Salamo 20

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

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

May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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 protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled 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 Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him 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 glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Nibokoke iereo naho nikorovoke mitroatse zahay vaho mijohañe.

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
