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.
For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of David. Save me, God; for the waters have put my life in danger.
2 Milentika amin’ ny fotaka mandrevo aho, ka tsy misy hifaharana; efa miditra amin’ ny rano lalina aho, ka mandifotra ahy ny riaka.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no place to stand; I have come into deep waters, where the floods flow over me.
3 Sasatry ny mitaraina aho, maimay ny tendako; pahina ny masoko, raha miandry an’ Andriamanitro aho.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait 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.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head; those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty; what I did not steal, I have to give back.
5 Andriamanitra ô, Hianao mahalala ny hadalako; ary ny heloko tsy mba miafina aminao.
God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from you.
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 not those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, God of Israel.
7 Fa noho ny aminao no itondrako latsa; safotry ny henatra ny tavako.
For your sake I have borne rebuke; shame has covered my face.
8 Efa vahiny amin’ ny rahalahiko aho; eny, efa olon-ko azy amin’ ny zanak’ ineny aho.
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's children.
9 Fa ny firehetako ny amin’ ny tranonao no naharitra aina ahy; ary ny latsa nataon’ izay nandatsa Anao dia nihatra tamiko.
For the zeal of your house has eaten me up, and the rebukes of those who rebuke you have fallen on me.
10 Nitomany sady nifady hanina aho, dia natao latsa ho ahy izany.
When I wept and did not eat food, they insulted me.
11 Lamba fisaonana no nataoko fitafiako, dia efa ambentinteny tamin’ ireny aho.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became the object of a proverb to them.
12 Miresaka ahy izay mipetraka eo am-bavahady; ary ataon’ ny mpisotro toaka an-kira aho.
Those who sit in the city gate talk about me; I am a song of drunkards.
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 is to you, Yahweh, at a time that you will accept; answer me in the trustworthiness of your salvation.
14 Afaho amin’ ny fotaka aho, ka aza avela hilentika; vonjeo aho amin’ izay mankahala ahy sy amin’ ny rano lalina.
Pull me out of the mire, and do not let me sink; let me be taken away from those who hate me and rescued out of the deep waters.
15 Aza avela hanafotra ahy ny rano mandriaka, na hitelina ahy ny lalina; ary aza avela hikatom-bava amiko ny lavaka fantsakana.
Do not let the floods of water overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Valio aho, Jehovah ô, fa tsara ny famindram-ponao; todiho aho araka ny haben’ ny fiantranao.
Answer me, Yahweh, for your covenant faithfulness is good; because your mercies for me are many, turn to me.
17 Ary aza manafina ny tavanao amin’ ny mpanomponao; fa azom-pahoriana aho, koa faingàna hamaly ahy Hianao.
Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly.
18 Hatony ny fanahiko, avoty izy; Eny, vonjeo aho noho ny ataon’ ny fahavaloko.
Come to me and redeem me. Because of my enemies, ransom me.
19 Hianao no mahalala ny latsa mihatra amiko ary ny fahamenarako sy ny fahafaham-boninahitro; Eo anatrehanao ny mpandrafy ahy rehetra.
You know my rebuke, my shame, and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before you.
20 Ny latsa dia nanorotoro ny foko ka reraka indrindra aho; ary niandry antra aho, fa tsy nisy, sy mpanony fa tsy nahita.
Rebuke has broken my heart; I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; I looked for comforters, but I found none.
21 Fa zava-mangidy no nomeny ho haniko; ary vinaingitra no natolony ahy hosotroina, raha nangetaheta aho.
They gave me poison for my food; in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
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; when they think they are in safety, let it become a trap.
23 Aoka ho jamba ny masony mba tsy hahita; ary ampangozohozoy mandrakariva ny valahany.
Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; and always make their loins shake.
24 Aidino aminy ny fahatezeranao; ary aoka hahatratra azy ny firehetan’ ny fahaviniranao.
Pour out your indignation on them, and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Aoka ho foana ny tobiny; aza avela hisy hitoetra ao an-dainy.
Let their place be a desolation; let no one live in their tents.
26 Fa izay nasianao no nenjehiny; Ary ny fahararian’ ny voatsindronao dia lazalazainy.
For they persecuted the one you struck down. They repeated the account of the pain of those you have wounded.
27 Aoka hiampy ny helony; ary aoka tsy hiditra amin’ ny fahamarinanao izy.
Accuse them of having committed iniquity after iniquity; do not let them come into your righteous victory.
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 not be written down along with the righteous.
29 Fa izaho dia ory sy mahantra, Andriamanitra ô; aoka ny famonjenao no hanandratra ahy.
But I am poor and sorrowful; let your salvation, God, set me up 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 exalt him with thanksgiving.
31 Fa ho sitrak’ i Jehovah Izany mihoatra noho ny vantotr’ ombilahy, izay manan-tandroka sady mivaky kitro.
That will please Yahweh better than an ox or a bull that has horns and hooves.
32 Hahita izany ny mpandefitra ka ho faly; aoka ho velona ny fonareo, ry mpitady an’ Andriamanitra.
The meek have seen it and are glad; you who seek after God, let your hearts live.
33 Fa mihaino ny malahelo Jehovah, ary ny olony mifatotra tsy mba hamavoiny.
For Yahweh hears the needy and does not despise his prisoners.
34 Aoka hidera Azy ny lanitra sy ny tany, ny ranomasina sy izay rehetra mihetsika ao aminy.
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
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 will rebuild the cities of Judah; the people will live there and have it as a possession.
36 Dia handova azy ny taranaky ny mpanompony; ary hitoetra ao izay tia ny anarany.
His servants' descendants will inherit it; and those who love his name will live there.
