Salamo 13

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your 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] sorrows in my heart daily? 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;

Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

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

But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

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

I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
