Salamo 69
1 Rombaho iraho ry Andrianañahare fa nizilike añ’ovako ao ty rano.
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 Milempotse an-ditsake lalek’ ao iraho, tsy ao ty ho liàñe; fa nijolofoñe an-drano lalek’ ao naho mandipotse ahy o alon-driakeo.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 Mahamokotse ahy ty fitañiako, maike ty am-peoko ao; milesa o masokoo amy fisalalako an’Andrianañaharekoy.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
4 Mandikoatse o volon-dohakoo ty malaiñe ahy tsy am-bente’e; maro ty te handrotsak’ ahiko, ie rafelahiko tsy an-dengo’e; havahako hao ty tsy nikamereko?
Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
5 O Andrianañahare, arofoana’o ty hadagolako, vaho tsy mietak’ ama’o o tahikoo.
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
6 Tsy izaho abey ty hisalara’ o misalala Azoo, ry Iehovà, Talè’ i Màroy; ee te tsy izaho ty himeñara’ o mipay Azoo, ry Andrianañahare’ Israeleo.
O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
7 Amy te Ihe ro nahatantezako rabioñe; manaroñe ty tareheko ty hasalarañe.
People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
8 Fa ambahiny aman-drolongoko iraho naho alik’ amo anan-drenekoo.
Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
9 Amy te namotsek’ ahiko ty fahimbañako amy anjomba’oy; le nidoñe amako ty inje’ o mañinje Azoo.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
10 Izaho nitañy añ’ovako ao naho nililitse, ninjare tiñe amako.
When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
11 Ie nanoeko lamba-gony ty sikiko, le nirabioñeñe.
When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
12 Mivolambolañe ahy o miambesatse an-dalambeio; vaho ibekoa’ o jikeo.
Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
13 Fa naho izaho, Ihe ty ihalaliako, ry Iehovà, ami’ty andro mete, ry Andrianañahare ami’ty habeim-piferenaiña’o, toiño raho ami’ty hatòm-pandrombaha’o.
But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
14 Ihahao amo litsakeo, le ko apo’o hijoroboñe, avotsoro amo malaiñe ahio, vaho amo rano lalekeo.
Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15 Ee t’ie tsy hopoe’ o fisorotombahañeo, ndra hagodra’ i tsikeokeokey; ndra hitsiteha’ ty vava’ i koboñey.
Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
16 Toiño iraho ry Iehovà, ami’ty hasoan-kafatraram-pikokoa’o; mitoliha amako ami’ty harà’elahim-piferenaiña’o.
O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
17 Ko aetak’ ami’ty mpitoro’o ty lahara’o, fa ampoheke, masikà te manoiñe.
Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
18 Harineo ty fiaiko, vaho jebaño; vilio amo rafelahikoo.
Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
19 Arofoana’o ty tìñeko, ty hameñarako, naho ty hasalarako; añatrefa’o eo ze hene rafelahiko.
You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
20 Fa nahakoretse ty troko o rabioñeo, lifon-kasiloke iraho; nipay tretre, fa tsy nitendreke; naho mpañohò, fa tsy nahatrea.
[Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
21 Hete! finaha’ iareo voreke raho vaho finantso’ iareo vinegra amy haran-dranoakoy.
[Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
22 Ho fàndrike ty fandambañañe añ’atrefa’ iareo; ie mierañerañe te mikoropoke.
I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
23 Haieñe o fihaino’ iareoo, tsy hahaisake, vaho ampiozoñozoño nainai’e o toha’eo.
I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
24 Adobaño am’ iereo ty haviñera’o, le ampitsepaho ami’ty fifombo’o miforoforo.
Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
25 Hangoakoake ty tobe’ iareo; tsy himoneña’ ondaty o kiboho’eo.
Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
26 Amy te sarerahe’e i linafa’oy, vaho nindrae’ iereo ty fanaintaiña’ o vinonotrobo’oo.
[Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
27 Tompeo tahiñe ty hakeo’ iareo, le ko apo’o hifoak’ an-kavantaña’o ao.
Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
28 Faoho amy boken-kaveloñey iereo, tsy hitrao-pisokitse amo vañoñeo.
Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
29 Misotry naho marare iraho; ampañonjono ahy añ’abo ey ty fandrombaha’o, ry Andrianañahare.
As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
30 Ho bangoeko an-tsabo ty tahinan’ Andrianañahare, naho honjoneko am-pañandriañañe.
When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
31 Ie ho no’ Iehovà mandikoatse ty vosy valo-ay reke-tsifa naho hotro.
My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
32 Ho oni’ o mpirèkeo le ho ehake; ry mpipay an’ Andrianañahare, misotrafa añ’arofo.
Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
33 Fa mahajanjiñe o rarakeo t’Iehovà, vaho tsy sirikae’e o an-drohio.
Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
34 Misaboa Aze ry likerañeo naho ty tane toy, ry riakeo naho ze hene misorok’ ao.
I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
35 Fa ho rombahen’Añahare ty Tsiône, naho hamboare’e o rova’ Iehodào vaho himoneñe ao iereo ho hanañañe.
God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
36 Ho lovae’ ty tiri’ o mpitoro’eo, himoneña’ o mikoko i tahina’eio.
The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
