Salamo 44
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ ny Koraïta. Maskila. Ny sofinay no nandrenesanay, Andriamanitra ô, ny razanay nilaza taminay ny asa nataonao tamin’ ny androny, dia tamin’ ny andro fahiny.
Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, toward understanding. We have heard, O God, with our own ears. Our fathers have announced to us the work that you wrought in their days and in the days of antiquity.
2 Ny tananao no nandroahanao ny firenen-tsamy hafa, fa izy kosa nampitoerinao; efa nampahorinao ny firenena maro, fa izy kosa nataonao mahafeno tany.
Your hand dispersed the Gentiles, and you transplanted them. You afflicted a people, and you expelled them.
3 Fa tsy ny sabany no nahazoany ny tany, ary tsy ny sandriny no namonjy azy; fa ny tananao ankavanana sy ny sandrinao ary ny fahazavan’ ny tavanao, satria efa sitrakao izy.
For they did not take possession of the land by their sword, and their own arm did not save them. But your right hand and your arm, and the light of your countenance did so, because you were pleased with them.
4 Hianao dia Hianao no Mpanjakako, Andriamanitra ô; Mandidia famonjena ho an’ i Jakoba.
You yourself are my king and my God, who commands the salvation of Jacob.
5 Hianao no hanosehanay ny fahavalonay; ny anaranao no hanitsahanay izay mitsangana hamely anay.
With you, we will brandish a horn before our enemies; and in your name, we will spurn those rising up against us.
6 Fa tsy ny tsipikako no itokiako, ary ny sabatro tsy hahavonjy ahy.
For I will not hope in my bow, and my sword will not save me.
7 Fa namonjy anay tamin’ ny fahavalonay Hianao, ary ny nankahala anay dia nataonao menatra.
For you have saved us from those who afflict us, and you have bewildered those who hate us.
8 Andriamanitra no ankalazainay mandrakariva; ary ny anaranao no hoderainay mandrakizay. (Sela)
In God, we will give praise all day long; and in your name, we will confess forever.
9 Fa efa nanary anay ianao ka nampahamenatra anay, ary tsy mba mivoaka miaraka amin’ ny antokon’ ny miaramilanay Hianao.
But now, you have rejected and bewildered us, and you will not go forth with our armies, O God.
10 Ataonao miamboho ny fahavalonay izahay, koa ny mankahala anay dia nanaram-po namabo.
You have turned our back to our enemies, and those who hated us have plundered for themselves.
11 Atolotrao tahaka ny ondry hohanina izahay, ary aelinao any amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa.
You have given us over like sheep for food. You have scattered us among the Gentiles.
12 Mivarotra ny olonao tsy vola tsy harena Hianao, ka tsy mahazo tombony amin’ ny vidiny.
You have sold your people without a price, and no great number was exchanged for them.
13 Ataonao fandatsan’ ny olona miray monina aminay izahay, dia fanakora sy faneson’ izay manodidina anay.
You have set us as a disgrace to our neighbors, a scoff and a derision to those who are around us.
14 Ataonao ho ambentinteny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa izahay, dia fihifikifihan-doha amin’ ny olona maro.
You have set us as a parable among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 Tsaroako mandrakariva ny fahafaham-boninahitro, ary efa manafotra ahy ny fangaihaizako,
All day long my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
16 Noho ny feon’ ny mpanaratsy sy ny mpanamavo, noho ny fahavalo sy ny mpamaly ratsy.
before the voice of the reproacher and the commentator, before the face of the adversary and the pursuer.
17 Izany rehetra izany no manjo anay, nefa tsy manadino anao izahay ary tsy mivadika ny fanekenao.
All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you, and we have not acted unjustly in your covenant.
18 Tsy mihemotra ny fonay, ary tsy miala amin’ ny lalanao ny dianay.
And our heart has not turned back. And you have not diverted our steps from your way.
19 Nefa Hianao nanorotoro anay teo amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny amboadia sy nanarona anay tamin’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana.
For you humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
20 Raha nanadino ny anaran’ Andriamanitray izahay, na nananty tanana tamin’ ny andriamani-kafa,
If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have extended our hands to a foreign god,
21 Tsy handinika izany va Andriamanitra? Fa Izy mahalala ny miafina ao am-po.
will not God find this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Fa noho ny aminao no amonoana anay mandrakariva; toy ny ondry hovonoina no fijery anay.
For, because of you, we are being killed all day long. We are considered as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Mifohaza, ry Tompo ô, nahoana no matory Hianao? Mitsangàna, aza manary mandrakizay.
Rise up. Why do you fall asleep, O Lord? Rise up, and do not reject us in the end.
24 Nahoana no manafina ny tavanao Hianao, ka manadino ny fahantranay sy ny fahorianay?
Why do you turn your face away, and why do you forget our needfulness and our tribulation?
25 Fa miankohoka amin’ ny vovoka ny fanahinay, miraikitra amin’ ny tany ny kibonay.
For our soul has been humbled into the dust. Our belly has been bound to the earth.
26 Mitsangàna hamonjy anay, ary avoty izahay araka ny famindram-ponao.
Rise up, O Lord. Help us and redeem us, because of your name.
