Salamo 41

1 Haha ty mañaoñe o rarakeo; ie ho votsore’ Iehovà an-tsan-kankàñe.

Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

2 Harova’Iehovà le ho tana’e veloñe naho hatao’e haha amy taney eo, naho tsy apo’e an-tsatrin-tron-drafelahy

The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

3 Ho tohaña’ Iehovà amy tihy tindria’ey; hafote’o ho jangan-dre am-pandream-pisilofa’e eo.

The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

4 Aa naho izaho, hoe ty asako: ry Iehovà, Atariho, jangaño ty fiaiko, fa nandilarako.

I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

5 Manambaitambaiñ’ ahy o rafelahikoo: ombia t’ie hikoromake, hihomaha’ i añara’ey?

My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

6 Ie mitilik’ ahy, manao rehan-dremborake; mangoroñe hakeo ama’e ty tro’e; ie miavotse, volañe’e.

And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.

7 Ivesovesoa’ o malaiñe ahy iabio, mikilily joy, ami’ty hoe:

All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

8 Mipitek’ ama’e ty bilokan-kokolampa; kanao mitsilañe re, tsy hitroatse ka.

They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

9 Eka, ndra i rañeko nianteherakoy, i nikama i hanekoiy, fa nañonjo tomitse amako.

For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.

10 F’Ihe ry Iehovà, iferenaiño, vaho atroaro hamaleako iareo.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them.

11 Zao ty aharendrehako te no’o, t’ie tsy irohafa’ o rafelahikoo.

By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.

12 Naho izaho, tozañe’o ami’ty havañonako, naho ampañatrefe’o laharañe amako nainai’e.

But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

13 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’Israele, haehae vaho nainai’e donia. Amena naho Amena.

Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
