Salamo 60
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira Al-sho-shanedoth. Miktama nataon’ i Davida hampianarana, fony izy nanafika an’ i Mesopotamia sy Arama-zoba tamin’ ny niverenan’ i Joaba ka namelezany ny Edomita roa arivo amby iray alin-dahy teo amin’ ny lohasahan-tsira. Andriamanitra ô, efa nanary sy nampihahaka anay Hianao; efa tezitra Hianao, velombelomy izahay.
For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
2 Efa nampihorohoro ny tany Hianao ka namaky azy; amboary izay rava aminy, fa mihozongozona izy.
Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3 Efa nampahita ny olonao zava-tsarotra Hianao, ary efa nampisotro anay divay mampiraikiraiky.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Efa notoloranao faneva ny matahotra Anao, hatsangany noho ny fahamarinana. (Sela)
Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
5 Mba hahafahan’ ny malalanao, dia vonjeo amin’ ny tananao ankavanana aho, ka valio.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: hifaly Aho ka hizara an’ i Sekema; ary ny lohasahan’ i Sokota horefesiko;
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7 Ahy Gileada, Ahy koa Manase; ary aron’ ny lohako Efraima tehim-panjakako Joda;
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
8 Tavin-dranoko fanasana Moaba; Edoma no anipazako ny kapako; mihobia noho ny amiko, ry Filistia.
Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9 Iza no hitondra ahy ho any an-tanàna mafy? iza no hitarika ahy ho any Edoma?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 Tsy Hianao va, Izay efa nanary anay, Andriamanitra ô. Sady tsy nivoaka niaraka tamin’ ny antokon’ ny miaramilanay, Andriamanitra ô?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?
11 Vonjeo amin’ ny mpandrafy izahay; fa zava-poana ny famonjena ataon’ ny olona.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12 Andriamanitra no haherezantsika; fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.
In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
