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.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil 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 am restless in my complaint, and moan;
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 sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Tahotra sy hovitra no mahazo ahy, ary manafotra ahy ny horohoro.
Fearfulness 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! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Eny, handositra lavitra aho ka hitoetra any an-efitra. (Sela)
Lo, then would I wander far 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 haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.
9 Aringano izy, ary akoroy ny fiteniny, Tompo ô; fa mahita loza sy ady ao an-tanàna aho.
Destroy, O Lord, [and] 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 upon the walls thereof: iniquity also 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.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: oppression and guile depart not from her 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 an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 Fa ianao, lehilahy mitovy saranga amiko, namako sy sakaizako indrindra,
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 Dia isika izay nifankamamy resaka ka niara-nandeha tamin’ ny maro ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra.
We took sweet counsel together, we walked in the house of God with 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 come suddenly upon them, let them go down alive into the pit: for wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Raha izaho, dia Andriamanitra no hantsoiko; ary Jehovah no hamonjy ahy.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Hariva sy maraina ary mitatao vovonana no hitarainako sy hitolokoako; dia hihaino ny feoko Izy,
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan: and he shall 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 that was against me: for they were many [that strove] with me.
19 Hihaino Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka hatramin’ ny taloha, (Sela) ka hamaly ireo olona tsy miova toetra, sady tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra.
God shall hear, and answer them, even he that abideth of old, (Selah) [the men] who have no changes, and who 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 were 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.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war: his words were softer than oil, yet were 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 the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall 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.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
