Salamo 71

1 Hianao, Jehovah ô, no itokiako; aoka tsy ho menatra mandrakizay aho.

In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.

2 Vonjeo ny fahamarinanao aho, ka afaho; atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ka vonjeo aho.

You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to 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 a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.

4 Andriamanitro ô, afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, dia amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanao meloka sy ny lozabe.

O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.

5 Fa Hianao no fanantenako, Jehovah Tompo ô, ry tokiko hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora.

For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, 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.

I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.

7 Tonga toa zava-mahagaga eo imason’ ny maro aho; nefa Hianao no fiarovana mafy ho ahy.

I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.

8 Ny vavako ho feno ny fideràna Anao sy ny fankalazana Anao mandrakariva.

My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.

9 Aza manary ahy, rehefa antitra aho; ary aza mahafoy ahy, rehefa ketraka ny heriko.

Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.

10 Fa miresaka ahy ny fahavaloko; ary miara-mioko izay manotrika hahazo ny aiko.

For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

11 Ka manao hoe: Andriamanitra efa nahafoy azy; enjeho izy, ka sambory, fa tsy misy hamonjy.

Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”

12 Andriamanitra ô, aza manalavitra ahy; Andriamanitro ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.

O God, do not be 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.

They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,

14 Fa izaho kosa dia hanantena mandrakariva, ary hitombo lalandava ny fideràko Anao.

And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.

15 Ny vavako hitory ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao mandrakariva, fa tsy fantatro ny isany.

My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.

16 Ho entiko ny asa lehibe nataon’ i Jehovah Tompo; hampahatsiaro ny fahamarinanao aho, dia ny Anao ihany.

I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.

17 Andriamanitra ô, Hianao efa nampianatra ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; ary mandraka ankehitriny dia nitory ny fahagaganao aho.

God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.

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.

And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.

19 Ary mihatra amin’ izay avo indrindra ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitra ô, Izay nanao zava-dehibe: Andriamanitra ô, iza no tahaka Anao?

And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because 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.

Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.

21 Ampitomboy ny voninahitro, ary aoka hampionona ahy indray Hianao.

You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,

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 also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,

23 Hihoby ny molotro raha mankalaza Anao; ny fanahiko koa izay efa navotanao;

My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,

24 Ary ny lelako hitory ny fahamarinanao mandrakariva; fa efa menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.

My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
