Salamo 41

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

BLESSED is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

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 will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto 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 will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

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

I said, Lord, be merciful 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 he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth 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 disease, say they, 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, which 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 merciful 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 favourest me, because 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 in 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 God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
