Salamo 74
1 Maskila nataon’ i Asafa.
Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Tsarovy ny fiangonanao izay efa azonao fahiny, ilay navotanao ho firenena lovanao, dia ny tendrom-bohitra Ziona izay nonenanao.
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [and] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Aingao ny tongotrao, ka miakara ho amin’ ny voarava mandrakizay; ny zavatra rehetra tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna dia simban’ ny fahavalo avokoa.
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4 Nierona tao anatin’ ny fiangonanao ny mpandrafy anao; nanangana ny sainany ho famantarana izy.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; they have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 Ny fijery azy dia tahaka ny olona manainga famaky hijinja ny ala mikitroka;
They seemed as men that lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
6 Ary amin’ izao ny rafitra misoratra rehetra ao dia asiany ny famaky sy ny kanonta.
And now all the carved work thereof together they break down with hatchet and hammers.
7 Efa nandoro ny fitoeranao masìna tamin’ ny afo izy; nolotoiny sy nazerany tamin’ ny tany ny fonenan’ ny anaranao.
They have set thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling place of thy name even to the ground.
8 Hoy izy tam-pony: aoka hampahorintsika avokoa izy. Efa nandoro ny tranon’ Andriamanitra eran’ ny tany rehetra izy.
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 Tsy hitanay ny famantaranay tsy misy mpaminany intsony ary tsy misy aminay mahalala izay mbola haharetan’ izao.
We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 Mandra-pahoviana, Andriamanitra ô, no hanaratsian’ ny mpandrafy? Hanamavo ny anaranao mandrakizay va ny fahavalo?
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? 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 drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
12 Fa Andriamanitra no Mpanjakako hatrizay hatrizay; manao famonjena eny amin’ ny tany Izy.
Yet God is my 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 strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Hianao nanorotoro ny lohan’ ny mamba ka nanome azy hohanin’ izay firenena any an-efitra.
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, thou gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Hianao namaky ny vatolampy hamoaka loharano sy ony; Hianao nahatankina ny ony tsy mety ritra.
Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 Anao ny andro, Anao koa ny alina; Hianao namboatra ny fanazavana, indrindra fa ny masoandro.
The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Hianao nametra ny faritry ny tany rehetra; ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, dia Hianao no nanao azy.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Tsarovy izao: Manaratsy an’ i Jehovah ny fahavalo, ary ny olona adala manamavo ny anaranao.
Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 Aza manolotra ny ain’ ny voromailalanao ho an’ ny bibi-dia; ary aza manadino mandrakizay ny ain’ ny olo-mahantranao.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
20 Hevero ny fanekena; fa feno fonenan’ ny fandozana ny fitoera-maizina amin’ ny tany.
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Aoka tsy hiverina amin-kenatra ny mahantra; aoka ny ory sy ny malahelo hidera ny anaranao.
O let not the oppressed return 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, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
23 Aza manadino ny feon’ ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban’ ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
