Salamo 22
1 Andrianañahareko, Andrianañahareko, ino ty namorintseña’o ahiko? Ihe nitotse ami’ty fañimbàñ’ahy, amo volam-pitoreovakoo?
For the music director. To the tune “Doe of the Dawn.” A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan, asking for help?
2 O Andrianañahareko, koiheko handro, fe tsy toiñe’o; haleñe, fe tsy mijanjiñe.
My God, every day I cry out to you, but you don't answer; at night too, but I get no rest.
3 Toe masin-dRehe, imoneña’o ty fandrengea’ Israele.
Yet you are holy, and the praises of Israel are your throne.
4 Ama’o ty niatoan-droae’ay; niantoke iereo, le navotso’o.
Our forefathers trusted in you; they trusted and you rescued them.
5 Nikoaik’ ama’o, le nihahàñe; niato ama’o, le tsy nisalatse.
They cried out to you for help, and they were saved. They trusted in you and were not defeated.
6 Oletse iraho, fa tsy ondaty; fosae’ raolombelo, naho mavoe’ ondatio.
But I'm a worm, not a man, scorned and despised by everyone.
7 Mañinje ahy am-piankahafañe hene mitari-tsoñy ze mahaoniñ’ahy, vaho mikofikofi-doha, ami’ty hoe:
People who see me mock me. They laugh at me and shake their heads, saying,
8 Angao hiatoa’e t’Iehovà! Ie ro hañaha aze; apoho hasinta’e kanao noro’e!
“He trusts in the Lord—well then, let the Lord save him! If the Lord is such a friend, then let the Lord rescue him!”
9 Fa Ihe ro nañakatse Ahy an-koviñe ao; naho nampatokisa’o tam-patroan-dreneko eo.
However, you brought me safely through birth, and led me to trust in you at my mother's breasts.
10 Nafetsak’ ama’o iraho te niterake. Andrianañahareko irehe tan-kovin-dreneko ao.
I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
11 Ko mitotse amako, fa antitotse o feh’ ohatseo, vaho tsy amam-pañolotse.
Do not be distant from me, because trouble is close by and no one else can help.
12 Mañarikatok’ ahiko o añombe-lahio; o maoza’ i Basaneo ro mañarikoboñ’ ahy.
Enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
13 Itañataña’ iareo vava, manahake ty fireñetan-diona mañaolo.
Like roaring lions tearing at their prey they open their mouths wide against me.
14 Nadoañe hoe rano iraho, mikalitroke iaby o taolakoo; fa karafo’ tantele ty troko, mitranak’ añ’ovako ao.
I feel like I'm being poured out like water. I'm falling apart as if all my bones have become loose. My mind feels like it's wax melting inside me.
15 Mipike hoe tsilam-balàñe-tane o ozakoo, mipitek’ an-dañilañiko ty lelako; le nampandrea’o an-debo-kavilasy ao.
My strength has dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. You're burying me as if I'm already dead.
16 Miarikoboñe ahy o amboao; misarokohok’ amako ty kidìm-panao raty; fa trinofa’ iereo o tañakoo naho o tombokoo.
Evil men surround me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Mahaìake o taolako iabio iraho, sambae’ iareo, harefe’ iareo.
I'm so thin I can count all my bones. People stare at me and gloat.
18 Ifanjarà’ iareo o sikikoo, ifanoe’iereo tsato-piso i sarokoy.
They divide my clothing among them; they roll dice for my clothes.
19 F’ihe, ry Iehovà, ko mihak’ amako, ry Mpañimba, malisà hañolots’ahy!
But you, Lord, don't be far away from me! You are my strength—hurry, come and help me!
20 Avotsoro amy fibaray ty fiaiko, ty troko sarotse ami’ty fisorodidian’ amboa.
Save me from death by the sword! Save my life—the only one I have—from the dogs!
21 Hahao iraho am-bavan-diona! Toiño ty amo tsifan-drimoo!
Rescue me from the mouth of the lion and from the wild bulls!
22 Ho taroñeko an-drolongoko ty tahina’o; ho rengeako añivo’ i fivoriy.
I will tell my people all the wonderful things you have done; I will praise you in the congregation.
23 Ry mpañeveñe am’ Iehovào: irengeo! ry hene’ tiri’ Iakobeo, ijejò, irevendreveño, ry afe’ Israeleo.
Praise the Lord, all who worship him! Honor him, every descendant of Jacob! Be in awe of him, every descendant of Israel!
24 Amy te tsy nimavoe’e, tsy nampangorý aze ty hasotria’ o misotrio; naho tsy nañetaha’e laharañe, vaho jinanji’e t’ie nitoreo.
For he has not ridiculed or scorned the suffering of the poor; he has not turned away from them, he has listened to their cries for help.
25 Boak’ ama’o ty saboko am-pivory bey ao; havahako añatrefa’ ze mañeveñ’ ama’o o nifantàkoo.
You are the subject of my praise in the great assembly. I will fulfill my promises before those who worship you.
26 Hikama o rarakeo le ho anjañe; ho rengè’ o mipay azeo t’Iehovà; ho veloñe nainai’e ty arofo’ areo!
The poor shall eat, and they shall be satisfied. All who come to the Lord will praise him—may you all live forever!
27 Songa hahatiahy naho hitolik’ am’ Iehovà o olon-taneo, sindre hitalaho añatrefa’o ty hasavereña’ ze kila’ ondaty.
Everyone in the whole world will repent and return to the Lord; all the nations will worship before you.
28 A Iehovà i fifeheañey, Ie ty mpameleke o kilakila ondatio
For kingly power belongs to the Lord; he is the one who rules over the nations.
29 Hikama naho hitalaho ze hene miraorao an-tane atoy; fonga hibokok’ añatrefa’e o mizotso mb’an-debokeo; vaho ze tsy mahatam-beloñe.
All who prosper come to feast and worship. Bow down before him, all those destined for the grave—for none can keep themselves alive.
30 Hitoroñ’ Aze ty tiri’e; ho talilieñe amy tariratse manonjohiy i Talè,
Our descendants will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the Lord.
31 Homb’eo iereo hitalily ty havantaña’e am’ondaty mbe hasamakeo— t’ie nahafonitse.
They will come and tell those yet to be born how good the Lord is, and all that he has done!
