Salamo 59
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Miktama nataon’ i Davida, fony Saoly naniraka, ka nisy niambina ny trano hamonoana azy. Afaho amin’ ny fahavaloko aho, Andriamanitro ô; asondroty eo amin’ ny avo aho tsy ho azon’ izay miodina amiko.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
2 Afaho amin’ ny mpanao ratsy aho, ary vonjeo amin’ ny mpandatsa-drà.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
3 Fa, indro, manotrika hahazo ny aiko izy; miangona hanohitra ahy ny mahery, nefa tsy fahadisoako ary tsy fahotako, Jehovah ô.
See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
4 Tsy heloko no ihazakazahany sy iomanany, koa mifohaza hitsena ahy, ka jereo.
For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
5 Ary Hianao, Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, mifohaza hitsara ny firenen-tsamy hafa; aza mamindra fo amin’ izay mpivadika ratsy fanahy. (Sela)
O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
6 Miverina nony hariva ireny ka mierona tahaka ny alika, sady mandehandeha eran’ ny tanàna.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
7 Indro, mirezadrezatra amin’ ny vavany izy; sabatra no eo amin’ ny molony, fa iza, hono, no handre?
See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
8 Kanjo Hianao, Jehovah ô, hihomehy azy; Hianao haneso ny firenena rehetra.
But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
9 Koa noho ny herin’ ireny dia hiandry Anao aho; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy.
I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
10 Andriamanitra, Izay mamindra fo amiko, no hialoha ahy; hataon’ Andriamanitra faly mijery ny amin’ ny fahavaloko aho.
My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
11 Aza mahafaty azy Hianao, fandrao hanadino izany ny fireneko. Ampirenireneo amin’ ny herinao izy, ka aripaho, ry Tompo ô, Ampinganay.
Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12 Ny fahotan’ ny vavany dia ny tenin’ ny molony; aoka hosamborina amin’ ny fireharehany izy, eny, noho ny ozona sy ny lainga ataony.
By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
13 Aringano an-katezerana izy, aringano mba tsy ho ao intsony; ary aoka ho fantany fa Andriamanitra no manapaka eo amin’ ny Jakoba ka hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany. (Sela)
Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
14 Ary miverina nony hariva ireny ka mierona tahaka ny alika, sady mandehandeha eran’ ny tanàna.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
15 Miriorio mitady hanina izy; raha tsy voky izy, dia any ihany mandritra ny alina.
They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
16 Fa izaho kosa dia hihira ny herinao, ary hihoby ny famindram-ponao nony maraina, satria fiarovana avo ho ahy Hianao, ary fandosirako amin’ ny andro fahoriana.
But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17 Ry Heriko ô, Hianao no hankalazaiko; fa Andriamanitra no fiarovana avo ho ahy, dia Andriamanitra Izay mamindra fo amiko.
To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
