Salamo 102
1 ie andeme’e vaho mandoa toreo aman’Añahare. Ry Iehovà, janjiño ty halaliko; le ampomb’ama’o ty toreoko.
Yahweh, listen to what I am praying; hear me while I cry out to you!
2 Ko aeta’o amako ty lahara’o añ’andron-kaloviloviañe. atokilaño amako ty ravembia’o; malisà hanoiñe ahy ami’ty andro ikanjiako.
Do not (turn away/hide yourself) from me when I (have troubles/am distressed)! Listen to me, and answer me quickly now, when I am calling out to you!
3 Mihelañe hoe hatoeñe o androkoo; miforehetse hoe an-toñak’ ao o taolakoo.
My life is ending, like smoke that disappears [SIM]; I have [a high fever which] burns my body like a fire burns [SIM].
4 Pinaoke hoe ahetse ty troko vaho miheatse toe andikofako ty mitozin-kaneñe.
[I feel like] I am drying up like grass [SIM] that has been beaten/trampled down, and I no longer have a desire to eat food.
5 Mipitek’ an-taolako ao ty holiko ty ami’ty volam-piselekaiñako.
I groan loudly, and my bones can be seen under my skin [because I have become very thin].
6 Hoe tangongo am-patrañe añe iraho, hoe vorondolon-dratraratra.
I am like a [lonely and despised] vulture in the desert, like an owl by itself in the abandoned ruins [of a building/city].
7 Mandre an-tsareke iraho; manahake ty tivoke miereñereñe an-tampènake ey.
I lie awake [at night]; [because there is no one to comfort me], I am like a lonely bird [sitting] on a housetop [SIM].
8 Mañinje ahy lomoñandro o rafelahikoo; mamàtsy ahiko o mpirengevok’amakoo,
All during the day my enemies insult me; those who make fun of me mention my name [and say, “May you be like him”] when they curse people.
9 Fa nihaneko hoe ampemba ty lavenoke, vaho linaroko firovetse ty finomako,
Because you are very angry [DOU] with me, now [I sit in] ashes [while I am suffering greatly]; and those ashes [fall on] the bread/food that I eat, and what I drink has my tears mixed with it. [It is as though] you have picked me up and thrown me away!
10 ty ami’ty haviñera’o naho ty fifombo’o, fa rinambe’o iraho le nahifi’o añe.
11 Manahake ty fipononòran-talinjo o androkoo; vaho miheatse hoe boka iraho.
My time to remain alive is like an evening shadow [that will soon be gone] [SIM]. I am withering like grass withers [in the hot sun].
12 Nainai’e eo irehe ry Iehovà, ty Tahina’o an-tarirats’ an-tariratse.
But Yahweh, you are our king who rules [MTY] forever; people who are not yet born will remember you.
13 Hiongake irehe hitretre i Tsiône, fa tsatoke te hisohe’o, ie tondroke i nifantañañey.
You will arise and be merciful to [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem; it is now time for you to do that; this is the time for you to be kind to them.
14 No’ o mpitoro’oo o vato’eo; mbore kokoa’ iereo o lembo’eo.
Even though (the city has been destroyed/our enemies have destroyed our city), we who serve you still love the stones that [were formerly] in the city walls; because now there is rubble everywhere, we, your people, are very sad when we see it.
15 Soa te hañeveña’ o fifeheañeo ty tahina’ Iehovà, naho ze hene mpanjaka’ ty tane toy ty enge’o;
Yahweh, [some day the people of other] nations will revere you [MTY]; all the kings on earth will see that you are very glorious/great.
16 fa nitratrañàhe’ Iehovà ty Tsiône ie niboak’ amy enge’ey.
You will rebuild Jerusalem, and you will appear there with your glory/brightness.
17 Nihaoñe’e ty halali’ o poi’eo; vaho tsy niambohoa’e ty toreo’ iareo
You will listen to the prayers of your people who are homeless, and you will (not ignore them/do what they request) [LIT] when they plead with you to help them.
18 Ho patereñe ho a ty tariratse mandimbe, soa te handrenge Ià ondaty mboe tsy nanoeñeo:
Yahweh, [I want to] write these words in order that people in future years [will know what] you have done, in order that people who are not born yet will praise you.
19 Nivazohoe’e boak’an-toe’e masiñe ankaboañ’ añe, nisary ty tane toy boak’ an-dikerañe eñe t’Iehovà,
They will know that you looked down from your holy/sacred place in heaven [DOU] and saw [what was happening on] the earth.
20 hijanjiñe ty fiñeoñeom-pirohy, hañaha o nafatse havetrakeo
They will know that you hear prisoners groaning and that you will set free those who have been told, “You will be executed.”
21 soa te ho talilie’ ondaty e Tsiône ao ty tahina’ Iehovà, naho ty enge’e e Ierosalaime ao,
As a result, people in Jerusalem will praise you [DOU] for what you [have done]
22 ie mifanontoñe ondatio, naho o fifeheañeo hitoroñe Iehovà.
when many people [from other people-groups] and [those who are citizens of other] kingdoms gather to worship you.
23 Nado’e deme’e iraho añivon-dalañe eo; nitomore’e o androkoo.
[But now] you have caused me to become weak while I am still young; [I think that] I will (not live much longer/ very long/soon die).
24 Hoe iraho, Ry Andrianañahareko, ehe, ko ampisintahe’o añivo’ o androkoo iraho; mitakatse ze kila tariratse o tao’oo.
I say to you, “My God, do not cause me to die now, before I become old! You live forever!
25 Haehae irehe ro nañoreñe ty tane toy, satam-pità’o o likerañeo.
You created the world long ago, and you made (the heavens/everything in the sky) with your own hands.
26 Ho momoke iereo, fa nainai’e eo irehe; fonga hikoneatse hoe sikiñe hambo’e, ampilimbeze’o hoe sarimbo vaho ho vaoe’o iereo.
The earth and the heavens/sky will disappear, but you will remain. They will wear out like clothes wear out. You will get rid of them like [people get rid of] old clothes, and they will no longer exist,
27 Fe tsy mihotike irehe, tsy mbia higadoñe o tao’oo.
but you are [not like the things that you created], [because you are] always the same; you never die.
28 Le lia’e ho eo o anam-pitoro’oo, le hijadoñe añatrefa’o eo o tiri’eo.
[Some day] our children will live safely [in Jerusalem], and their descendants will be protected in your presence.”
