Salamo 59
1 Hahao an-drafelahiko raho ry Andrianañahare: ampitroaro an-kaboañe ty amo miatreatre ahikoo.
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
2 Avotsoro amo mitolon-katsivokarañeo, vaho rombaho am’ondaty mampiori-dioo.
Deliver me from the doers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood!
3 Hehe t’ie mamandroñe ty fiaiko, robohe’ o mpitrotrofiak’ amako, tsy ty amo fiolàkoo ndra o tahikoo, ry Iehovà.
For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
4 Tsy o fandilarakoo ty falisa’ iareo hiatreatre ahy; mivañona hañolora’o vaho mivazohoa.
Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
5 Ihe arè ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i màroy, Andrianañahare Israele, mivañona, handilova’o o fifeheañeo; ko tretrezeñe o mpiola lo-tserekeo. Selà
Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! (Pause)
6 Mibalike haleñe iereo, mañaolo hoe amboa vaho mikariokariok’ amy rovay.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
7 Hehe t’ie mamore am-bava, fibara ty an-tsoñi’e, manao ty hoe: Ia ty mahajanjiñe.
Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; “For who,” say they, “will hear?”
8 F’ihe, ry Iehovà, ro hiankahak’ am’iareo, hene sirikae’o o fifeheañeo.
Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
9 O ry Haozarako, fitamakoo; kijoli-aboko t’i Andrianañahare.
O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
10 Hiaolo ahy t’i Andrianañaharem-piferenaiñ’ ahiko, hampisamban’ Añahare o rafelahikoo.
My God will come to meet me with his mercy; God will cause me to look with joy upon my enemies.
11 Ko vonoe’o hey iereo, tsy mone haliño ondatikoo; ampirererereo ami’ty haozara’o, vaho afotsaho, ry Talè, fikala’ay.
Slay them not, lest my people forget; Scatter them by thy power, and cast them down, O Lord, our shield!
12 ty amo hakeom-palie’ iareoo, o saontsim-pivimbi’eo, ee t’ie ho tsepaheñe am-pirengevoha’e, naho amo fatse vaho fandañitse aaka’ iareoo.
The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which they utter!
13 Mongoro an-kaviñerañe, zamano ho modo, hampandrendrehañe te mifehe am’ Iakobe ao t’i Andrianañahare, sikala añ’olo’ ty tane toy añe, Selà
Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! (Pause)
14 Mimpoly haleñe iereo, mañaolo hoe amboa, vaho mbeo-mbeo an-drova atoy,
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
15 Mihelahela avao, mipay haneñe, vaho mitromoroñe naho tsy vontsy.
Let them wander about for food, When they have passed the night unsatisfied!
16 Aa naho izaho, ho saboeko ty haozara’o; Eka, hipoñafako te maraiñe ty amy fiferenaiña’oy; amy te Ihe ro tambohoko, fitsolohako añ’andron-kaloviloviako.
But I will sing of thy power; Yea, in the morning will I sing aloud of thy mercy; For thou hast been my defence, My refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Ry Haozarako, hisaboako am-pandrengeañe: amy te mpikalañ’ ahy t’i Andrianañahare, i Andrianañaharem-piferenaiñ’ ahiy.
To thee, O my Strength! will I sing! For God is my defence; a God of mercy to me.
