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.
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Misafoaka manenjika mandrakariva ny mpampahory ahy; maro tokoa no mirehareha miady amiko.
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 Amin’ ny andro atahorako no itokiako Anao.
What time I am afraid, I will 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 I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Manimba ny raharahako mandra-kariva ireny; ny heviny rehetra dia ny hanisy ratsy ahy ihany.
Every day they wrest my words: 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, when they wait for my soul.
7 Amin’ izany faharatsiany izany moa hisy hahafahany va? Aripaho amin’ ny fahatezeranao ny firenena. Andriamanitra ô.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Manisa ny firenireneko Hianao; ataovy ao an-tavoahanginao ny ranomasoko; tsy eo amin’ ny bokinao va ireny?
Thou tellest 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.
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 Andriamanitra no iderako ny teniny; Jehovah no iderako ny teniny.
In God will I praise his word: in Yhwh will I praise his word.
11 Andriamanitra no itokiako; ka tsy mba hatahotra aho; inona no hataon’ ny olona amiko?
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can 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 praises 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: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
