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.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors 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 assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!

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

For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,

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

To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.

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

They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”

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

They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.

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

But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.

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

Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.

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

The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
