Salamo 40
1 Nitamàko am-pahaliñisañe t’Iehovà, le nitokilaña’e, vaho jinanji’e ty fitoreoko.
I WAITED patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 Naaka’e an-koboñe namparikoriko, naho boak’ an-dietse nipaletroke, vaho nampitongoà’e ambone lamilamy eo o tombokoo; le nalaha’e o liakoo.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 Napo’e am-bavako ao ty sabo vao, fijejoañe aman’Añaharen-tikañe; maro ty hahaoniñe le hañeveñe, vaho hitsolok’ am’ Iehovà.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust 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 that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
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.
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
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 offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Le hoe raho: Intoy iraho, homb’eo, fa nisokireñe am-boke-pelek’ ao;
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume 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.
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within 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 preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
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 righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Ry Iehovà ko hazoñeñ’ amako ty fitretreza’o; añaro ahy nainai’e ty fiferenaiña’o naho ty hatò’o.
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve 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 innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13 Ho no’o abey ry Iehovà ty hamotsotse ahy; malisà ry Iehovà hañolotse ahy,
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 Le aharò salareñe naho meñareñe o mipay ty fiaiko hasintake; ampiamboho vaho injeo o te hijoy ahio.
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Ehe ampidabao an-kenatse ze manao amako ty hoe: Hiy! Hiy!
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
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 those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
