Salamo 74
1 Maskila nataon’ i Asafa.
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the flock of thy pasture?
2 Tsarovy ny fiangonanao izay efa azonao fahiny, ilay navotanao ho firenena lovanao, dia ny tendrom-bohitra Ziona izay nonenanao.
Remember the people which thou didst purchase of old; Thine own inheritance, which thou didst redeem; That Mount Zion, where thou once didst dwell!
3 Aingao ny tongotrao, ka miakara ho amin’ ny voarava mandrakizay; ny zavatra rehetra tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna dia simban’ ny fahavalo avokoa.
Hasten thy steps to those utter desolations! Every thing in the sanctuary hath the enemy abused!
4 Nierona tao anatin’ ny fiangonanao ny mpandrafy anao; nanangana ny sainany ho famantarana izy.
Thine enemies roar in the place of thine assemblies; Their own symbols have they set up for signs.
5 Ny fijery azy dia tahaka ny olona manainga famaky hijinja ny ala mikitroka;
They appear like those who raise the axe against a thicket;
6 Ary amin’ izao ny rafitra misoratra rehetra ao dia asiany ny famaky sy ny kanonta.
They have broken down the carved work of thy temple with axes and hammers;
7 Efa nandoro ny fitoeranao masìna tamin’ ny afo izy; nolotoiny sy nazerany tamin’ ny tany ny fonenan’ ny anaranao.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary; They have profaned, and cast to the ground, the dwelling-place of thy name.
8 Hoy izy tam-pony: aoka hampahorintsika avokoa izy. Efa nandoro ny tranon’ Andriamanitra eran’ ny tany rehetra izy.
They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them all together!” They have burned all God's places of assembly in the land.
9 Tsy hitanay ny famantaranay tsy misy mpaminany intsony ary tsy misy aminay mahalala izay mbola haharetan’ izao.
We no longer see our signs; There is no prophet among us, Nor any one that knoweth how long this desolation shall endure.
10 Mandra-pahoviana, Andriamanitra ô, no hanaratsian’ ny mpandrafy? Hanamavo ny anaranao mandrakizay va ny fahavalo?
How long, O God! shall the adversary revile? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Nahoana no mampihemotra ny tananao, dia ny tananao ankavanana, Hianao? mampialà azy amin’ ny tratranao, ka mandringàna.
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? Take it from thy bosom, and destroy!
12 Fa Andriamanitra no Mpanjakako hatrizay hatrizay; manao famonjena eny amin’ ny tany Izy.
Yet God was our king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Nampisaraka ny ranomasina tamin’ ny herinao Hianao; efa namakivaky ny lohan’ ny dragona tao anaty rano Hianao.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy power; Thou didst crush the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 Hianao nanorotoro ny lohan’ ny mamba ka nanome azy hohanin’ izay firenena any an-efitra.
Thou didst break in pieces the head of the crocodile; Thou gavest him for food to the inhabitants of the desert.
15 Hianao namaky ny vatolampy hamoaka loharano sy ony; Hianao nahatankina ny ony tsy mety ritra.
Thou didst cleave forth the fountain and the stream; Thou didst dry up perennial rivers.
16 Anao ny andro, Anao koa ny alina; Hianao namboatra ny fanazavana, indrindra fa ny masoandro.
Thine is the day, and thine the night; Thou didst prepare the light and the sun.
17 Hianao nametra ny faritry ny tany rehetra; ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, dia Hianao no nanao azy.
Thou didst establish all the boundaries of the earth; Thou didst make summer and winter.
18 Tsarovy izao: Manaratsy an’ i Jehovah ny fahavalo, ary ny olona adala manamavo ny anaranao.
O remember that the enemy hath reviled Jehovah; That an impious people hath blasphemed thy name!
19 Aza manolotra ny ain’ ny voromailalanao ho an’ ny bibi-dia; ary aza manadino mandrakizay ny ain’ ny olo-mahantranao.
Give not up the life of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast; Forget not for ever thine afflicted people!
20 Hevero ny fanekena; fa feno fonenan’ ny fandozana ny fitoera-maizina amin’ ny tany.
Have regard to thy covenant! For all the dark places of the land are full of the abodes of cruelty.
21 Aoka tsy hiverina amin-kenatra ny mahantra; aoka ny ory sy ny malahelo hidera ny anaranao.
O let not the afflicted go away ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise thy name!
22 Mitsangàna, Andriamanitra ô, efao ny adinao; tsarovy ny fanaratsian’ ny adala Anao isan’ andro.
Arise, O God! maintain thy cause! Remember how the impious revileth thee daily!
23 Aza manadino ny feon’ ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban’ ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.
Forget not the clamor of thine adversaries, —The noise of thine enemies, which continually increaseth!
