Salamo 7
1 Sigaiona nataon’ i Davida, izay nohirainy ho an’ i Jehovah noho ny tenin’ i Kosy Benjamita. Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, Hianao no ialofako; vonjeo aho amin’ izay rehetra manenjika ahy, ka afaho;
Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;
2 Fandrao ny fanahiko viravirainy tahaka ny fanaon’ ny liona, ary kepokepohiny, ka tsy misy mamonjy.
So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.
3 Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, raha nanao izany aho; raha misy heloka eto an-tanako;
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;
4 Raha namaly ratsy izay tsara fihavanana tamiko aho, novonjeko aza izay nampahory ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana
If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;
5 Dia aoka ny fahavalo hanenjika ny fanahiko ka hahatratra azy; eny, aoka izy hanitsaka ny aiko amin’ ny tany, ary hampandry ny voninahitro amin’ ny vovoka. (Sela)
Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah)
6 Jehovah ô, mitsangàna amin’ ny fahatezeranao; misandrata hisakana ny fisafoaky ny mpampahory ahy; ary mifohaza hanampy ahy, fa didy marina no navoakanao;
Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.
7 Aoka ny firenena maro hivory manodidina Anao; ary miverena ho any amin’ ny avo eo amboniny Hianao,
The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.
8 Jehovah hitsara ny firenena; Jehovah ô, tsarao aho araka ny fahamarinako sy ny tsi-fananako tsiny.
The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.
9 Aoka ho tapaka ny ratsy ataon’ ny ratsy fanahy, fa ampitoero kosa ny marina; fa Andriamanitra marina no mamantatra ny fo sy ny voa.
O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.
10 Ny ampingako dia ao amin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ny mahitsy fo.
God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.
11 Mpitsara marina Andriamanitra, eny Andriamanitra Izay tezitra isan’ andro.
God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.
12 Raha tsy ibebahana Izy, dia hanasa ny sabany; efa manenjana ny tsipìkany Izy ka manamboatra azy,
If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.
13 Ary ireo dia kendreny amin’ ny fiadiana mahafaty; ny zana-tsipìkany ataony mirehitra.
He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.
14 Indro, efa marary hiteraka zava-poana ireo; eny, torontoronina fampahoriana izy ary mitera-doza;
That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.
15 Mihady lavaka izy ka manalalaka izany, dia latsaka ao anatin’ ny longoa nataony ihany izy;
He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made
16 Mitsingerina ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fampahoriany; ary eo an-tampon-dohany ihany no ianjeran’ ny loza nataony.
His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.
17 Hidera an’ i Jehovah araka ny fahamarinany aho, ary hankalaza ny anaran’ i Jehovah Avo Indrindra.
I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.
