Salamo 71
1 Hianao, Jehovah ô, no itokiako; aoka tsy ho menatra mandrakizay aho.
In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.
2 Vonjeo ny fahamarinanao aho, ka afaho; atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ka vonjeo aho.
Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.
3 Aoka ho vatolampy fonenana hohatoniko mandrakariva Hianao, Izay efa nandidy hamonjy ahy; fa harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy Hianao.
Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.
4 Andriamanitro ô, afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, dia amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanao meloka sy ny lozabe.
O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 Fa Hianao no fanantenako, Jehovah Tompo ô, ry tokiko hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora.
For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.
6 Hianao no nanankinana ahy hatrany am-bohoka; ianao namoaka ahy avy tany an-kibon-dreniko; ianao no deraiko mandrakariva.
You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.
7 Tonga toa zava-mahagaga eo imason’ ny maro aho; nefa Hianao no fiarovana mafy ho ahy.
I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.
8 Ny vavako ho feno ny fideràna Anao sy ny fankalazana Anao mandrakariva.
My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.
9 Aza manary ahy, rehefa antitra aho; ary aza mahafoy ahy, rehefa ketraka ny heriko.
Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.
10 Fa miresaka ahy ny fahavaloko; ary miara-mioko izay manotrika hahazo ny aiko.
For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,
11 Ka manao hoe: Andriamanitra efa nahafoy azy; enjeho izy, ka sambory, fa tsy misy hamonjy.
Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.
12 Andriamanitra ô, aza manalavitra ahy; Andriamanitro ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.
O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.
13 Aoka ho menatra sy ho levona ny mpanohitra ny fanahiko; aoka hitafy henatra sy fahafaham-baraka izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.
14 Fa izaho kosa dia hanantena mandrakariva, ary hitombo lalandava ny fideràko Anao.
But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.
15 Ny vavako hitory ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao mandrakariva, fa tsy fantatro ny isany.
My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.
16 Ho entiko ny asa lehibe nataon’ i Jehovah Tompo; hampahatsiaro ny fahamarinanao aho, dia ny Anao ihany.
I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
17 Andriamanitra ô, Hianao efa nampianatra ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; ary mandraka ankehitriny dia nitory ny fahagaganao aho.
O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.
18 Koa mandra-pahantitro sy fotsy volo, dia aza mahafoy ahy, Andriamanitra ô, mandra-pilazako ny sandrinao amin’ ny taranaka sy ny asanao lehibe amin’ izay rehetra mbola ho avy.
Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.
19 Ary mihatra amin’ izay avo indrindra ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitra ô, Izay nanao zava-dehibe: Andriamanitra ô, iza no tahaka Anao?
Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?
20 Hianao Izay nampahita ahy fahoriana be sady mafy no hamelona ahy indray, ka hampiakatra ahy indray hiala amin’ ny fitoerana lalina amin’ ny tany.
You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.
21 Ampitomboy ny voninahitro, ary aoka hampionona ahy indray Hianao.
You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.
22 Izaho kosa hidera Anao amin’ ny valiha, dia ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitro; hankalaza Anao amin’ ny lokanga aho, ry Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely ô.
I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Hihoby ny molotro raha mankalaza Anao; ny fanahiko koa izay efa navotanao;
Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.
24 Ary ny lelako hitory ny fahamarinanao mandrakariva; fa efa menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
