Salamo 64

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!

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

Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!

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

For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,

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

To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.

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

They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”

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

They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.

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

But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.

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

Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.

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

The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
