Salamo 79
1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.
[A Psalm by Asaph.] God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your 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 your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your faithful to the animals of the earth.
3 Ny ràny naidiny manodidina an’ i Jerosalema tahaka ny rano, ary tsy nisy handevina.
Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 Tonga fandatsan’ ny namanay izahay, sady faneso sy fanakoran’ izay manodidina anay.
We have become objects of contempt to our neighbors, mocked and ridiculed by those who are 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 forever? Will your 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 your wrath on the nations that do not know you; on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
7 Fa efa nandany an’ i Jakoba izy ireo sady nandrava ny fonenany.
For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8 Aza tsarovana aminay ny heloky ny razanay; aoka ho avy faingana hitsena anay ny fiantrànao, fa reraka indrindra izahay.
Do not hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
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, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your 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 it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
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 you. According to the greatness of your power, free those who are sentenced to death.
12 Ary valio impito heny ho ao an-tratran’ ny mifanila fonenana aminay ny fanaratsiana izay nanaratsiany Anao, Tompo ô.
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their lap the insults with which they have insulted you, LORD.
13 Fa izahay, olonao sy ondry fiandrinao, dia hisaotra Anao mandrakizay; hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby no hilazanay ny fideràna Anao.
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
