Salamo 124

1 Naho tsy Iehovà ty nañimba antika —ano ty hoe r’Israele—

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

2 Naho tsy nañolotse’ antika t’Iehovà, ie naname an-tikañe ondatio,

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

3 le ho nagodra’ iereo veloñe ami’ty fisolebaran-kabosehañe;

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

4 le ho ­nandempotse antika o ranoo, ho nisorotombak’ amo ain-tikañeo i torahañey,

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 Eka ho nalipo’ o rano mitroñeo o ain-tikañeo,

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

6 Andriaño t’Iehovà, fa tsy napò’e tika ho fitsatsàm-pamotsi’ iareo.

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

7 Niborofotse tika hoe voroñe am-­bitsom-pitsindro-boroñe, nipototse i fandrikey, le nibotafotse tika.

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

8 Fañimbàn-tikañe ty tahina’ Iehovà, Andrianamboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy.

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
