Salamo 41

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

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 keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.

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

The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.

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

As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'

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

Mine enemies speak evil of 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 one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.

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

All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:

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

'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'

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

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

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

But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

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

By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

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

And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.

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

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
