Salamo 18
1 Kokoako irehe ry Iehovà, haozarako.
I love thee, O LORD, my strength!
2 Ry lamilamiko, kijoly fipalirako, naho mpañaha ahiko; r’Iehovà, ry tseram-bato fitsolohako, fikalan-defoko vaho tsifam-pandrombahañe ahiko, fitilik’ aboko t’i Andrianañahareko.
Jehovah is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I trust; My shield, my strong defence, and my high tower.
3 Kanjieko t’Iehovà, fa mañeva ho rengèñe; vaho votsotse amo rafelahikoo.
I called upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And was delivered from my enemies.
4 Vinandibandi’ o vahen-kavilasio, le ho nandimpotse ahy ty fisorotombaha’ i Beliale;
The snares of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction filled me with dismay;
The snares of the underworld surrounded me, And the nets of death seized upon me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Nikoike Iehovà t’ie nalovilovy, nikaik’ imba aman’ Añahareko; jinanji’e an-kivoho’e ao ty feoko; vaho niheo añatrefa’e an-dravembia’e, ty toreoko.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried unto my God; He heard my voice from his palace, And my cry came before him into his ears.
7 Niezeñezeñe vaho nihitikitike amy zao ty tane; niozoñozoñe naho nanginikinike ty faha’ o vohitseo amy fifombo’ey.
Then the earth quaked and trembled; The foundations of the mountains rocked and were shaken, Because his wrath was kindled.
8 Niforoake hatoeñe o fiantsona’eo naho boak’ am-palie’e ao ty afo nahaforototo, nahasolebatse ty foroha.
A smoke went up from his nostrils, And fire from his mouth devoured; Burning coals shot forth from him.
9 Nazè’e ka i likerañey vaho nizotso; ieñe mangonkòñe ty tambane’ o fandia’eo.
He bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet;
10 Niningira’e ty kerobe le nitiliñe; eka nibirirìñe añ’ela’ i tiokey.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 Nanoe’e fietahañe ty hamoromoroñañe; ho kibohotse hañohok’ aze, ty hangonkòn-drano, ty rahoñe migoboñe an-dikerañe ey.
And he made darkness his covering; His pavilion round about him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 Niboroboñak’ amo rahoñe milodolodoo ty havandra naho foroha mirekake amy fireandreañe añatrefa’ey,
At the brightness before him, his thick clouds passed away; Then came hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Nañàmpiñe an-dikerañe ao t’Iehovà, nampipoña-piarañanañañe t’i Andindimoneñe; havandra gadaboñe naho foroha mirebareba.
The LORD also thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice, Amid hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Nahì’e mb’eo o ana-pàle’eo, le nampivarakaihe’e; nampiriaria’e ty helatse vaho nampivalitsikotahe’e.
He sent forth his arrows, and scattered them; Continual lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Niboak’ amy zao o kadahan-dranoo, nikorendake o faha’ ty tane toio, ami’ty fitrevo’o ry Iehovà, ami’ty fitorotosi’ ty kofòm-piantsona’o.
Then the channels of the deep were seen, And the foundations of the earth were laid bare At thy rebuke, O LORD! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 Nirahe’e boak’añ’abo eñe, le rinambe’e iraho; sininto’e boak’ an-drano maro.
He stretched forth his hand from above; he took me, And drew me out of deep waters.
17 Rinomba’e amy rafelahiko maozatsey, amo malaiñe ahikoo, amy t’ie nifatratse te amako.
He delivered me from my strong enemy; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me.
18 Natretré’ iereo amy andro naha-ampohek’ ahikoy, fe nañolots’ ahiko t’Iehovà.
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay.
19 Nampionjone’e mb’an-toetse mangadagadan-draho, hinaha’e amy te no’e.
He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Nanambe ahiko ami’ty havantañako t’Iehovà; ami’ty halio tañako ro nañavaha’e ahiko.
The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 Amy te ambenako o lala’ Iehovào; vaho tsy mivik’ aman’Añahareko am-bodongeron-draho.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Hene tañatrefako o taro’eo, le tsy nampisitaheko amako o fañè’eo.
For all his laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Tokan-tro ama’e iraho, vaho milie-batañe tsy hanao sida;
I was upright before him, And kept myself from iniquity.
