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 end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

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

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 Amin’ ny andro atahorako no itokiako Anao.

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

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 my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

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

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

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

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

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

You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.

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

O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.

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

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.

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

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

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

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

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

The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

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 you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
