Salamo 4
1 Ry Andrianañaharen-kavañonako toiño iraho te mikanjy Azo fa Ihe ty nañivake ho ahy te nalovilovy; isoho vaho janjiño o halalikoo.
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble, —Have pity 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
How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? (Pause)
3 Fe fohino te navaha’ Iehovà ho ama’e i vañoñey; ho janjiñe’ Iehovà te kanjieko.
Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
4 Minevenevera, le ko mandilatse; mañereñerea añ’arofo an-tihi’o eo, vaho mianjiña. Selà
Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! (Pause)
5 Mañengà soron-kavantañañe, vaho miatoa am’Iehovà.
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
6 Maro ty mivola: Ia ty hampiboake hasoa amantika? Ry Iehovà, onjono ama’ay ty hazavan-dahara’o.
There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, 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 puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
8 Hàndre an-kanintsin-draho le hiroro amy te Ihe avao ry Iehovà ro mampimoneñe ahy am-pitsolohañe.
I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
