Salamo 28

1 Ihe, ry Iehovà ro kanjieko, ry Lamilamiko, ko mañovok’ ahy, kera, hianjiñe, le hanahake o mizotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’aoo iraho.

A psalm of David. Lord, my rock, I'm calling out to you. Please listen to me! For if you don't respond, I'll be like those who go down into the grave.

2 Janjiño ty feon-kalaliko naho itoreovako, ie añonjonako sirañe mb’amy anjomba’o miavakey.

Listen as I appeal for mercy, as I call for help, as I hold up my hands in prayer towards your holy Temple.

3 Ko kororohe’o hitraok’ amo lo-tserekeo, amo mpanao raty mivolan-kanitsiñe an-drañe’eo, te mone fikinian-­draty ty am-po’e ao.

Don't drag me off with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak nicely to their neighbors while in their minds they're plotting evil.

4 Ondroho mira amo sata’eo, naho hambañe ami’ty haratia’ o fitoloña’eo; eka, avaho mira amo satan-taña’eo; valeo ama’e ty mañeva.

Give them what they deserve for their evil actions. Pay them back for what they've done. Give them the reward they've earned!

5 Amy te tsy haoñe’ iareo o tolon-draha’ Iehovào, ndra o fitoloñam-pità’eo. ho rotsahe’e iereo, le tsy hatroa’e ka.

For they don't pay any attention to what the Lord does, or to what he created. So he will destroy them—they will never be restored.

6 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, fa jinanji’e ty feon-kalaliko!

Praise the Lord! For he has heard my appeal for mercy!

7 Iehovà ro haozarako naho fikalako, ty fiatoa’ ty troko, toe fa nimbaen-draho, aa le irebeha’ ty troko vaho rengèko an-tsabo.

The Lord is my strength and my shield. I trust in him and he helps me. I'm so happy, and I sing my thanks to him.

8 Haozara’iareo t’Iehovà, kijolim-pandrombahañe i noriza’ey.

The Lord gives strength to his people; he is a safe refuge for the one he has anointed.

9 Rombaho ondati’oo, naho ampanintsiño o lova’oo; Araho iereo vaho otroño nainai’e.

Save your people! Bless your “special possession”! Be their shepherd and carry them in your arms forever!
