Salamo 13

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, YHWH? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide 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 sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

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

Look, and answer me, YHWH, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in 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," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of YHWH Most High.
