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;
“A Shiggayon of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the affairs of Cush the Benjamite.” O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me from every one of my persecutors, and deliver me:
2 Fandrao ny fanahiko viravirainy tahaka ny fanaon’ ny liona, ary kepokepohiny, ka tsy misy mamonjy.
Lest he tear like a lion my soul, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
3 Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, raha nanao izany aho; raha misy heloka eto an-tanako;
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be injustice in my hands;
4 Raha namaly ratsy izay tsara fihavanana tamiko aho, novonjeko aza izay nampahory ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana
If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants 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)
May the enemy hotly pursue my soul, and overtake it; and tread down upon the earth my life, and cause my honor to be in 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;
Arise, O Lord, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Aoka ny firenena maro hivory manodidina Anao; ary miverena ho any amin’ ny avo eo amboniny Hianao,
So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.
8 Jehovah hitsara ny firenena; Jehovah ô, tsarao aho araka ny fahamarinako sy ny tsi-fananako tsiny.
The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [grant] me [recompense].
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.
Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.
10 Ny ampingako dia ao amin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ny mahitsy fo.
My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.
11 Mpitsara marina Andriamanitra, eny Andriamanitra Izay tezitra isan’ andro.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant [with the wicked] every day.
12 Raha tsy ibebahana Izy, dia hanasa ny sabany; efa manenjana ny tsipìkany Izy ka manamboatra azy,
If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.
13 Ary ireo dia kendreny amin’ ny fiadiana mahafaty; ny zana-tsipìkany ataony mirehitra.
Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Indro, efa marary hiteraka zava-poana ireo; eny, torontoronina fampahoriana izy ary mitera-doza;
Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
15 Mihady lavaka izy ka manalalaka izany, dia latsaka ao anatin’ ny longoa nataony ihany izy;
He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.
16 Mitsingerina ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fampahoriany; ary eo an-tampon-dohany ihany no ianjeran’ ny loza nataony.
His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.
17 Hidera an’ i Jehovah araka ny fahamarinany aho, ary hankalaza ny anaran’ i Jehovah Avo Indrindra.
I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
