< Salamo 3 >
1 Ry Iehovà, Akore ty fitomboa’ o mpamorefore ahikoo! Maro ty miongake hiatreatre ahy.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Lako ty manao ty hoe ty amako: Tsy ama’e ty fandrombahan’ Añahare. Selà
Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
3 Fa Ihe, ry Iehovà, ro kalan-defo mañohoñ’ ahy, ty engeko naho ty Mpampiandra ty lohako.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Ie koiheko am-peo t’Iehovà, le janjiñe’e amy vohi’e miavakey. Selà
With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. (Selah)
5 Màndre iraho vaho miroro; tsekake amy te mpañimba ahy t’Iehovà.
I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
6 Tsy hembañako i lahiale miarikoboñe hiatreatre ahikoy.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Miongaha, ry Iehovà! Rombaho iraho ry Andrianañahareko, fa fonga tinampifi’o ty valañorà’ o rafelahikoo; vaho pinekapeka’o ty nife’ o lo-tserekeo.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Am’ Iehovà ty fandrombahañe; naho am’ondati’oo ty fitahia’o. Selà
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. (Selah)
