Salamo 27
1 Hazavàko naho fandrombahako t’Iehovà, ia ty ihembañako? Fipaliram-piaiko t’Iehovà, ia ty hirevendreveñako?
[A Psalm] of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Ie niambotrak’ amako o lo-tserekeo hampibotseke o nofokoo; le nitsikapy vaho nikorovoke o malaiñ’ahio naho o rafelahikoo.
When evil-doers drew nigh against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
3 Ndra te hitobe hiatreatre ahy ty firimboñañe, tsy ho vorombeloñe ty troko; ndra te hitroatse amako ty hotakotake, mbe hitam-patokisañe.
Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
4 Raha raike ty nihalalieko am’ Iehovà, izay ty ho paiaeko: ty hitobohako añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao ze hene andro ivelomako, hahatrea ty hasoa-vinta’ Iehovà, vaho hañontàne añ’akiba’e ao.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
5 Ampipalira’e an-kijà’e ao t’ie an-tsam-poheke, akafi’e am-poreforetan-Kivoho’e ao; ampitongoa’e andigiligin-damilamy eo.
For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
6 Aa le honjoneñ’ ambone’ o rafelahiko miariseho ahio ty lohako. vaho ho banabanako soroñe an-drebeke mb’an-kivoho’e ao; ho saboako, eka ho rengèko an-tsabo t’Iehovà.
And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
7 Janjiño ry Iehovà, naho ikaihako am-peo! Iferenaiño vaho toiño.
Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me.
8 Nitaroñe’o ami’ty foko ty hoe: Paiao ty tareheko; toe ho tsoeheko ty vinta’o, ry Iehovà.
My heart said to thee, I have diligently sought thy face: thy face, O Lord, I will seek.
9 Ko aetak’ amako ty lahara’o; ko apo’o an-kaviñerañe ty mpitoro’o, Ihe mpañolotse ahy; le ko aitoa’o, naho ko farie’o ry Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko.
Turn not thy face away from me, turn not thou away from thy servant in anger: be thou my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
10 Ndra t’ie nadon-drae naho rene, ho rambese’ Iehovà.
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
11 Anaro ahy ty lala’o, ry Iehovà vaho tehafo mb’an-dalañe mira ty amo rafelahikoo.
Teach me, O Lord, in thy way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Ko asese’o an-tsatri’ o malaiñ’ ahio; fa atretréo o mpanara vandeo, naho o mikofòke hasiahañeo.
Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
13 Hete! atokisako te ho treako an-tanen-kaveloñe ao ty hasoa’ Iehovà—
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Itamao t’Iehovà, mihaozara, le mihafatrara arofo; eka, liñiso t’Iehovà.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let thy heart be strengthened: yea wait on the Lord.
