Salamo 10
1 Akore te Ihe mijohañe añe, ry Iehovà? Ino ty ietaha’o an-tsan-kasotriañe?
Lord, why are you so distant? Why do you hide from me in times of trouble?
2 Am-pirengevohañe ty añoridaña’ o raty tserekeo o rarakeo; f’ie tsepahe’ o fikitroha’eo avao.
The wicked chase down the poor with impunity. May they be trapped by the evil schemes they themselves invented.
3 Sengè’ i tsivokatsey o fañirian-tro’eo, tata’e ty fatitiañe, naho inje’e t’Iehovà.
For the wicked boast about what they want to do. They praise the greedy, but treat the Lord with contempt.
4 Ty tsivokatse amy fitoeboran-tarehe’ey, tsy mitsoek’ aze; ty hoe avao ro fitsakorea’e: Tsy eo ze o Andrianañahare zao.
The wicked are too proud to come to God. In all their thinking they never consider God.
5 Miraorao nainai’e o sata’eo; kanao mitiotiotse ambone, tsy am-pahaisaha’e eo o fizakà’oo, le fonga ibohaboha’e o malaiñ’ azeo.
What they do always seems to go well. They're unaware of God's judgments. They ridicule all their enemies.
6 Hoe ty aereñeren-tro’e: Tsy hasiotse iraho, ndra an-tsa an-tsa tsy ho ampoheke ka.
They tell themselves, “Nothing bad is going to happen to me. I'll never be in trouble!”
7 Pea hateràñe naho katramo naho fisenge-hery i falie’ey; kilily naho haloloañe ty ambane’ i famele’ey.
Their speech is full of cursing, lies, and threats; their tongues are always ready to spread trouble and cause evil.
8 Itoboha’e o fivoñonañe an-drovao amo fietahañeo hamonoa’e ty vantañe; jilojilovem-pihaino’e ty tsy amam-pañimba.
They hide out in ambush in the villages, ready to kill innocent passers-by. They are always on the lookout for their next victim.
9 Ie mitingañe añetak’ ao hoe liona ami’ty fitsifira’e; mitampoñe hitsepake ty rarake, hiambotrak’ ami’ty mpisotry, hikozozota’e amy harato’ey.
They lie in ambush like a lion ready to attack, ready to leap out from their hiding place to seize their victim. They capture the helpless, throwing a net over them.
10 Mibotreke re, mifinake; vaho mikorovok’ amy figorea’ey i pìtso-pañolotsey.
Their victims are knocked down, laid low. They fall under the strength of the wicked.
11 Hoe re an-troke ao: Fa nandikofan’ Añahare, fa naeta’e ty lahara’e; tsy ho vazoho’e ka.
They tell themselves, “God won't notice. He's looking the other way. He won't ever see anything.”
12 Miongaha ry Iehovà; ry Andrianañahare, zonjò ty Fità’o; ko amoea’o o mpirekeo.
Take a stand, Lord! Raise your hand to strike! Don't forget those who can't defend themselves.
13 Akore te ati’ o tsivokatseo t’i Andrianañahare, ie manao an-tro’e ao ty hoe: Tsy ipaia’e?
Why do the wicked think they can treat God with such contempt? Why do they think that God won't make them accountable?
14 Toe vazoho’o; eka fa oni’o ty ampoheke naho ty embetse le ho valeam-pità’o, ihe ro iatoa’ ty tsy aman’imba; vaho mpañimba ty bode-rae.
But you do see the trouble and grief they cause. Take it into your own hands. The helpless trust in you; you defend the orphans.
15 Pozaho ty sira’ o tsivokatseo naho i piaroteñey, karaofo ty haratia’e ie tsy nilefe tsikaraheñe.
Destroy the power of the wicked, those evil people! Call each of them to account until there are none left!
16 Mpanjaka nainai’e t’Iehovà; fa mongotse an-tane’e eo o fifeheañeo.
Lord, you are King forever and ever! The nations will vanish from their lands.
17 Ry Iehovà, fa jinanji’o ty halali’ o tretram-poo; hafatraro ty arofo’ iareo atokilaño o ravembia’oo;
Lord, you have heard the longing cries of those who are suffering. You will encourage them, for you will listen to them.
18 Hañomea’o to o bode-raeo naho o forekekeñeo, tsy hampinevenevera’ ondaty an-tane atoio ka.
You will defend the rights of orphans and the oppressed so that those who are mere human beings here on earth will never terrorize them again.
