Salamo 7
1 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, Ihe ro fitsolohako, avotsoro amo mañoridañe ahikoo, le hahao;
A psalm (shiggaion) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, from the tribe of Benjamin. Lord my God, you are my protection. Save me from those who persecute me; please rescue me!
2 Tsy mone ho ritaritae’e hoe liona ty fiaiko, hirofodrofota’e tsy amam-pañolotse.
Otherwise they will tear me apart like a lion, ripping me to pieces with no one to save me.
3 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, naho nanoeko zao: lehe an-tañako ty hatsivokarañe,
If I have done what I'm accused of, if my hands are guilty,
4 naho vinaleko haratiañe ty rañeko; (hera) nivoloseko tsy amam-poto’e ty nañembets’ ahy;
If I have paid back a friend with evil, if I have robbed my enemy for no reason,
5 Le ho hotrohe’ ty rafelahiko, hiambotraha’e; ho lialià’e an-tane ty haveloko, vaho hado’e an-debok’ ao ty engeko. Selà
Then let my enemies chase me down; let them trample me in the dust and drag my reputation through the dirt. (Selah)
6 Miongaha, ry Iehovà, an-kaviñera’o, miavota ty amo fitrotrofiaha’ o rafelahikoo. mivañona ty amako amy zaka kinoi’oy.
Stand up, Lord, in your anger, rise up against the fury of my enemies; wake up, Lord, and bring me justice!
7 Hiarikatok’ ama’o ty fivori’ ondatio, vaho mibaliha hifehea’o boak’añ’abo ey.
Bring together the nations before you; rule them from your throne on high.
8 Ry Iehovà Mpizaka o kilakila ‘ndatio; zakao iraho ry Iehovà, ty amy havantañako naho ty havañonako an-trok’ ao.
The Lord judges all people. Defend me, Lord, because I do what is right, because of my integrity.
9 Hijihetse ty haratia’ o lo-tserekeo naho hajado’o o vañoñeo, fa mpitsòke arofo naho ova t’i Andrianañahare vantañe.
Please bring an end to the evil done by the wicked; vindicate those who do good, for you are the God of right who examines hearts and minds.
10 Aman’Añahare ao ty fikalako Ie mpandrombake o vañon-trokeo.
The Most High God is my defense, the one who saves those who live right.
11 Mpizaka to t’i Andrianañahare, Eka, torifike boak’ andro t’i Andrianañahare;
God is a fair judge who is always hostile to evil.
12 Aa naho tsy mimpoly t’indaty: le ho sioña’e i fibara’ey; fa navoho’e ty fale’e vaho nihajarie’e;
If people do not change their minds, he will sharpen his sword. He has bent and strung his bow.
13 Fa nihentseñe’e fialiañe mahafate, ampibelabelae’ afo o ana-pàle’eo.
He has prepared weapons of death, he has his flaming arrows ready.
14 Hehe t’ie tsongoen-tsihavokarañe, ie nampiareñe kilily vaho hiterake i remborake;
See how the wicked conceive evil! They are pregnant with trouble. They give birth to dishonesty.
15 Nihaly kobon-dre naho nampigorabahe’e, vaho tafajorobo amy hinali’ey.
They dig a deep hole to catch people, but then fall into it themselves.
16 Toe hibalik’ an-doha’e avao ty fikitroha’e raty, vaho hivotrak’ an-kevo’e eo i nandovia’ey.
The trouble they cause rebounds to hit them on the head; their violence against others comes down on their own skulls.
17 Andriañeko t’Iehovà ty amy havantaña’ey, ho bangoeko an-tsabo ty tahina’ Iehovà Andindimoneñe.
I will thank the Lord because he does what is right; I will sing praises to the name of the Lord Most High.
