Salamo 64

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Henoy ny feoko, raha mitaraina aho, Andriamanitra ô; arovy ny aiko amin’ ny tahotro ny fahavalo.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

2 Afeno aho tsy ho azon’ ny firaisan-tetiky ny ratsy fanahy, sy ny fitabataban’ ny mpanao ratsy,

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

3 Izay mandranitra ny lelany ho tahaka ny sabatra, ka mikendry handefa ny zana-tsipìkany, dia teny mangidy.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

4 Mba hitifitra mangingina ny mahitsy; mitifitra azy tampoka izy ka tsy matahotra.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Hamafiny ny hevi-dratsiny; mifampitaona hanao fandri-totofana izy ka manao hoe: iza no hahita izany?

They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

6 Manao saim-petsy izy; omaniny tsara ny sain-dalina voaheviny; lalina ny ao anatin’ ny olombelona, dia ny fony.

They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

7 Mitifitra azy Andriamanitra; tampoka toy ny fiantefan’ ny zana-tsipìka no fahavoazany.

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

8 Apotrany izy ka voasingotra ny lelany ihany; mandositra izay rehetra mahita azy.

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

9 Dia matahotra ny olona rehetra ka manambara ny ataon’ Andriamanitra sady mandinika tsara ny asany.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

10 Mifaly amin’ i Jehovah ny marina ka mialoka aminy; eny, mifaly tena ny mahitsy fo rehetra.

The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
