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 leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!
2 Efa nampihorohoro ny tany Hianao ka namaky azy; amboary izay rava aminy, fa mihozongozona izy.
Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
3 Efa nampahita ny olonao zava-tsarotra Hianao, ary efa nampisotro anay divay mampiraikiraiky.
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4 Efa notoloranao faneva ny matahotra Anao, hatsangany noho ny fahamarinana. (Sela)
Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
5 Mba hahafahan’ ny malalanao, dia vonjeo amin’ ny tananao ankavanana aho, ka valio.
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
6 Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: hifaly Aho ka hizara an’ i Sekema; ary ny lohasahan’ i Sokota horefesiko;
God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Ahy Gileada, Ahy koa Manase; ary aron’ ny lohako Efraima tehim-panjakako Joda;
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
8 Tavin-dranoko fanasana Moaba; Edoma no anipazako ny kapako; mihobia noho ny amiko, ry Filistia.
Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
9 Iza no hitondra ahy ho any an-tanàna mafy? iza no hitarika ahy ho any Edoma?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
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 didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
11 Vonjeo amin’ ny mpandrafy izahay; fa zava-poana ny famonjena ataon’ ny olona.
Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
12 Andriamanitra no haherezantsika; fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
