Salamo 56

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-jonathelem-rehokim. Miktama nataon’ i Davida, fony nisambotra azy tany Gata ny Filistina. Mamindrà fo amiko, Andriamanitra ô, fa misafoaka manenjika ahy ny olona; miady amiko mandrakariva izy ka mampahory ahy.

For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.

2 Misafoaka manenjika mandrakariva ny mpampahory ahy; maro tokoa no mirehareha miady amiko.

They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

3 Amin’ ny andro atahorako no itokiako Anao.

In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.

4 Andriamanitra no iderako ny teniny; Andriamanitra no itokiako, ka tsy mba hatahotra aho; inona no hataon’ ny nofo amiko?

In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

5 Manimba ny raharahako mandra-kariva ireny; ny heviny rehetra dia ny hanisy ratsy ahy ihany.

All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Miangona izy, miery izy, mitsongo-dia ahy izy, satria mikendry ny aiko.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

7 Amin’ izany faharatsiany izany moa hisy hahafahany va? Aripaho amin’ ny fahatezeranao ny firenena. Andriamanitra ô.

Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.

8 Manisa ny firenireneko Hianao; ataovy ao an-tavoahanginao ny ranomasoko; tsy eo amin’ ny bokinao va ireny?

Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?

9 Amin’ izay dia hiamboho ny fahavaloko amin’ ny andro hiantsoako Anao; izao dia fantatro, fa momba ahy Andriamanitra.

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.

10 Andriamanitra no iderako ny teniny; Jehovah no iderako ny teniny.

In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —

11 Andriamanitra no itokiako; ka tsy mba hatahotra aho; inona no hataon’ ny olona amiko?

In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

12 Nivoady taminao aho, Andriamanitra ô, dia hanatitra fanati-pisaorana ho Anao.

Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

13 Fa efa nanafaka ny fanahiko tamin’ ny fahafatesana Hianao; eny, nanafaka ny tongotro Hianao mba tsy ho solafaka. Handehanako eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fahazavan’ ny velona.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
