Salamo 57
1 Tretrezo iraho ry Andrianañahare, iferenaiño, fa Ihe ro fitsoloham-piaiko; eka! an-talinjon’ ela’o ao ty fipalirako, ampara’ te ihelaña’ ty hankàñe.
“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.” Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
2 Kanjieko t’i Andrianañahare Abo-tia; Aman’ Añahare fahatafeterako.
I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things for me;
3 Hahitri’e hirik’an-dikerañe ao ty fandrombahañe ahy, endaha’e i mandialia ahikoy. Selà Ho sangitrihen’ Añahare ty fiferenaiña’e naho ty hatò’e.
He will send from heaven, and save me; He will put to shame him that panteth for my life; (Pause) God will send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 An-teñateñan-diona ao ty fiaiko; itraofako handre o mpikofòke afoo; toe o ana’ ondatio, lefoñe naho ana-pale o famotsi’eo, fibara masioñe ty famele’iareo.
My life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
5 Onjoneñe ambone’ i likerañey irehe, ry Andrianañahare, ambone’ ty tane toy iaby ty enge’o.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
6 Nikotepe’ iareo harato o liakoo; mibokobokoke ty fiaiko; nihalia’ iereo koboñe ty aoloko eo, f’ie nigodoñe am-po’e ao. Selà
They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
7 Mijadoñe ty troko ry Andrianañahare, eka, gañe ty troko; hisabo iraho, eka hisabo fandrengeañe.
My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
8 Mivañona, ry engeko! Mitroara ry kararàke naho marovany, hampitsekafako ty fanjirik’andro!
Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
9 Hañandriañe Azo iraho ry Talè añivo’ ondatio eo, ho rengeko an-tsabo amo kilakila‘ndatio ao.
I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
10 Amy te ra’elahy pak’ an-dindiñe añe ty fiferenaiña’o; le pak’an-drahoñe eñe ty hatò’o.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
11 Onjoneñe ambonen-dikerañ’eñe irehe ry Andrianañahare, ty enge’o ambone’ ty tane bey toy.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
