Salamo 41

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

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time 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 keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.

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

The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.

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

Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.

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

Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?

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

And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.

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

All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.

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

A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.

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

Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.

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

Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.

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

By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.

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

And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.

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

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.
