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 chief musician; set to Muth Labben style. A psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart; I will tell about all your marvelous deeds.
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, 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 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 have defended my just cause; you sit on your throne, a righteous judge!
5 Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.
You 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 crumbled like ruins when you overthrew their cities. All remembrance of them has perished.
7 Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,
But Yahweh remains forever; he has established his throne for justice.
8 Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.
He will judge the world with righteousness, and he will execute judgment for the nations with fairness.
9 Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Ary hatoky Anao izay mahalala ny anaranao; fa tsy foinao izay mitady Anao, Jehovah ô.
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Yahweh, do not abandon those who seek you.
11 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.
Sing praises to Yahweh, who rules in Zion; tell the nations what he has done.
12 Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.
For the God who avenges bloodshed remembers; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.
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, Yahweh; see how I am oppressed by those who hate me, you who can snatch me from the gates of death.
14 Mba holazaiko avokoa ny fideràna Anao rehetra; eo am-bavahadin’ i Ziona zanakavavy no hifaliako amin’ ny famonjenao.
Oh, that I might proclaim 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 sunk down into the pit that they made; their feet are caught in the net that they hid.
16 Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.
Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked is ensnared by his own actions. (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 are turned back and sent to Sheol, 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 will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the oppressed be forever dashed.
19 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, aoka tsy hahery ny olona; aoka hotsaraina eo anatrehanao ny jentilisa.
Arise, Yahweh; do not let man win against you; may the nations be judged in your sight.
20 Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)
Terrify them, Yahweh; may the nations know that they are mere men. (Selah)
