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 Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Henoy aho, ka valio; miriorio ny eritreritro, ka mitoloko aho,
Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,
3 Noho ny feon’ ny fahavalo sy ny fampahorian’ ny ratsy fanahy; fa mampianjera loza amiko ireny, ary amin’ ny fahatezerana no ankahalany ahy.
Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 Mangorohoro ato anatiko ny foko, ary mamely ahy ny tahotra ny fahafatesana.
My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Tahotra sy hovitra no mahazo ahy, ary manafotra ahy ny horohoro.
Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 Ka hoy izaho: enga anie ka manana elatra tahaka ny voromailala aho, dia handositra aho ka hahita izay hitoerako;
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;
7 Eny, handositra lavitra aho ka hitoetra any an-efitra. (Sela)
Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; (Selah)
8 Handeha faingana aho hamonjy fialofana, mba tsy ho azon’ ny tafio-drivotra sy ny ranonoram-baratra.
I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.
9 Aringano izy, ary akoroy ny fiteniny, Tompo ô; fa mahita loza sy ady ao an-tanàna aho.
Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Hodidininy andro aman’ alina eny ambonin ny mandany io; ary heloka sy fampahoriana no ao aminy;
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Ratsy no ao anatiny; ary ny fitaka sy ny fanangolena tsy mba miala amin’ ny lalàmbeny.
Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its 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 is not an enemy that hath reproached me — then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me — then would I have hidden myself from him;
13 Fa ianao, lehilahy mitovy saranga amiko, namako sy sakaizako indrindra,
But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...
14 Dia isika izay nifankamamy resaka ka niara-nandeha tamin’ ny maro ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra.
We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.
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 death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
16 Raha izaho, dia Andriamanitra no hantsoiko; ary Jehovah no hamonjy ahy.
As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.
17 Hariva sy maraina ary mitatao vovonana no hitarainako sy hitolokoako; dia hihaino ny feoko Izy,
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.
18 Ka hanavotra ny fanahiko ho amin’ ny fiadanana hahafahako amin’ ny adin’ ireny amiko, fa maro no miady amiko.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.
19 Hihaino Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka hatramin’ ny taloha, (Sela) ka hamaly ireo olona tsy miova toetra, sady tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra.
God will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ...because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.
20 Efa naninjitra ny tànany hamely izay nihavana taminy izy; namadika ny fanekeny izy.
He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
21 Malambo noho ny rononomandry ny vavany, kanjo ady no ao am-pony; malemy noho ny diloilo ny teniny, kanjo sabatra voatsoaka ireny.
Smooth were the milky [words] of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
22 Apetraho amin’ i Jehovah ny entanao, ary Izy no hanohana anao; tsy havelany hangozohozo mandrakizay ny marina.
Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to 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.
And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.
