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 shame!
2 Vonjeo ny fahamarinanao aho, ka afaho; atongilano amiko ny sofinao, ka vonjeo aho.
In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine 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 thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; 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.
Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
5 Fa Hianao no fanantenako, Jehovah Tompo ô, ry tokiko hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been 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.
Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
7 Tonga toa zava-mahagaga eo imason’ ny maro aho; nefa Hianao no fiarovana mafy ho ahy.
I am a wonder to 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; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
9 Aza manary ahy, rehefa antitra aho; ary aza mahafoy ahy, rehefa ketraka ny heriko.
Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
10 Fa miresaka ahy ny fahavaloko; ary miara-mioko izay manotrika hahazo ny aiko.
For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult together:
11 Ka manao hoe: Andriamanitra efa nahafoy azy; enjeho izy, ka sambory, fa tsy misy hamonjy.
“God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver him!”
12 Andriamanitra ô, aza manalavitra ahy; Andriamanitro ô, faingana hamonjy ahy.
O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
13 Aoka ho menatra sy ho levona ny mpanohitra ny fanahiko; aoka hitafy henatra sy fahafaham-baraka izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
14 Fa izaho kosa dia hanantena mandrakariva, ary hitombo lalandava ny fideràko Anao.
But I will hope continually; I shall yet praise thee more and more.
15 Ny vavako hitory ny fahamarinanao sy ny famonjenao mandrakariva, fa tsy fantatro ny isany.
My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
16 Ho entiko ny asa lehibe nataon’ i Jehovah Tompo; hampahatsiaro ny fahamarinanao aho, dia ny Anao ihany.
I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, 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 thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
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 now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
19 Ary mihatra amin’ izay avo indrindra ny fahamarinanao, Andriamanitra ô, Izay nanao zava-dehibe: Andriamanitra ô, iza no tahaka Anao?
For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! 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 hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
21 Ampitomboy ny voninahitro, ary aoka hampionona ahy indray Hianao.
Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again 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.
Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!
23 Hihoby ny molotro raha mankalaza Anao; ny fanahiko koa izay efa navotanao;
My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
24 Ary ny lelako hitory ny fahamarinanao mandrakariva; fa efa menatra sy mangaihay izay mitady hanisy ratsy ahy.
My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
