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 of David. How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt 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 mine 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 LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

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

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [lest] mine 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 mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation:

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

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
