Salamo 71
1 Hianao, Jehovah ô, no itokiako; aoka tsy ho menatra mandrakizay aho.
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Vonjeo ny fahamarinanao aho, ka afaho; atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ka vonjeo aho.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Aoka ho vatolampy fonenana hohatoniko mandrakariva Hianao, Izay efa nandidy hamonjy ahy; fa harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy Hianao.
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
4 Andriamanitro ô, afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, dia amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanao meloka sy ny lozabe.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Fa Hianao no fanantenako, Jehovah Tompo ô, ry tokiko hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora.
For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
6 Hianao no nanankinana ahy hatrany am-bohoka; ianao namoaka ahy avy tany an-kibon-dreniko; ianao no deraiko mandrakariva.
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
7 Tonga toa zava-mahagaga eo imason’ ny maro aho; nefa Hianao no fiarovana mafy ho ahy.
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
8 Ny vavako ho feno ny fideràna Anao sy ny fankalazana Anao mandrakariva.
Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day.
9 Aza manary ahy, rehefa antitra aho; ary aza mahafoy ahy, rehefa ketraka ny heriko.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Fa miresaka ahy ny fahavaloko; ary miara-mioko izay manotrika hahazo ny aiko.
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Ka manao hoe: Andriamanitra efa nahafoy azy; enjeho izy, ka sambory, fa tsy misy hamonjy.
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him].
12 Andriamanitra ô, aza manalavitra ahy; Andriamanitro ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for 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 them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 Fa izaho kosa dia hanantena mandrakariva, ary hitombo lalandava ny fideràko Anao.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 Ny vavako hitory ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao mandrakariva, fa tsy fantatro ny isany.
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
16 Ho entiko ny asa lehibe nataon’ i Jehovah Tompo; hampahatsiaro ny fahamarinanao aho, dia ny Anao ihany.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
17 Andriamanitra ô, Hianao efa nampianatra ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; ary mandraka ankehitriny dia nitory ny fahagaganao aho.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
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 also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
19 Ary mihatra amin’ izay avo indrindra ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitra ô, Izay nanao zava-dehibe: Andriamanitra ô, iza no tahaka Anao?
Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
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.
[Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Ampitomboy ny voninahitro, ary aoka hampionona ahy indray Hianao.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me 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 also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 Hihoby ny molotro raha mankalaza Anao; ny fanahiko koa izay efa navotanao;
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 Ary ny lelako hitory ny fahamarinanao mandrakariva; fa efa menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
