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 song, a psalm of the sons of Korah; for the chief musician; set to the Mahalath Leannoth style. A maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. Yahweh, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you.
2 Aoka ny fivavako ho tonga eo anatrehanao; Atongilano amin’ ny fitarainako ny sofinao;
Listen to my prayer; pay attention to my cry.
For I am filled with troubles, and my life has reached Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Natao ho isan’ izay midìna any an-davaka aho Ary efa tahaka izay tsy manan-kery;
People treat me like those who go down into the pit; I am a man with no strength.
5 Efa nafoy ho any amin’ ny maty aho, Tahaka izay voavono, mandry ao am-pasana, Izay tsy tsarovanao intsony, Fa voafongotry ny tananao.
I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the dead who lie in the grave, about whom you care no more because they are cut off from your power.
6 Efa nametraka ahy any an-davaka ambany indrindra Hianao, Ao amin’ ny maizina, dia ao amin’ ny lalina.
You place me in the lowest part of the pit, in the dark and deep places.
7 Ny fahatezeranao manindry ahy mafy, Ary ny alon-dranonao rehetra azeranao amiko. (Sela)
Your wrath lies heavy on me, and all your waves crash over me. (Selah)
8 Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona nahazatra ahy; Efa nataonao fahavetavetana eo imasony aho; Voahidy aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka.
Because of you, my acquaintances avoid me. You have made me a shocking sight to them. I am hemmed in and I cannot escape.
9 Ny masoko efa pahina noho ny fahoriana; Jehovah ô, miantso Anao isan’ andro aho, Mamefy tanana aminao aho.
My eyes grow weary from trouble; All day long I call out to you, Yahweh; I spread out my hands to you.
10 Haneho fahagagana amin’ ny maty va Hianao? Ny matoatoa va no hitsangana hidera Anao?
Will you do wonders for the dead? Will those who have died rise and praise you? (Selah)
11 Hotorina any am-pasana va ny famindram-ponao, Ary ny fahamarinanao any amin’ ny fandringanana?
Will your covenant faithfulness be proclaimed in the grave, your loyalty in the place of the dead?
12 Ho fantatra ao amin’ ny maizina va ny fahagagana ataonao, Ary ny fahamarinanao ao amin’ ny tany fanadinoana?
Will your wonderful deeds be known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?
13 Fa raha izaho, dia Hianao no itarainako, Jehovah ô; Ary ny fivavako tonga eo anatrehanao nony maraina.
But I cry to you, Yahweh; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 Jehovah ô, nahoana no manary ny fanahiko Hianao Ka manafina ny tavanao amiko?
Yahweh, why do you reject me? Why do you hide your face from me?
15 Ory aho ka efa ho faty hatramin’ ny fahazazako; Raha itambesa-ran’ ny fampitahoranao aho, dia very hevitra;
I have always been afflicted and on the verge of death since my youth. I have suffered from your terrors; I am in despair.
16 Manafotra ahy ny fahatezeranao; Matin’ ny fampitahoranao aho;
Your angry actions have passed over me, and your terrifying deeds have annihilated me.
17 Mandifotra ahy mandrakariva tahaka ny rano ireny; Miara-manodidina ahy izy.
They surround me like water all the day long; they have all encircled me.
18 Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona tia ahy sy ny sakaizako; Ireo nahazatra ahy dia fahamaizinana.
You have removed every friend and acquaintance from me. My only acquaintance is the darkness.
