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 chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.

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

Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.

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

They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,

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

so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.

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

They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”

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

They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.

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

But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.

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

They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.

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

All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.

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

The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
