Salamo 64

1 Janjiño ty feoko, ry Andrianañahare, ami’ty fitreontreoñako; ambeno ty fiaiko ami’ty fihembaña’e o rafelahio.

Unto the end, a psalm for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.

2 Aetaho iraho ami’ty fikililia’ o tsivokatseo; amo fikitrohan-drati’ o lo-tserekeo.

Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

3 O maniom-pameleke hoe fibara vaho mañohatse entam-bola-mafaitse hoe t’ie ana-pale,

For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,

4 hañohara’ iareo añ’etake ty vañoñe; tifire’iereo amy zao tsy aman-tahotse.

To shoot in secret the undefiled.

5 Mifañosike t’ie mikitroke, mikinia hampibitrotse fandri-bo añ’etake, ami’ty hoe: Ia ty hahaisake?

They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?

6 Tsikarahe’ iereo ze tsihavokarañe, Fa nañeneke safiry soa lahatse. Toe miheotse ty añ’ova’ ondaty ao, naho ty arofo’e.

They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:

7 F’ie hañiririan’ Añahare ana-pale aniany avao le ho fere

And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:

8 hampitsikapy iareo; sesehe’ o famele’iareo avao, songa mibioñe añe ty mahaisake iareo.

And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;

9 Le hene hirevendreveñe ondatio, hitalily o fitoloñan’ Añahareo vaho hañarahara o tolon-draha’eo.

And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.

10 Hifale am’ Iehovà o vantañeo, hipalitse ama’e; vaho hene handrenge aze o mahity añ’arofoo.

The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
