Salamo 13

1 Pak’ ombia, ry Iehovà? Ho haliño’o nainai’e hao iraho? Pak’ombia ty hañetaha’o laharañe amako?

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Sikal’ombia ty hitsakoreako an-troko ao ty haoreako, ie añ’ovako ao lomoñandro? Ampara’ te ombia ty hañonjonañe ty rafelahikoo ambone ahy?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Vazohò, naho toiño iraho, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko; hazavao o masokoo; tsy mone hiroroako ty firoron-kavilasy;

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

4 Vaho hanao ty hoe i rafelahikoy: rinebako re; ke hirebeha’ o malaiñ’ ahikoo t’ie mibolatitse.

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Fe fiatoako ty figahiñan’ arofo’o; hirebeha’ ty troko i fandrombaha’oy.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Ho saboeko t’Iehovà, amy te nampibodobodoe’e.

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
