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. A contemplation by David. Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
2 Henoy aho, ka valio; miriorio ny eritreritro, ka mitoloko aho,
Attend to 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 bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 Mangorohoro ato anatiko ny foko, ary mamely ahy ny tahotra ny fahafatesana.
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Tahotra sy hovitra no mahazo ahy, ary manafotra ahy ny horohoro.
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Ka hoy izaho: enga anie ka manana elatra tahaka ny voromailala aho, dia handositra aho ka hahita izay hitoerako;
I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Eny, handositra lavitra aho ka hitoetra any an-efitra. (Sela)
Behold, then I would 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 hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
9 Aringano izy, ary akoroy ny fiteniny, Tompo ô; fa mahita loza sy ady ao an-tanàna aho.
Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, 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 prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
11 Ratsy no ao anatiny; ary ny fitaka sy ny fanangolena tsy mba miala amin’ ny lalàmbeny.
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart 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 who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
13 Fa ianao, lehilahy mitovy saranga amiko, namako sy sakaizako indrindra,
But it was you, a man like me, 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 fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with 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 death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
16 Raha izaho, dia Andriamanitra no hantsoiko; ary Jehovah no hamonjy ahy.
As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.
17 Hariva sy maraina ary mitatao vovonana no hitarainako sy hitolokoako; dia hihaino ny feoko Izy,
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. 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 has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
19 Hihaino Andriamanitra, Izay mipetraka hatramin’ ny taloha, (Sela) ka hamaly ireo olona tsy miova toetra, sady tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra.
God, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. (Selah) They never change and don’t fear God.
20 Efa naninjitra ny tànany hamely izay nihavana taminy izy; namadika ny fanekeny izy.
He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated 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 they were drawn swords.
22 Apetraho amin’ i Jehovah ny entanao, ary Izy no hanohana anao; tsy havelany hangozohozo mandrakizay ny marina.
Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow 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 you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
