Salamo 43

1 Meo to, ry Andrianañahare, mañalañalaña ho ahy amy fifeheañe tsy aman-Kàkey; hahao am’ondaty mamañahy naho mengokeo.

God, please vindicate me! Plead my case against an unfaithful nation; save me from these wicked and dishonest people.

2 Ihe ro Andrianañaharen-kaozarako; Ino ty nifaria’o ahiko? Ino ty ibokobokoako am-pigoboñañe ao ie forekeken-drafelahy?

For you, God, are my protection—so why have you turned your back on me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?

3 Ahitrifo ty hazavà’o naho ty hatò’o, hiaolo, hanese ahy mb’amy vohi’o miavakey mb’eo, vaho mb’an-kivoho’o mb’eo.

Send your light and your truth so they can guide me; let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.

4 Le homb’an-­kitrelin’ Añahare mb’eo, mb’aman’Añahare mampinembanembañ’ ahy, vaho ho saboeko ami’ty marovany, t’i Abo-Tia, Andrianañahareko.

I will go to God's altar, to God who makes me truly happy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Ino ty ­mahalonjetse azo ty fiaiko tia? inoñe ty angoihoia’o amako ao? Mitamà an’Andriaenañahare; fa mbe handriañeko, i fandrombaham-piatrefako naho Andrianañaharekoy.

Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—my God!
