Salamo 44
1 Ry Andrianañahare, fa jinanjin-dravembia’ay, fa natalilin-droae’ay o fitoloñañe nanoe’o tañ’ andro’ iereoo, amo andro faha’ matoetoeo.
TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work You worked in their days, In the days of old.
2 Ie am-pità’o ty nandroake o fifeheañeo le najado’o eo; dinemo’o ondatio, vaho naparatsia’o.
You, [with] Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.
3 Tsy ty fibara’ iareo ty nahazoañe i taney; le tsy o fità’ iareoo ty naharombake, fa ty fità’o havana naho ty sira’o, vaho ty hazavan-dahara’o amy t’ie nisohe’o.
For they did not possess the land by their sword, And their arm did not give salvation to them, But Your right hand, and Your arm, And the light of Your countenance, Because You had accepted them.
4 Mpanjakako irehe, ry Andrianañahare; lilio fandrombahañe t’Iakobe.
You [are] He, my King, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
5 Ihe ro igorea’ay o rafelahi’aio; ty tahina’o ty andialià’ay o mitroatse hiatreatre anaio.
By You we push our adversaries, By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,
6 Tsy iatoako ty faleko, tsy maharombak’ ahy ty fibarako.
For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.
7 Fa Ihe ro nandrombak’ anay amo rafelahi’aio, naho nanalatse o malaiñe anaio.
For You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those hating us.
8 I Andrianañahare ro firengea’ay lomoñandro, vaho andriañe’ay nainai’e ty tahina’o. Selà
In God we have boasted all the day, And we thank Your Name for all time. (Selah)
9 F’ie nifarie’o henaneo, naho ninje’o; tsy indreze’o fionjonañe o lahindefo’aio.
In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, And do not go forth with our hosts.
10 Ampiambohoe’o amo rafelahi’aio, vaho mamaok’ an-tsatri’e avao o malaiñe anaio,
You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
11 Fa natolo’o ho añondry kamaeñe, vaho nampivarakaihe’o amo fifeheañeo.
You make us food like sheep, And You have scattered us among nations.
12 Naleta’o ami’ty minjilite’e ondati’oo, tsy nahazoan-tombo’e t’ie naletake.
You sell Your people—without wealth, And have not become great by their price.
13 Nampañinje’o o mpifankarineo, fanivetiveañe naho fandrabioñañe amo mañohok’ anaio.
You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
14 Anoe’o oha-drehake o fifeheañeo, fikoliñan-doha am’ondatio.
You make us an allegory among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
15 Fañinjeañe lomoñandro ty aoloko eo, vaho nampikolopok’ ahy ty hameñaran-tareheko,
All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face has covered me.
16 ami’ty fivola’ o mikobìke naho mamàtseo; ty amy fiatrefan-drafelahiy vaho i mpamale-fatey.
Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
17 Toe hene nifetsak’ ama’ay, f’ie tsy nañaliño Azo, vaho tsy nivalik’ amy fañina’oy.
All this met us, and we did not forget You, Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.
18 Toe tsy niamboho Azo o arofo’aio, vaho tsy niveve amy lala’oy o fandia’aio,
We do not turn our heart backward, Nor turn aside our step from Your path.
19 f’ie dinemo’o an-toem-panalok’ eo, vaho kinolopo’o an-talinjon-kavilasy.
But You have struck us in a place of dragons, And cover us over with death-shade.
20 Aa naho nandikofa’ay ty tahinan’Añahare’ay, ke namela-pitàñe aman-drahare ankafankafa;
If we have forgotten the Name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
21 Tsy ho nitsikarahen’ Añahare hao? Kanao arofoana’e ze mikafitse an-trok’ao.
Does God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Eka, Ihe ro anjamanañe anay handro am-pohatse; volilieñe hoe añondry ho lentañe.
Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
23 Mivañona, ry Talè, Ino ty irota’o? Mitsekafa, ko farie’o kitro katroke zahay.
Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.
24 Akore ty ampietaha’o laharañe, naho añaliñoa’o ty hasotria’ay vaho ty halovilovia’ay?
Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,
25 Fa mibokok’ an-debok’ ao ty fiai’ay; mipitek’ an-tane eo ty fisafoa’ay.
For our soul has bowed to the dust, Our belly has cleaved to the earth.
26 Miongaha hañolotse anay, vaho jebaño ty amy fiferenaiña’oy.
Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
