Salamo 69
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-shoshanim. Nataon’ i Davida. Vonjeo aho, Andriamanitra ô; fa efa mihatra amin’ ny aiko ny rano.
To the Chief Musician. On "The Lilies." David’s. Save me, O God, For waters have entered as far as the life;
2 Milentika amin’ ny fotaka mandrevo aho, ka tsy misy hifaharana; efa miditra amin’ ny rano lalina aho, ka mandifotra ahy ny riaka.
I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;
3 Sasatry ny mitaraina aho, maimay ny tendako; pahina ny masoko, raha miandry an’ Andriamanitro aho.
I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat, —Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God.
4 Maro noho ny volon-dohako ny isan’ izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana; mahery izay ta-hahafaty ahy, dia ny fahavaloko tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana; mampanonitra ahy izay tsy nalaiko izy.
More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause, —Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause, —What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore.
5 Andriamanitra ô, Hianao mahalala ny hadalako; ary ny heloko tsy mba miafina aminao.
O God, thou, hast known my folly, And, my wrong-doings, from thee, have not been hid.
6 Aoka tsy ho menatra noho ny amiko izay miandry Anao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô; aoka tsy ho very hevitra noho ny amiko izay mitady Anao, ry Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô.
Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, —Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel!
7 Fa noho ny aminao no itondrako latsa; safotry ny henatra ny tavako.
Because, for thy sake, have I borne reproach, Confusion hath covered my face;
8 Efa vahiny amin’ ny rahalahiko aho; eny, efa olon-ko azy amin’ ny zanak’ ineny aho.
One estranged, have I become, to my own brethren, Yea, an alien, to the sons of my own mother;
9 Fa ny firehetako ny amin’ ny tranonao no naharitra aina ahy; ary ny latsa nataon’ izay nandatsa Anao dia nihatra tamiko.
Because, zeal for thy house, hath eaten me up, And, the reproaches of them who have reproached thee, have fallen upon me.
10 Nitomany sady nifady hanina aho, dia natao latsa ho ahy izany.
When I have humbled my soul with fasting, Then hath it turned to my reproach;
11 Lamba fisaonana no nataoko fitafiako, dia efa ambentinteny tamin’ ireny aho.
When I have made my clothing of sackcloth, Then have I served them for a by-word;
12 Miresaka ahy izay mipetraka eo am-bavahady; ary ataon’ ny mpisotro toaka an-kira aho.
They who sit in the gate talk against me, —And [against me are] the songs of them who imbibe strong drink.
13 Fa izaho hivavaka aminao amin’ ny andro fankasitrahana, Jehovah ô, dia aminao, Andriamanitra ô noho ny haben’ ny famindram-ponao; valio aho araka ny hamarinan’ ny famonjenao.
But, as for me, my prayer shall be unto thee, O Yahweh, in a time of acceptance, O God, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, answer me with thy saving faithfulness.
14 Afaho amin’ ny fotaka aho, ka aza avela hilentika; vonjeo aho amin’ izay mankahala ahy sy amin’ ny rano lalina.
Rescue me out of the mire, lest I sink, Let me be rescued, From my haters, and, From abysses of waters:
15 Aza avela hanafotra ahy ny rano mandriaka, na hitelina ahy ny lalina; ary aza avela hikatom-bava amiko ny lavaka fantsakana.
Let not a flood of waters overflow me, And let not the depth swallow me up, Neither let the well close, over me, her mouth.
16 Valio aho, Jehovah ô, fa tsara ny famindram-ponao; todiho aho araka ny haben’ ny fiantranao.
Answer me, O Yahweh, for good is thy lovingkindness, According to the abounding of thy compassions, turn thou towards me:
17 Ary aza manafina ny tavanao amin’ ny mpanomponao; fa azom-pahoriana aho, koa faingàna hamaly ahy Hianao.
Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou—answer me!
18 Hatony ny fanahiko, avoty izy; Eny, vonjeo aho noho ny ataon’ ny fahavaloko.
Oh draw near unto my soul—redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me.
19 Hianao no mahalala ny latsa mihatra amiko ary ny fahamenarako sy ny fahafaham-boninahitro; Eo anatrehanao ny mpandrafy ahy rehetra.
Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries.
20 Ny latsa dia nanorotoro ny foko ka reraka indrindra aho; ary niandry antra aho, fa tsy nisy, sy mpanony fa tsy nahita.
Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak, —Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.
21 Fa zava-mangidy no nomeny ho haniko; ary vinaingitra no natolony ahy hosotroina, raha nangetaheta aho.
But they put in my food—poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink—vinegar!
22 Aoka ho fandrika ho azy ny latabany eo anoloany; eny, ho tonta ho an’ ny tsy manana ahiahy.
Let their table, before them, become a snare, And unto their friends, a lure;
23 Aoka ho jamba ny masony mba tsy hahita; ary ampangozohozoy mandrakariva ny valahany.
Let their eyes become too dim to see, And, their loins, continually cause thou to shake;
24 Aidino aminy ny fahatezeranao; ary aoka hahatratra azy ny firehetan’ ny fahaviniranao.
Pour out over them thine indignation, And let, the glow of thine anger, overtake them:
25 Aoka ho foana ny tobiny; aza avela hisy hitoetra ao an-dainy.
Let their encampment become desolate, In their tents, be there none to dwell:
26 Fa izay nasianao no nenjehiny; Ary ny fahararian’ ny voatsindronao dia lazalazainy.
For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.
27 Aoka hiampy ny helony; ary aoka tsy hiditra amin’ ny fahamarinanao izy.
Lay punishment on their iniquity, And let them not enter into thy righteousness;
28 Aoka hovonoina tsy ho eo amin’ ny bokin’ ny velona ny anarany, ary aoka tsy hosoratana eo amin’ ny marina.
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And, with the righteous, let them not be enrolled.
29 Fa izaho dia ory sy mahantra, Andriamanitra ô; aoka ny famonjenao no hanandratra ahy.
I, then, am humbled and in pain, Thy salvation, O God, may it set me on high.
30 Hankalaza ny anaran’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fihirana aho, ary hidera Azy amin’ ny fisaorana.
I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving;
31 Fa ho sitrak’ i Jehovah Izany mihoatra noho ny vantotr’ ombilahy, izay manan-tandroka sady mivaky kitro.
So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn [and] divided hoof.
32 Hahita izany ny mpandefitra ka ho faly; aoka ho velona ny fonareo, ry mpitady an’ Andriamanitra.
The humbled have seen—they rejoice! Ye seekers of God, let your heart, then, revive;
33 Fa mihaino ny malahelo Jehovah, ary ny olony mifatotra tsy mba hamavoiny.
For, a Hearkener to the needy, is Yahweh, And, his prisoners, hath he not despised.
34 Aoka hidera Azy ny lanitra sy ny tany, ny ranomasina sy izay rehetra mihetsika ao aminy.
Let the heavens and the earth, praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein.
35 Fa Andriamanitra hamonjy an’ i Ziona sady hanangana ny tanànan’ ny Joda; ary hitoetra ao ny olony ka ho tompony;
For, God, will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, So shall men dwell there, and possess it:
36 Dia handova azy ny taranaky ny mpanompony; ary hitoetra ao izay tia ny anarany.
Yea, the seed of his servants, shall inherit it, And, the lovers of his Name, shall settle down therein.
