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 leader of the music; to be sung in the manner or with the voice of maidens. To the Benites, or to Ben. A psalm of David.” I will praise thee, O LORD! with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
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 praise to thy name, O thou Most High!
3 Satria lasa nihodina ny fahavaloko, nirepirepy izy ka ringana tsy ho eo anatrehanao.
All my enemies are turned back; 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 dost defend my right and my cause; Thou sittest upon the throne, a righteous judge.
5 Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.
Thou rebukest the nations; Thou destroyest the wicked; Thou blottest out their name for evermore!
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 fallen, —a desolation for ever! Thou, O LORD! hast destroyed their cities; Their memory itself hath perished!
7 Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,
The LORD reigneth for ever; He hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.
He judgeth the world in righteousness; He administereth judgment to the nations with uprightness.
9 Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
Yea, the LORD is 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.
They who know thy name put their trust in thee; For thou, O LORD! forsakest not them that seek thee!
11 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.
Sing praises to the LORD, who reigneth in Zion; Declare his doings among the people!
12 Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.
As the avenger of blood, he remembereth the distressed; He forgetteth not their complaint.
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 pity upon me, [[said I, ]] O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; 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.
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee.”
15 Ny jentilisa efa latsaka tamin’ ny lavaka izay nohadiny, ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny efa nahazo ny tongony,
The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken.
16 Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.
Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. [[Stringed instruments. (Pause)
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 driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Fa tsy ho mandrakizay no hanadinoana ny malahelo; ary tsy ho very mandrakizay ny fanantenan’ ny mahantra.
For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted 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 prevail; Let the nations be judged by thee!
20 Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)
Strike terror into them, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! (Pause)
