Salamo 56

1 Tretrezo iraho ry Andrianañahare; fa lialia’ ondatio; forekeke’e amañ’aly handro am-pohatse.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

2 Te handialia ahy lomoñandro o mivoñoñ’ ahikoo; amy te maro ty mifandrava amako, ry Andindimoneñey.

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 Amy andro mampangebahebak’ ahy, Ihe ty hiatoako,

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

4 Aman’Andrianañahare —handrengeako o tsara’eo— fa iatoako t’i Andrianañahare, tsy ho hemban-draho; inoñe ty hanoe’ o nofotseo amako.

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

5 Embere’ iereo lomoñandro o fitoloñakoo; fikitrohan-draty avao ty ereñeren-tro’iareo.

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

6 Mifañosoñe iereo, mietake, mitinoñe ty liako; mandiñe hitsepake ty fiaiko.

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

7 Ty hatsivokara’ iareo—tsy hipoliotse. Aretsaho an-kaviñerañe ondatio, ry Andrianañahare.

You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.

8 Fa vinolili’o o firererereakoo; apoho an-jonjò’o ao o ranomasokoo; tsy amy boke’oy hao irezay?

O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.

9 Hitolike amy zao o rafelahikoo, amy andro kanjiekoy, Zao ty rendreko, te mpañimb’ ahy t’i Andrianañahare,

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.

10 I Andrianañahare ro andrengeako o tsara’eo, Iehovà ro añonjonako o saontsi’eo.

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

11 I Andrianañahare ro fiatoako, tsy ho hemban-draho, inoñe ty hanoe’ ondaty amako.

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

12 Havahako o nifantàkoo, ry Andrianañahare; hañenga fañandriañañe ama’o.

The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

13 Amy te vinotso’o ty fiaiko tsy hikenkañe; Eka! o tomboko tsy hitsikapy, ie hijelanjelañe añatrefan’Añahare eo an-kazavan-kaveloñe.

For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
