Salamo 55
1 Janjiño o filolohakoo ry Andrianañahare; ko mietak’ amo halalikoo.
To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
2 Haoño iraho, le toiño; ie tsitoboboly am-pitoreoko, toe miñeoñeoñe avao
Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
3 ty amy feon-drafelahikoy, ami’ty fanindria’ o lo-tserekeo, ie mametsa-kasosorañe; vaho am-piloroloroañe ty atreatré’ iareo ahy.
I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
4 Miola ty an-troko ao, vaho midoiñ’ amako ty fangebahebàn-kavilasy.
My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
5 Midoñ’amako ty firevendreveñañe naho ty fihondrahondràñe, vaho opoe’ ty anifañe.
Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
6 Hoe raho: Ee te nanañ’ elatse hoe deho! le ho nitiliñe añe vaho nitofa;
And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
7 Eka, ho niherereake mb’eo, ho nañialo am-patrambey añe. Selà
I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
8 Ho nifiotse mb’am-pipalirako mb’eo, ty ami’ty tio-bey naho ty afo-rano.
I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
9 Votemboteo ry Talè, tseraho ty famele’ iareo, fa nahatrea piaroteñe naho fiolañe an-drova ao iraho.
Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
10 Handro an-kaleñe iereo ro mitingatinga ambone kijoly ey, añivo’e ao ty hatsivokarañe naho fikitrohan-draty.
By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
11 Firotsahañe ty añivo’e ao, tsy mienga o kiririsa’eo ty joy naho ty fìtake.
Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
12 Tsy t’ie rafelahy te mañìnje ahy, fa ho nileoko, tsy t’ie mpalaiñ’ ahy te itoabora’e, fa ho nietahako.
For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
13 Te mone ihe, rahambako, mpiamako naho rañeko,
But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
14 nimamy ty fifañohahòhan-tika, mbore nitrao-pivovotse amy màroy mb’añ’anjomban’ Añahare mb’eo.
We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
15 Ee t’ie ho fañahieñe mb’am-pihomaham-beo, agodoño veloñe an-tsikeokeok’ ao; amy te an-kaloloañe ao ty kiboho’e; añivo’e ao. (Sheol h7585)
Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
16 Aa naho izaho, ho kanjieko t’Andrianañahare; vaho handrombak’ ahy t’Iehovà.
As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
17 Hariva naho handro vaho an-tsipinde ty hitoreovako naho hiñeoñeoñe; vaho ho janji’e ty feoko.
In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
18 Hijebaña’e an-kanintsiñe amy fifandraparapahañe amakoy.
He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
19 Hijanjiñe t’i Andrianañahare vaho ho toiñe’e iareo; I miambesatse am-piambesa’e haehaey, Selà toe tsy miova iareo, tsy mañeveñe aman’ Añahare.
God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
20 F’ie mañonjo-haoke hañatreatre amo nifampilongo ama’eo, ie nifotetse amy fañina’ey,
He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
21 Nalama te amo solikeo o entam-palie’eo fe aly avao ty añ’ arofo’e ao; nalea ta o menakeo o saontsi’eo, te mone fibara napontsoañe.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
22 Apoho am’ Iehovà o kilanka’oo, le ho tohaña’e; tsy hado’e higavingaviñe o vantañeo.
Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
23 F’ihe ry Andrianañahare: ro hampijoroboñ’ iareo an-kobon-dalek’ao; tsy hiveloma’ ondaty mampiori-dio naho mamañahio, ty an-tsasa’ o andro’eo, fa naho izaho, Ihe ro hiatoako.
But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
