Salamo 129

1 Sabo-Pionjonañe Beteke nisilofen-draho boak’ami’ty nahajalahy ahiko— ano ty hoe r’Israele—

A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

2 Beteke niforeforèñe sikal’amy te izaho niajalahy, f’ie tsy nahagioke ahy.

'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

3 Nitrabahe’ o mpitrabakeo ty sakamamovoko, nanoe’ iareo lava o vavahalioo.

The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

4 Vantañe t’Iehovà; navitso’e ty namahora’ o lo-tserekeo ahy.

The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

5 Hampolieñe an-kasalarañe ze malaiñe i Tsiône.

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

6 Ie hampanahafeñe ami’ty ahetse an-tafo traño eo, hiheatse aolo’ ty hibeiza’e,

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

7 toe tsy hahaeneñe ty fità’ i mpanatakey, ndra ty araña’ i mpifehe’ o fehe’eo.

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 Vaho tsy anoe’ o mpandrioñeo ty hoe: Ho ama’ areo ty fañanintsi’ Iehovà! Itatà’ay ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà!

Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
