< Salamo 79 >
1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.
O God, the nations have come into thine inheritance. They have defiled thy holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 Ny fatin’ ny mpanomponao nomeny hohanin’ ny voro-manidina, ny nofon’ ny olonao masìna ho an’ ny bibidia;
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be food to the birds of the heavens, the flesh of thy sanctified to the beasts of the earth.
3 Ny ràny naidiny manodidina an’ i Jerosalema tahaka ny rano, ary tsy nisy handevina.
They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
4 Tonga fandatsan’ ny namanay izahay, sady faneso sy fanakoran’ izay manodidina anay.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are round about us.
5 Mandra-pahoviana, Jehovah ô, no hanontolo fo Hianao, ka hirehitra tahaka ny afo ny fahasaro-piaoronao?
How long, O Jehovah? Will thou be angry forever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Aidino amin’ ny jentilisa izay tsy mahalala Anao ny fahatezeranao, sy amin’ ny fanjakana izay tsy miantso ny anaranao;
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that do not know thee, and upon the kingdoms that do not call upon thy name.
7 Fa efa nandany an’ i Jakoba izy ireo sady nandrava ny fonenany.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
8 Aza tsarovana aminay ny heloky ny razanay; aoka ho avy faingana hitsena anay ny fiantrànao, fa reraka indrindra izahay.
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers. Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are brought very low.
9 Vonjeo izahay, ry Andriamanitry ny famonjena anay ô, noho ny voninahitry ny anaranao; ary afaho izahay, ka mamelà ny helokay, noho ny anaranao.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name. And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.
10 Nahoana ny jentilisa no hanao hoe: aiza izay Andriamaniny? aoka ho fantatra amin’ ny jentilisa eo imasonay ny famaliana ny ran’ ny mpanomponao izay nalatsaka.
Why should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed be known among the nations in our sight.
11 Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny fisentoan’ ny mpifatotra; araka ny halehiben’ ny sandrinao dia arovy tsy ho faty ny zanaky ny fahafatesana.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee. According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those who are appointed to death,
12 Ary valio impito heny ho ao an-tratran’ ny mifanila fonenana aminay ny fanaratsiana izay nanaratsiany Anao, Tompo ô.
and render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached thee, O Lord,
13 Fa izahay, olonao sy ondry fiandrinao, dia hisaotra Anao mandrakizay; hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby no hilazanay ny fideràna Anao.
so we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever. We will show forth thy praise to all generations.
