Salamo 40
1 Nitamàko am-pahaliñisañe t’Iehovà, le nitokilaña’e, vaho jinanji’e ty fitoreoko.
Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
2 Naaka’e an-koboñe namparikoriko, naho boak’ an-dietse nipaletroke, vaho nampitongoà’e ambone lamilamy eo o tombokoo; le nalaha’e o liakoo.
And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
3 Napo’e am-bavako ao ty sabo vao, fijejoañe aman’Añaharen-tikañe; maro ty hahaoniñe le hañeveñe, vaho hitsolok’ am’ Iehovà.
And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
4 Haha ty manao Iehovà ho fiatoa’e, naho tsy mitolike mb’amo mpirengevokeo, vaho tsy mitsile mb’an-dremborake.
Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
5 Maro, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, o fitoloña’o fanjàkao, naho ty fivetsevetse’o anay, tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe Azo! Naho nitaroñeko naho nilañoneko, mbe mandikoatse ze mete ho talilieñe.
Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
6 Tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo naho o enga-mahakamao; sinoka’o o sofikoo; tsy nipaia’o ty engan-kolorañe ndra ty engan-kakeo.
Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
7 Le hoe raho: Intoy iraho, homb’eo, fa nisokireñe am-boke-pelek’ ao;
Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
8 Noko, ry Andrianañahareko, ty mitoloñe amo satrin’arofo’oo; eka, an-troko ato o Tsara’oo.
That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
9 Fa nitaroneko am-pivori-bey ao ty talily soan-kavantañañe; tsy ho sebañeko o soñikoo, ry Iehovà, Ihe ro maharofoanañe.
I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
10 Tsy naetako an-troko ao ty havantaña’o; fa nitaroñeko ty figahiña’o naho ty fandrombaha’o; vaho tsy nakafiko amy fivori-beiy ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
11 Ry Iehovà ko hazoñeñ’ amako ty fitretreza’o; añaro ahy nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
12 Miarikoboñe ahy ty haratiañe tsifotofoto; miambotrak’ amako o hakeokoo, le tsy mahafiandra, ie maro te amo volon-dohakoo, vaho milesa ty troko.
For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
13 Ho no’o abey ry Iehovà ty hamotsotse ahy; malisà ry Iehovà hañolotse ahy,
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
14 Le aharò salareñe naho meñareñe o mipay ty fiaiko hasintake; ampiamboho vaho injeo o te hijoy ahio.
Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
15 Ehe ampidabao an-kenatse ze manao amako ty hoe: Hiy! Hiy!
Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
16 Hirebeke naho hifale ze mipay Azo, vaho hitolon-kanao ty hoe o mpitea i fandrombaha’oio: Onjoneñe t’Iehovà. 17 Aa kanao rarake naho misotry iraho, ee t’ie ho vetsevetse’ i Talè; Ihe ro mpañimba naho mpañaha ahy, ry Andrianañahareko; ko mihenekeneke.
Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
