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 musician upon Muthlabben, a psalm of David.” I will thank the Lord with all my heart: I will relate all thy marvelous deeds.
2 Ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao aho; hankalaza ny anaranao aho ry Avo Indrindra ô,
I will rejoice and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High:
3 Satria lasa nihodina ny fahavaloko, nirepirepy izy ka ringana tsy ho eo anatrehanao.
When my enemies are turned backward, [when] they fall and perish at thy presence.
4 Fa efa nitsara ahy Hianao ka nanome ahy ny rariny; mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fitsaranao Hianao ho Mpitsara marina.
For thou hast conducted my dispute and my cause; thou hast sat on the throne as a righteous judge.
5 Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.
Thou hast rebuked nations, thou hast caused the wicked to perish, their name hast thou blotted out 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.
O thou enemy, the ruins are passed away for ever, and the cities which thou hast destroyed, —lost is their memorial, yea, theirs.
7 Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,
But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.
8 Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.
And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.
9 Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
The Lord also will be a strong-hold for the oppressed, a strong-hold in times of distress.
10 Ary hatoky Anao izay mahalala ny anaranao; fa tsy foinao izay mitady Anao, Jehovah ô.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwelleth in Zion: announce among the people his deeds.
12 Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.
For he, that inquireth after acts of blood, hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 Mamindrà fo amiko, Jehovah ô; mitsinjova ny fahoriako avy amin’ izay mankahala ahy, Ry Mpanandratra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fahafatesana,
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; have regard to my affliction [coming] from those that hate me, thou who liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 Mba holazaiko avokoa ny fideràna Anao rehetra; eo am-bavahadin’ i Ziona zanakavavy no hifaliako amin’ ny famonjenao.
In order that I may relate all thy praises in the gates of the daughters of Zion: I will be glad in thy salvation.
15 Ny jentilisa efa latsaka tamin’ ny lavaka izay nohadiny, ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny efa nahazo ny tongony,
Sunk are nations in the ditch that they have prepared: in this net which they had laid in secret is their own foot caught.
16 Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.
The Lord is made known: he executed justice: through the doing of his own hands is the wicked ensnared. Higgayon, (Selah)
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 return into hell, all the nations that are forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Fa tsy ho mandrakizay no hanadinoana ny malahelo; ary tsy ho very mandrakizay ny fanantenan’ ny mahantra.
For not everlastingly shall the needy be forgotten: the expectation 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 the mortal boast of his strength; let nations be judged before thy face.
20 Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)
Place, O Lord, fear over them: let nations know, that they are but mortals. (Selah)
