< Salamo 86 >
A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
2 Arovy ny fanahiko, fa masìna aho; Andriamanitro ô, vonjeo ny mpanomponao, Izay matoky Anao.
Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.
3 Tompo ô, mamindrà fo amiko; Fa Hianao no itarainako mandrakariva.
Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
4 Ampifalio ny fanahin’ ny mpanomponao; Fa Hianao, Tompo ô, no ananganako ny fanahiko.
Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
5 Fa Hianao, Tompo ô, no tsara sady mamela heloka Ary be famindram-po amin’ izay rehetra miantso Anao.
For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
6 Mandrenesa ny fivavako, Jehovah ô, Ary henoy ny feon’ ny fifonako.
Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
7 Amin’ ny andro fahoriako dia miantso Anao aho, Fa mamaly ahy Hianao.
When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
8 Tsy misy tahaka Anao, Tompo ô, amin’ ireo andriamanitra; Ary tsy misy tahaka ny asanao.
There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
9 Ny firenena rehetra nataonao dia ho avy hiankohoka eo anatrehanao, Tompo ô, Ka hanome voninahitra ny anaranao.
You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
10 Fa lehibe Hianao ka manao zava-mahagaga; Hianao irery ihany no Andriamanitra.
For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
11 Ampianaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô, Dia handeha amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho; Ampiraiso ny foko hatahotra ny anaranao.
Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.
12 Hidera Anao amin’ ny foko rehetra aho, Andriamanitro Tompo ô Hanome voninahitra ny anaranao mandrakizay aho.
Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
13 Fa lehibe ny famindram-ponao amiko; Ary efa novonjenao ny fanahiko tsy ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ambany indrindra. (Sheol )
For your trustworthy love for me is so great; you have saved me from death. (Sheol )
14 Andriamanitra ô, ny mpirehareha mitsangana hanohitra ahy, Ary ny antokon’ ny lozabe mitady ny aiko; Ary tsy mba heveriny fa eo anatrehany Hianao.
God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
15 Fa Hianao, Tompo ô, dia Andriamanitra mamindrà fo sy miantra, Mahari-po sady be famindram-po sy fahamarinana.
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
16 Todiho aho ka amindrao fo; Omeo ny herinao ny mpanomponao, Ary vonjeo ny zanaky ny ankizivavinao.
Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
17 Anehoy famantarana ny ho soa aho, Mba ho hitan’ izay mankahala ahy, ka ho menatra izy; Fa Hianao Jehovah ô, no namonjy sy nampionona ahy.
Show me a sign that you approve of me! Those who hate me will see it, and they will be ashamed because you, Lord, have helped me.
