Salamo 55
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny valiha. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Mihainoa ny fivavako, Andriamanitra ô, ary aza miery amin’ ny fitarainako.
To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
2 Henoy aho, ka valio; miriorio ny eritreritro, ka mitoloko aho,
Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
3 Noho ny feon’ ny fahavalo sy ny fampahorian’ ny ratsy fanahy; fa mampianjera loza amiko ireny, ary amin’ ny fahatezerana no ankahalany ahy.
I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
4 Mangorohoro ato anatiko ny foko, ary mamely ahy ny tahotra ny fahafatesana.
My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
5 Tahotra sy hovitra no mahazo ahy, ary manafotra ahy ny horohoro.
Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
6 Ka hoy izaho: enga anie ka manana elatra tahaka ny voromailala aho, dia handositra aho ka hahita izay hitoerako;
And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
7 Eny, handositra lavitra aho ka hitoetra any an-efitra. (Sela)
I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
8 Handeha faingana aho hamonjy fialofana, mba tsy ho azon’ ny tafio-drivotra sy ny ranonoram-baratra.
I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
9 Aringano izy, ary akoroy ny fiteniny, Tompo ô; fa mahita loza sy ady ao an-tanàna aho.
Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
10 Hodidininy andro aman’ alina eny ambonin ny mandany io; ary heloka sy fampahoriana no ao aminy;
By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
11 Ratsy no ao anatiny; ary ny fitaka sy ny fanangolena tsy mba miala amin’ ny lalàmbeny.
Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
12 Fa tsy fahavalo no nanaratsy ahy, ― fa raha izany, dia niaritra ihany aho; tsy olona nankahala ahy no nanandra-tena namely ahy, fa raha izany, dia niery azy aho;
For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
13 Fa ianao, lehilahy mitovy saranga amiko, namako sy sakaizako indrindra,
But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
14 Dia isika izay nifankamamy resaka ka niara-nandeha tamin’ ny maro ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra.
We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
15 Aoka hanampoka azy ny fahafatesana. Aoka hidina velona any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy; fa ratsy no ao amin’ ny fonenany, dia ao afovoany. (Sheol h7585)
Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
16 Raha izaho, dia Andriamanitra no hantsoiko; ary Jehovah no hamonjy ahy.
As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
17 Hariva sy maraina ary mitatao vovonana no hitarainako sy hitolokoako; dia hihaino ny feoko Izy,
In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
18 Ka hanavotra ny fanahiko ho amin’ ny fiadanana hahafahako amin’ ny adin’ ireny amiko, fa maro no miady amiko.
He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
19 Hihaino Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka hatramin’ ny taloha, (Sela) ka hamaly ireo olona tsy miova toetra, sady tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra.
God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
20 Efa naninjitra ny tànany hamely izay nihavana taminy izy; namadika ny fanekeny izy.
He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
21 Malambo noho ny rononomandry ny vavany, kanjo ady no ao am-pony; malemy noho ny diloilo ny teniny, kanjo sabatra voatsoaka ireny.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
22 Apetraho amin’ i Jehovah ny entanao, ary Izy no hanohana anao; tsy havelany hangozohozo mandrakizay ny marina.
Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
23 Fa Hianao, Andriamanitra ô, no hampidina ireo any an-davaka fanimbana; ny mpandatsa-drà sy mpamitaka tsy hahatratra ny an-tsasaky ny androny; fa izaho kosa dia hatoky Anao.
But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
