Salamo 88
1 Tonon-kira. Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Almahalath-leanoth. Maskila nataon’ i Hemana Ezrahita. Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy, Andro aman’ alina no itarainako eo anatrehanao;
A canticle of a psalm for the sons of Core: unto the end, for Maheleth, to answer understanding of Eman the Ezrahite. O Lord, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
2 Aoka ny fivavako ho tonga eo anatrehanao; Atongilano amin’ ny fitarainako ny sofinao;
Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.
For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell. (Sheol h7585)
4 Natao ho isan’ izay midìna any an-davaka aho Ary efa tahaka izay tsy manan-kery;
I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help,
5 Efa nafoy ho any amin’ ny maty aho, Tahaka izay voavono, mandry ao am-pasana, Izay tsy tsarovanao intsony, Fa voafongotry ny tananao.
Free among the dead. Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.
6 Efa nametraka ahy any an-davaka ambany indrindra Hianao, Ao amin’ ny maizina, dia ao amin’ ny lalina.
They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
7 Ny fahatezeranao manindry ahy mafy, Ary ny alon-dranonao rehetra azeranao amiko. (Sela)
Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
8 Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona nahazatra ahy; Efa nataonao fahavetavetana eo imasony aho; Voahidy aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka.
Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves. I was delivered up, and came not forth:
9 Ny masoko efa pahina noho ny fahoriana; Jehovah ô, miantso Anao isan’ andro aho, Mamefy tanana aminao aho.
My eyes languished through poverty. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.
10 Haneho fahagagana amin’ ny maty va Hianao? Ny matoatoa va no hitsangana hidera Anao?
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
11 Hotorina any am-pasana va ny famindram-ponao, Ary ny fahamarinanao any amin’ ny fandringanana?
Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?
12 Ho fantatra ao amin’ ny maizina va ny fahagagana ataonao, Ary ny fahamarinanao ao amin’ ny tany fanadinoana?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Fa raha izaho, dia Hianao no itarainako, Jehovah ô; Ary ny fivavako tonga eo anatrehanao nony maraina.
But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
14 Jehovah ô, nahoana no manary ny fanahiko Hianao Ka manafina ny tavanao amiko?
Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?
15 Ory aho ka efa ho faty hatramin’ ny fahazazako; Raha itambesa-ran’ ny fampitahoranao aho, dia very hevitra;
I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
16 Manafotra ahy ny fahatezeranao; Matin’ ny fampitahoranao aho;
Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.
17 Mandifotra ahy mandrakariva tahaka ny rano ireny; Miara-manodidina ahy izy.
They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.
18 Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona tia ahy sy ny sakaizako; Ireo nahazatra ahy dia fahamaizinana.
Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.
