Salamo 4
1 Ry Andrianañaharen-kavañonako toiño iraho te mikanjy Azo fa Ihe ty nañivake ho ahy te nalovilovy; isoho vaho janjiño o halalikoo.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ry ana’ondatio, Sikala ‘mbia ro hafote’ areo ho inje ty asiko? ty hikoko ty tsy vente’e, hitsoeke ty famañahiañe? Selà
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Fe fohino te navaha’ Iehovà ho ama’e i vañoñey; ho janjiñe’ Iehovà te kanjieko.
But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
4 Minevenevera, le ko mandilatse; mañereñerea añ’arofo an-tihi’o eo, vaho mianjiña. Selà
Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Mañengà soron-kavantañañe, vaho miatoa am’Iehovà.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
6 Maro ty mivola: Ia ty hampiboake hasoa amantika? Ry Iehovà, onjono ama’ay ty hazavan-dahara’o.
Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Ihe nampipoke haehake an-troko ao, mandikoatse te an-tsàm-pamokara’ iareo ampemba naho divay.
Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 Hàndre an-kanintsin-draho le hiroro amy te Ihe avao ry Iehovà ro mampimoneñe ahy am-pitsolohañe.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
