Salamo 56

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

TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

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

My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

3 Amy andro mampangebahebak’ ahy, Ihe ty hiatoako,

[In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward 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 praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

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

All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

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

They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

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

They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

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

You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

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

Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

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

In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

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

In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

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

On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

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, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!
