Salamo 54

1 Rombaho iraho ry Andrianañahare ty amy tahina’oy, vaho meo-to amo haozara’oo.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

2 Ry Andrianañahare, janjiño ty halaliko, toloro ravembia o entam-bavakoo.

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

3 Miongake hiatreatre ahy ty ambahiny, paia’ o mitrotrofiakeo ty fiaiko, tsy nampiaoloe’ iareo t’i Andrianañahare. Selà

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

4 Inao! Mpañimb’ahy t’i Andrianañahare, Fiatoam-piaiko t’i Talè.

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

5 Hafote’e amo mivoñoñe ahiko ty haratia’ iareo; Rotsaho iereo ami’ty figahiña’o.

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

6 Mañenga ama’o an-tsatrin-tro iraho, andriañeko i tahina’oy ry Iehovà, amy te ie ty soa;

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

7 Fa nafaha’e amako ze hene haemberañe, vaho nisambae’ o masokoo o rafelahikoo.

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
