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.

Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.

2 Ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao aho; hankalaza ny anaranao aho ry Avo Indrindra ô,

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.

3 Satria lasa nihodina ny fahavaloko, nirepirepy izy ka ringana tsy ho eo anatrehanao.

When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.

4 Fa efa nitsara ahy Hianao ka nanome ahy ny rariny; mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fitsaranao Hianao ho Mpitsara marina.

For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.

5 Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.

Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out 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.

The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.

7 Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,

But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:

8 Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.

And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.

9 Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.

And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.

10 Ary hatoky Anao izay mahalala ny anaranao; fa tsy foinao izay mitady Anao, Jehovah ô.

And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.

11 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.

Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:

12 Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.

For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten 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: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.

14 Mba holazaiko avokoa ny fideràna Anao rehetra; eo am-bavahadin’ i Ziona zanakavavy no hifaliako amin’ ny famonjenao.

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

15 Ny jentilisa efa latsaka tamin’ ny lavaka izay nohadiny, ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny efa nahazo ny tongony,

I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.

16 Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.

The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

17 Hiverina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny ratsy fanahy, dia ny jentilisa rehetra izay manadino an’ Andriamanitra. (Sheol h7585)

The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)

18 Fa tsy ho mandrakizay no hanadinoana ny malahelo; ary tsy ho very mandrakizay ny fanantenan’ ny mahantra.

For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, aoka tsy hahery ny olona; aoka hotsaraina eo anatrehanao ny jentilisa.

Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.

20 Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)

Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
