Salamo 31
1 Ama’o ao, ry Iehovà, ty fitsolohako; ko apoho ho salaren-ka, hahao amo havantaña’oo.
Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
2 Atokilaño amako ty ravembia’o, imbao masìka, t’ie ho lamilamy fipalirako, kijolim-pandrombahañe ahy.
Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
3 Toe Ihe ro lamilamiko naho kijoliko; i Tahina’oy ro hanehake naho hiaolo ahy.
Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
4 Akaro amy harato naeta’iareo amakoy, amy te Ihe ro fitsolohako.
You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
5 Am-pità’o ao ro anolorako troke, fa nijebañe ahy irehe ry Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-kavantañañe.
Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
6 Hejeko o mpañaoñe ty hakoafan-dRemborakeo; Iehovà ro iatoako.
Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
7 Hifale naho hirebeke amo fiferenaiña’oo iraho, fa nihaoñe’o o hasotriakoo; naho niarofoana’o ty haferenaiñako,
I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
8 tsy napo’o an-tañan-drafelahiko ao; fa navotra’o an-tane mangadagadañe eo o tombokoo.
You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
9 Tretrezo ry Iehovà, fa tokoen-draha; nabotsem-pihontoke o masokoo, eka, ty fiaiko naho ty sandriko.
[But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
10 Fa nirì-ty hontoke ty fiaiko, naho ty fiselekaiñañe o taokoo, milesa ty haozarako ty amo tahikoo, vaho minike o taolakoo.
I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
11 Toe finjèn-draho ty amo rafelahikoo, mentsake o mpiharo-tanàñ’ amakoo, fañembañañe o rañekoo, mibotitsik’ amako ze mahaoniñ’ahy an-dalañe ey.
All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
12 Haliño hoe lolo iraho, tsy amam-betsevetse; manahake ty karabiba.
People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
13 Tsinanoko ty bisibisi’ i màroy, harevendreveñañe mb’etia mb’atia, mikinia ahy, ikililia’e ty hañè-doza amako.
I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
14 Fe izaho, Ihe ro fiatoako ry Iehovà hoe iraho: Ihe ro Andrianañahareko.
But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
15 Am-pità’o o androkoo; avotsoro an-taña’ o rafelahikoo, naho amo mpanao samporerakeo.
My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
16 Ampaviaho amy mpitoro’oy ty lahara’o; hahao amo fiferenaiña’oo.
Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
17 Ko apo’o ho salaren-draho ry Iehovà, fa mikanjy Azo, fe meñaro o lo tserekeo, ampitsiño an-tsikeokeok’ ao. (Sheol h7585)
Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
18 Hampianjiñeñe o famelen-dremborake manotratsotrake o vantañeo ie mirengevoke naho mañinje.
I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
19 Akore ty harà’ elahin-kasoa’o nahaja’o ho amo mañeveñ’ama’oo, ie nitsene’o ho amo mpitsolok’ ama’o añatrefam-pihaino’ o ana’ondatio!
You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
20 Akafi’o am-pipalirañe añatrefa’o iereo, ami’ty fikililia’ ondatio; ampitsolohe’o an-kivoho ao tsy ho vorehe’ o famelekeo.
You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
21 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, fa nilosore’e amako ty fiferenaiña’e, an-drova niarikatoheñe.
Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
22 Aa naho izaho, hoe iraho te niendrake: ho naitoañe aolom-pihaino’o eo. fe jinanji’o ty fivolan-kalaliko, te nikaiheko.
I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
23 Kokò t’Iehovà ry noro’e iabio, arova’ Iehovà o migahiñeo, vaho avarigidi’e amo mpievoñevoñeo ty avake.
You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
24 Mihaozara naho mihafatrara arofo ry hene mpitamà Iehovà.
You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
