Salamo 20

1 Hanoiñ’azo an-tsan-kasotriañe t’Iehovà, hañonjoñ’ azo ankaboañe ey ty tahinan’ Añahare’ Iakobe.

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

2 Hañitrifa’e imba boak’amy toe-miavakey hanohañ’ azo hirik’e Tsiône ao.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;

3 Ho tiahi’e o enga-mahakama iabio, vaho hiantofa’e o fisoroña’oo! Selà

May he remember all thy meat-offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Hatolots’ azo ze salalan’ arofo’o le ho henefeñe iaby o ereñere’oo.

May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.

5 Ho poñafe’ay rebeke ty fandrombaha’o, ty tahinan’Añahare’ay ro añelahelà’ay kobaiñe; ho henefa’ Iehovà abey o halali’oo.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Apotako henaneo, te ho rombahe’ Iehovà i noriza’ey; ho toiñe’e boak’ an-dindi’e masiñe ao, amy haozaram-pandrombaha’ i fitàn-kavana’eiy.

Now I know that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Miato an-tsarete o ila’eo, an-tsoavala ka ty ila’e; fa ho tiahi’ay ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; but we will invoke the name of the Lord our God.

8 Nibokoke iereo naho nikorovoke mitroatse zahay vaho mijohañe.

They are prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.

9 Rombaho, ry Iehovà; hanoiñe abey i mpanjakay te kanjie’ay!

O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].
