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 by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Suffering of Affliction.” A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite. Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
2 Aoka ny fivavako ho tonga eo anatrehanao; Atongilano amin’ ny fitarainako ny sofinao;
Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Natao ho isan’ izay midìna any an-davaka aho Ary efa tahaka izay tsy manan-kery;
I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no 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.
set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
6 Efa nametraka ahy any an-davaka ambany indrindra Hianao, Ao amin’ ny maizina, dia ao amin’ ny lalina.
You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
7 Ny fahatezeranao manindry ahy mafy, Ary ny alon-dranonao rehetra azeranao amiko. (Sela)
Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
8 Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona nahazatra ahy; Efa nataonao fahavetavetana eo imasony aho; Voahidy aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka.
You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.
9 Ny masoko efa pahina noho ny fahoriana; Jehovah ô, miantso Anao isan’ andro aho, Mamefy tanana aminao aho.
My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you.
10 Haneho fahagagana amin’ ny maty va Hianao? Ny matoatoa va no hitsangana hidera Anao?
Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? (Selah)
11 Hotorina any am-pasana va ny famindram-ponao, Ary ny fahamarinanao any amin’ ny fandringanana?
Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
12 Ho fantatra ao amin’ ny maizina va ny fahagagana ataonao, Ary ny fahamarinanao ao amin’ ny tany fanadinoana?
Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Fa raha izaho, dia Hianao no itarainako, Jehovah ô; Ary ny fivavako tonga eo anatrehanao nony maraina.
But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. 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 my soul? 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 am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
16 Manafotra ahy ny fahatezeranao; Matin’ ny fampitahoranao aho;
Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
17 Mandifotra ahy mandrakariva tahaka ny rano ireny; Miara-manodidina ahy izy.
They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
18 Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona tia ahy sy ny sakaizako; Ireo nahazatra ahy dia fahamaizinana.
You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