24 Aa le tinambe’ Iehovà amy havañonakoy, ami’ty falio-tañako am-pivazohoa’e.
Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
25 Ami’ty mitretre ro iboaha’o ho mpiferenaiñe, ami’ty vañoñe ro iboaha’o ho vantañe,
To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright;
26 ami’ty mikanitsoke ro iboaha’o ho ki’e. vaho ami’ty mengoke ro iboaha’o ho minironiroke.
To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse.
27 Toe rombahe’o ty tretram-po, fe arè’o o maso mitahèbokeo.
For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down.
28 Ihe ro mamiañe ty jiroko, mampazava o iekoo ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
Thou causest my lamp to shine; Jehovah, my God, enlighteneth my darkness.
29 Ihe ro hañoridañako ty firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; mahavokon-jolok’ ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
For through thee I have broken through troops; Through my God I have leaped over walls.
30 Aa naho i Andrianañahare! hiringiri’e ty lala’e, niventeañe o fepè’ Iehovào; Ie ty Mpañaro’ ze hene miato ama’e
The ways of God are just and true; His word is pure, tried in the fire; He is a shield to all who put their trust in him.
31 Ia t’i Andrianañahare naho tsy Iehovà? Ia ty lamilamy naho tsy i Andrianañaharen-tikañey?
Who, then, is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
32 T’i Andrianañahare mpanìkiñe ahy an-kaozarañe, vaho mpamantañe ty liako.
It is God that girded me with strength, And made my way plain.
33 Ampanahafe’e amo tombom-panalokeo o tombokoo, avotra’e amo haboakoo.
He made my feet like the hind's, And set me in my high places;
34 Aò’e hifandrapake o tañakoo, mahavohotse fale torisìke o sirakoo.
He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the bow of brass.
35 Natolo’o ahy ka ty fikalan-defom-pandrombaha’o; naho nanozañe ahy ty fitàn-kavana’o, nampionjoñe ahiko ty hamoran’ arofo’o.
Thou gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great.
36 Nihalavae’o ty fandingàñako ambaneko eo, fe tsy nidorasitse o tombokoo.
Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble.
37 Nihoridañeko o rafelahikoo le nahatratse, tsy himpoly iraho naho tsy t’ie fonga rotsake.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them.
38 Ie tinomboko tsy hiongake ka, nikorovok’ ambane’ tomboko eo.
I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet.
39 Fa nampidiañe’o amako ty haozarañe hialiako naho ampiandalie’o amako o miatreatre ahikoo.
Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me.
40 Nampitolihe’o amako ty hàto’ o rafelahikoo, vaho rinotsako o malaiñ’ahikoo.
Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated me.
41 Nikaike iereo, fe tsy amam-pandrombake— am’Iehovà, fe tsy tinoi’e.
They cried, but there was none to help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42 Aa le dinemodemoko ho deboke, haboelen-tioke iereo, nariako hoe litsak’ an-dalañe ey.
I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of the streets.
43 Vinotso’o ami’ty fioliñoliña’ ondatio iraho, le nampifehè’o ahy o fifelehañeo; mitoroñe ahy ondaty nofikoo.
Thou hast delivered me from the assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me;
44 Vata’e mahajanjiñe iereo, le manoiñe ahy. mitsolofìñe amako o anan-drenetaneo.
They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me;
45 Minik’ avao o anan’ambahinio, le mihondrahondra t’ie miakatse am-pitsifira’e ao.
Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds.
46 Veloñe t’Iehovà! Andriaño i lamilamikoy! onjoneñe t’i Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko,
Jehovah is the living God; blessed be my rock; Exalted be the God of my salvation!
47 i Andrianañahare mpamale-fate ho ahiy, naho mampiandaly ondatio ambaneko eo,
It is God who hath given me vengeance, And subdued the nations under me;
48 Haha’e amo rafelahikoo iraho, toe onjone’o ambone’ o mpitroatse amakoo, vaho avotso’o am’ ondaty mitrotrofiakeo.
He delivered me from my enemies; Yea, thou hast lifted me up above my adversaries; Thou hast saved me from the violent man!
49 Aa le handriañeko amo fifeheañeo irehe ry Iehovà; vaho ho saboeko ty Tahina’o.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD! among the nations, And sing praises to thy name.
50 Ra’elahy ty fandrombahañe atolo’e amy mpanjaka’ey; vaho iferenaiña’e i noriza’ey, i Davide naho i tarira’ey nainai’e donia.
Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth mercy to his anointed, —To David and to his posterity for ever.
