Salamo 79
1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into 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 unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto 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, with none to bury them.
4 Tonga fandatsan’ ny namanay izahay, sady faneso sy fanakoran’ izay manodidina anay.
We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 Mandra-pahoviana, Jehovah ô, no hanontolo fo Hianao, ka hirehitra tahaka ny afo ny fahasaro-piaoronao?
How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will 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 know Thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not 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.
Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let Thy compassions speedily come to 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 sake of 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.
Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?' Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made 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 groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that 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 unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith 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 that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever; we will tell of Thy praise to all generations.
