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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

2 Efa nampihorohoro ny tany Hianao ka namaky azy; amboary izay rava aminy, fa mihozongozona izy.

You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

3 Efa nampahita ny olonao zava-tsarotra Hianao, ary efa nampisotro anay divay mampiraikiraiky.

You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

4 Efa notoloranao faneva ny matahotra Anao, hatsangany noho ny fahamarinana. (Sela)

You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

5 Mba hahafahan’ ny malalanao, dia vonjeo amin’ ny tananao ankavanana aho, ka valio.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

6 Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ ny fahamasinany hoe: hifaly Aho ka hizara an’ i Sekema; ary ny lohasahan’ i Sokota horefesiko;

God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Ahy Gileada, Ahy koa Manase; ary aron’ ny lohako Efraima tehim-panjakako Joda;

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defence of my head. Judah is my sceptre.

8 Tavin-dranoko fanasana Moaba; Edoma no anipazako ny kapako; mihobia noho ny amiko, ry Filistia.

Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

9 Iza no hitondra ahy ho any an-tanàna mafy? iza no hitarika ahy ho any Edoma?

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

10 Tsy Hianao va, Izay efa nanary anay, Andriamanitra ô. Sady tsy nivoaka niaraka tamin’ ny antokon’ ny miaramilanay, Andriamanitra ô?

Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

11 Vonjeo amin’ ny mpandrafy izahay; fa zava-poana ny famonjena ataon’ ny olona.

Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

12 Andriamanitra no haherezantsika; fa Izy no hanitsakitsaka ny fahavalontsika.

Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
