Salamo 142

1 Fañòha’ i Davide; ty Halali’e tan-dakato ao Mitoreo am-peo am’ Iehovà iraho, hihalaly tretre am’Iehovà ty feoko.

Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. I cry with my voice unto the LORD; with my voice unto the LORD do I make supplication.

2 Adobako añatrefa’e ty toreoko; volañeko añatrefa’e o mahaferenaiñe ahikoo.

I pour out my complaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

3 Ie nitoirañe añ’ovako ao ty troko, niarofoana’o ty liako, amy lalan-tsileke fijelanjelañakoy ty nañetaha’ iareo fandrike.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

4 Toliho mb’an-tañan-kavanako le vazohò, te tsy eo ty mañaoñ’ ahy. tsy eo ty hipalirako; tsy ahoa’ondaty ty fiaiko.

Look on [my] right hand, and see; for there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

5 Nitoreo ama’o iraho ry Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Ihe ro fitsolohako, ty anjarako an-tanen-kaveloñ’ ao.

I cried unto thee, O LORD; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

6 Janjiño ty fikaikaihako fa loho mirèke; hahao amo mpanao samporerak’ ahiio, fa fatratse te amako.

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 Akaro am-balabey ao ty fiaiko hibangoako ty tahina’o; hiropak’ amako o vañoñeo ami’ty fatariha’o amako.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
