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 psalm of David, which he sang to Jehovah, on account of the reproaches of Cush the Benjamite.” O Jehovah, my God! to thee do I look for help; Save me from them that persecute me, and deliver me!
2 Fandrao ny fanahiko viravirainy tahaka ny fanaon’ ny liona, ary kepokepohiny, ka tsy misy mamonjy.
Lest mine enemy tear me like a lion; Lest he rend me in pieces, while there is none to help.
3 Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, raha nanao izany aho; raha misy heloka eto an-tanako;
O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this, —If there be iniquity upon my hands,
4 Raha namaly ratsy izay tsara fihavanana tamiko aho, novonjeko aza izay nampahory ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana
If I have rendered evil to my friend, Or have despoiled him that without cause is mine enemy, —
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 adversary pursue and take me; Let him trample me to the ground, And lay me prostrate in the dust! (Pause)
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 thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment!
7 Aoka ny firenena maro hivory manodidina Anao; ary miverena ho any amin’ ny avo eo amboniny Hianao,
Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height!
8 Jehovah hitsara ny firenena; Jehovah ô, tsarao aho araka ny fahamarinako sy ny tsi-fananako tsiny.
The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity!
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 wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins.
10 Ny ampingako dia ao amin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy ny mahitsy fo.
My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mpitsara marina Andriamanitra, eny Andriamanitra Izay tezitra isan’ andro.
God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day.
12 Raha tsy ibebahana Izy, dia hanasa ny sabany; efa manenjana ny tsipìkany Izy ka manamboatra azy,
If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready;
13 Ary ireo dia kendreny amin’ ny fiadiana mahafaty; ny zana-tsipìkany ataony mirehitra.
He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows.
14 Indro, efa marary hiteraka zava-poana ireo; eny, torontoronina fampahoriana izy ary mitera-doza;
Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment!
15 Mihady lavaka izy ka manalalaka izany, dia latsaka ao anatin’ ny longoa nataony ihany izy;
He made a pit and digged it. And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Mitsingerina ho eo an-dohany ihany ny fampahoriany; ary eo an-tampon-dohany ihany no ianjeran’ ny loza nataony.
His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull.
17 Hidera an’ i Jehovah araka ny fahamarinany aho, ary hankalaza ny anaran’ i Jehovah Avo Indrindra.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
