Salamo 79
1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.
A psalm of Asaph. God, heathen nations have invaded your land. They have defiled your holy Temple. They have turned Jerusalem into heaps of rubble.
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 your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your faithful people to the beasts of the earth.
3 Ny ràny naidiny manodidina an’ i Jerosalema tahaka ny rano, ary tsy nisy handevina.
They have poured out the blood of Jerusalem's people like water all through the city; no one remains to bury the dead.
4 Tonga fandatsan’ ny namanay izahay, sady faneso sy fanakoran’ izay manodidina anay.
We have been made a mockery before our neighbors, ridiculed and laughed at by those around us.
5 Mandra-pahoviana, Jehovah ô, no hanontolo fo Hianao, ka hirehitra tahaka ny afo ny fahasaro-piaoronao?
How long, Lord? Will you be angry with us forever? Will your jealousy always 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 your anger on the heathen nations that don't know you, and on those kingdoms that don't worship you!
7 Fa efa nandany an’ i Jakoba izy ireo sady nandrava ny fonenany.
For they have destroyed the descendants of Jacob, and turned our country into a wasteland.
8 Aza tsarovana aminay ny heloky ny razanay; aoka ho avy faingana hitsena anay ny fiantrànao, fa reraka indrindra izahay.
Don't hold the sins of our forefathers against us! Come to us quickly for we desperately need your compassion.
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, God of our salvation, because of your wonderful character! Save us and forgive us our sins because that's the kind of person you are!
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 heathen nations be able to say, “Where is their God?” May they experience your punishment for shedding the blood of your servants, and may we see it.
11 Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny fisentoan’ ny mpifatotra; araka ny halehiben’ ny sandrinao dia arovy tsy ho faty ny zanaky ny fahafatesana.
Listen to the groans of the prisoners; with your great power save those condemned to die.
12 Ary valio impito heny ho ao an-tratran’ ny mifanila fonenana aminay ny fanaratsiana izay nanaratsiany Anao, Tompo ô.
Pay each of these neighbors back seven times for the scorn and ridicule they directed against you, Lord.
13 Fa izahay, olonao sy ondry fiandrinao, dia hisaotra Anao mandrakizay; hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby no hilazanay ny fideràna Anao.
Then we your people, the flock of your pasture, will praise you forever. We will thank you for all generations to come.
