Salamo 9
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira, Almoth-laben. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Hidera an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny foko rehetra aho; hanambara ny fahagaganao rehetra aho.
To the chief music-maker on Muthlabben. A Psalm. Of David. I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.
2 Ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao aho; hankalaza ny anaranao aho ry Avo Indrindra ô,
I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.
3 Satria lasa nihodina ny fahavaloko, nirepirepy izy ka ringana tsy ho eo anatrehanao.
When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.
4 Fa efa nitsara ahy Hianao ka nanome ahy ny rariny; mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fitsaranao Hianao ho Mpitsara marina.
For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.
5 Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.
You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
6 Ny amin’ ny fahavalo, dia tanteraka ho mandrakizay ny fandravàna azy; ary izay tanàna efa noravanao, dia very na dia ny fahatsiarovana azy aza.
You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.
7 Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,
But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.
8 Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.
And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.
9 Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;
10 Ary hatoky Anao izay mahalala ny anaranao; fa tsy foinao izay mitady Anao, Jehovah ô.
And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.
11 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.
Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.
12 Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.
When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.
13 Mamindrà fo amiko, Jehovah ô; mitsinjova ny fahoriako avy amin’ izay mankahala ahy, Ry Mpanandratra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fahafatesana,
Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;
14 Mba holazaiko avokoa ny fideràna Anao rehetra; eo am-bavahadin’ i Ziona zanakavavy no hifaliako amin’ ny famonjenao.
So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.
15 Ny jentilisa efa latsaka tamin’ ny lavaka izay nohadiny, ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny efa nahazo ny tongony,
The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.
16 Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.
The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Hiverina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny ratsy fanahy, dia ny jentilisa rehetra izay manadino an’ Andriamanitra. (Sheol h7585)
The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
18 Fa tsy ho mandrakizay no hanadinoana ny malahelo; ary tsy ho very mandrakizay ny fanantenan’ ny mahantra.
For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.
19 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, aoka tsy hahery ny olona; aoka hotsaraina eo anatrehanao ny jentilisa.
Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.
20 Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)
Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah)
