fahavalony.

The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.

3 Jehovah hanohana azy eo ambonin’ ny farafara hitsaboana azy. Ny fandriany rehetra eo am-paharariany dia hovanao.

The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

4 Hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko; sitrano ny fanahiko, fa efa nanota taminao aho.

I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

5 Ny fahavaloko maniry ahy ho simba ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho faty izy, ka ho very ny anarany?

My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

6 Ary raha avy mamangy, izy dia miteny zava-poana; ny fony mamory faharatsiana ho an’ ny tenany; mivoaka eny ivelany izy ka milazalaza.

My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

7 Mitakoritsika ahy izay rehetra mankahala ahy; misaina hanisy ratsy ahy izy.

All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

8 Tena zava-dratsy, hoy izy, no aidina aminy; ary raha mandry izy dia tsy hitsangana intsony.

“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

9 Eny, ny sakaizako, izay maha-toky ahy sady nihinana ny haniko, no nanangana ny ombelahin-tongony hamely ahy.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 Fa ianao kosa Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka atsangano aho mba hamaliako azy.

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 Izao no hahafantarako fa mankasitraka ahy Hianao, dia ny tsy anakoran’ ny fahavaloko ahy.

By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 Ary ny amiko, dia manohana ahy amin’ ny fahitsiako Hianao, ka mampitoetra ahy eo anatrehanao mandrakizay.

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

13 Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin’ ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
