Salamo 63
1 Ry Andrianañahare, Ihe ro Andrianañahareko; hitsoek’ azo iraho; miheahea azo ty fiaiko, misalala azo ty sandriko hoe an-tane kànkañe vozake tsy aman-drano,
A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, —My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land—dry, and weary for want of water, —
2 Ho treako amy miavakey ao irehe, hahaisake ty haozara’o naho ty enge’o.
In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.
3 Toe soa te amo haveloñeo ty fiferenaiña’o, hisabo Azo o soñikoo.
Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!
4 Hañandriañe Azo t’ie mbe veloñe; i tahina’oy ty hañonjonako tañañe.
Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:
5 Anjañe ty fiaiko hoe aman-tso-kena naho solike, vaho mandrenge Azo an-tsoñy mifale ty vavako,
As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
6 ie mahatiahy Azo am-pandreañe ao, naho mitsakore Azo am-pijilovan-kaleñe.
Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.
7 Ihe ro mpañolotse ahiko, naho an-kalon’ela’o ao ty hirebehako.
For thou hast become a help unto me, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.
8 Mipitek’ ama’o ty fiaiko; manohañe ahy ty fità’o havana.
My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.
9 Fe hajoroboñe an-tsikeokeok’ao ze mipay handrotsake ty fiaiko;
When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
10 Havariñe an-kaozara’ i fibaray iereo ho tsindrohe’ ty farasy.
Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.
11 Andriañahare ty irebeha’ i Mpanjakay, mirañorañoa ze hene mifanta ama’e; fe hampidiñeñe ty faliem-pandañitse.
But, the king, shall rejoice in God, —Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.
