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.

[For the choir director; according to Muth-labben. A Psalm by David.] I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

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

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

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

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

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

For you have upheld my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

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

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever 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 enemy is overtaken by endless ruin; and the very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

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

But Jehovah reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

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

And he will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Jehovah will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

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

And those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek you.

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

Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

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

For he who takes revenge against murderers remembers them. He doesn't forget 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,

Have mercy on me, Jehovah. See my affliction by those who hate me. You lift 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.

so that I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in your salvation.

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

The nations have fallen into the pit they had made. In the net which they hid, their feet are caught.

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

Jehovah has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (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 wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even 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 needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.

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

Arise, Jehovah. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your presence.

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

Terrify them, Jehovah. Let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
