Salamo 79
1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.
A psalm of Asaph. Heathen, O God, have come into your land, defiling your holy temple, and laying Jerusalem in ruins.
2 Ny fatin’ ny mpanomponao nomeny hohanin’ ny voro-manidina, ny nofon’ ny olonao masìna ho an’ ny bibidia;
They have given the bodies of your dead servants to the birds of the air to devour, and the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the field.
3 Ny ràny naidiny manodidina an’ i Jerosalema tahaka ny rano, ary tsy nisy handevina.
Round about Jerusalem they have poured out their blood like water; and there was no one to bury them.
4 Tonga fandatsan’ ny namanay izahay, sady faneso sy fanakoran’ izay manodidina anay.
On every side our neighbours revile us and mock us and jeer at us.
5 Mandra-pahoviana, Jehovah ô, no hanontolo fo Hianao, ka hirehitra tahaka ny afo ny fahasaro-piaoronao?
How long will you be angry, O Lord? Will your jealousy burn like fire forever?
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 don’t 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 Jacob they devoured, they have desolated his home.
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 our ancestors’ sins; O meet us soon with your pity, for utterly weak are we.
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 our saviour, for the renown of your name: for your reputation deliver us and cover over our sins.
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 revenge for the outpoured blood of your servants be shown on the heathen before our eyes.
11 Aoka ho tonga eo anatrehanao ny fisentoan’ ny mpifatotra; araka ny halehiben’ ny sandrinao dia arovy tsy ho faty ny zanaky ny fahafatesana.
May the groans of the prisoner come before you; free the children of death by your mighty arm.
12 Ary valio impito heny ho ao an-tratran’ ny mifanila fonenana aminay ny fanaratsiana izay nanaratsiany Anao, Tompo ô.
Pay our neighbours back sevenfold for the scorn they have heaped upon you, O 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 give thanks to you for evermore, and tell your praise to all generations.
