< Salamo 60 >
1 Ry Andrianañahare nifarie’o, dinemo’o, nifomboa’o; ehe sotraho zahay.
For the leader. On shushan eduth. A michtam of David (for teaching), when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and defeated twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have spurned and broken us, routing us in your wrath – restore us!
2 Nampiezeñezeñe’o ty tane; nabenta’o; melaño o jeba’eo, fa miozoñozoñe.
You have shaken the land and cleft it; heal its tottering breaches.
3 Nampahaoniña’o fisotriañe ondati’oo; nampitohofa’o divay mampivembèñe.
You have made your people drink hardship, and given us wine of reeling.
4 Nanolora’o viloñe o mañeveñe ama’oo; honjoneñe ty ami’ty hatò. Selà
You have given those who fear you a banner, a rallying-place from the bow, (Selah)
5 Soa te ho hahàñe o kokoa’oo; rombaho am-pità’o havana; toiño iraho.
for the rescue of your beloved. Save by your right hand and answer us.
6 Nitsara ami’ty hamasiña’e t’i Andrianañahare: Hitreñe iraho, ho zaraeko ty Sekeme, vaho ho zeheko ty vavatane’ i Sokote;
God did solemnly swear: ‘As victor will I divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 ahiko t’i Gilàde, naho ahiko t’i Menasè; fiaron-dohako t’i Efraime, kobaiko t’Iehodà;
Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is the defence of my head, Judah my sceptre of rule,
8 Koveta fisasako t’i Mòabe; fampipohan-kanako t’i Edome miroharohà ty amako, ry Pilisty.
Moab the pot that I wash in, Edom – I cast my shoe over it, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’
9 Ia ty hampihova ahy amy rova fatratsey? Ia ty hiaolo ahy mb’ Edome mb’eo?
O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!
10 Tsy Ihe hao ry Andrianañahare ty nahafary anay? Tsy hitraofa’o fionjonañe hao, ry Andrianañahare o lahindefo’aio!
Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.
11 Oloro amy rafelahiy zahay, fa tsy vente’e ty fandrombaha’ ondatio.
Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.
12 I Andrianañahare ro fahareketa’ay, Ie ty handialia o rafelahi’aio.
With God we shall yet do bravely: he himself will tread down our foes.
