Salamo 18
1 Kokoako irehe ry Iehovà, haozarako.
For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said, 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.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strong rock, in him will I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Kanjieko t’Iehovà, fa mañeva ho rengèñe; vaho votsotse amo rafelahikoo.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Vinandibandi’ o vahen-kavilasio, le ho nandimpotse ahy ty fisorotombaha’ i Beliale;
The cords of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came on 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 out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
7 Niezeñezeñe vaho nihitikitike amy zao ty tane; niozoñozoñe naho nanginikinike ty faha’ o vohitseo amy fifombo’ey.
Then the earth shook and trembled, me foundations also of the mountains moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 Niforoake hatoeñe o fiantsona’eo naho boak’ am-palie’e ao ty afo nahaforototo, nahasolebatse ty foroha.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 Nazè’e ka i likerañey vaho nizotso; ieñe mangonkòñe ty tambane’ o fandia’eo.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick 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 flew swiftly 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.
He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion round about him; darkness of waters, 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, 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 in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Nahì’e mb’eo o ana-pàle’eo, le nampivarakaihe’e; nampiriaria’e ty helatse vaho nampivalitsikotahe’e.
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; yea, lightnings manifold, 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 waters appeared, and the foundations of the world 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 sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.
17 Rinomba’e amy rafelahiko maozatsey, amo malaiñe ahikoo, amy t’ie nifatratse te amako.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18 Natretré’ iereo amy andro naha-ampohek’ ahikoy, fe nañolots’ ahiko t’Iehovà.
They came 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 also 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 rewarded me according to my righteousness; 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 judgments were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.
23 Tokan-tro ama’e iraho, vaho milie-batañe tsy hanao sida;
I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Aa le tinambe’ Iehovà amy havañonakoy, ami’ty falio-tañako am-pivazohoa’e.
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Ami’ty mitretre ro iboaha’o ho mpiferenaiñe, ami’ty vañoñe ro iboaha’o ho vantañe,
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;
26 ami’ty mikanitsoke ro iboaha’o ho ki’e. vaho ami’ty mengoke ro iboaha’o ho minironiroke.
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 Toe rombahe’o ty tretram-po, fe arè’o o maso mitahèbokeo.
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
28 Ihe ro mamiañe ty jiroko, mampazava o iekoo ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko.
For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will lighten my darkness.
29 Ihe ro hañoridañako ty firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; mahavokon-jolok’ ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall.
30 Aa naho i Andrianañahare! hiringiri’e ty lala’e, niventeañe o fepè’ Iehovào; Ie ty Mpañaro’ ze hene miato ama’e
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.
31 Ia t’i Andrianañahare naho tsy Iehovà? Ia ty lamilamy naho tsy i Andrianañaharen-tikañey?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, beside our God?
32 T’i Andrianañahare mpanìkiñe ahy an-kaozarañe, vaho mpamantañe ty liako.
The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 Ampanahafe’e amo tombom-panalokeo o tombokoo, avotra’e amo haboakoo.
He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places,
34 Aò’e hifandrapake o tañakoo, mahavohotse fale torisìke o sirakoo.
He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a 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 hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Nihalavae’o ty fandingàñako ambaneko eo, fe tsy nidorasitse o tombokoo.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
37 Nihoridañeko o rafelahikoo le nahatratse, tsy himpoly iraho naho tsy t’ie fonga rotsake.
I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them: neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
38 Ie tinomboko tsy hiongake ka, nikorovok’ ambane’ tomboko eo.
I will smite them through that they shall not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet.
39 Fa nampidiañe’o amako ty haozarañe hialiako naho ampiandalie’o amako o miatreatre ahikoo.
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Nampitolihe’o amako ty hàto’ o rafelahikoo, vaho rinotsako o malaiñ’ahikoo.
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.
41 Nikaike iereo, fe tsy amam-pandrombake— am’Iehovà, fe tsy tinoi’e.
They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Aa le dinemodemoko ho deboke, haboelen-tioke iereo, nariako hoe litsak’ an-dalañe ey.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the mire 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 strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 Vata’e mahajanjiñe iereo, le manoiñe ahy. mitsolofìñe amako o anan-drenetaneo.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 Minik’ avao o anan’ambahinio, le mihondrahondra t’ie miakatse am-pitsifira’e ao.
The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
46 Veloñe t’Iehovà! Andriaño i lamilamikoy! onjoneñe t’i Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko,
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation:
47 i Andrianañahare mpamale-fate ho ahiy, naho mampiandaly ondatio ambaneko eo,
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
48 Haha’e amo rafelahikoo iraho, toe onjone’o ambone’ o mpitroatse amakoo, vaho avotso’o am’ ondaty mitrotrofiakeo.
He rescueth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest 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 unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto 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 sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
