Salamo 7
1 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, Ihe ro fitsolohako, avotsoro amo mañoridañe ahikoo, le hahao;
“A psalm of David, which he sang to Jehovah, on account of the reproaches of Cush the Benjamite.” O Jehovah, my God! to thee do I look for help; Save me from them that persecute me, and deliver me!
2 Tsy mone ho ritaritae’e hoe liona ty fiaiko, hirofodrofota’e tsy amam-pañolotse.
Lest mine enemy tear me like a lion; Lest he rend me in pieces, while there is none to help.
3 Ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, naho nanoeko zao: lehe an-tañako ty hatsivokarañe,
O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this, —If there be iniquity upon my hands,
4 naho vinaleko haratiañe ty rañeko; (hera) nivoloseko tsy amam-poto’e ty nañembets’ ahy;
If I have rendered evil to my friend, Or have despoiled him that without cause is mine enemy, —
5 Le ho hotrohe’ ty rafelahiko, hiambotraha’e; ho lialià’e an-tane ty haveloko, vaho hado’e an-debok’ ao ty engeko. Selà
Let my adversary pursue and take me; Let him trample me to the ground, And lay me prostrate in the dust! (Pause)
6 Miongaha, ry Iehovà, an-kaviñera’o, miavota ty amo fitrotrofiaha’ o rafelahikoo. mivañona ty amako amy zaka kinoi’oy.
Arise, O LORD! in thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment!
7 Hiarikatok’ ama’o ty fivori’ ondatio, vaho mibaliha hifehea’o boak’añ’abo ey.
Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height!
8 Ry Iehovà Mpizaka o kilakila ‘ndatio; zakao iraho ry Iehovà, ty amy havantañako naho ty havañonako an-trok’ ao.
The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity!
9 Hijihetse ty haratia’ o lo-tserekeo naho hajado’o o vañoñeo, fa mpitsòke arofo naho ova t’i Andrianañahare vantañe.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins.
10 Aman’Añahare ao ty fikalako Ie mpandrombake o vañon-trokeo.
My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mpizaka to t’i Andrianañahare, Eka, torifike boak’ andro t’i Andrianañahare;
God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day.
12 Aa naho tsy mimpoly t’indaty: le ho sioña’e i fibara’ey; fa navoho’e ty fale’e vaho nihajarie’e;
If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready;
13 Fa nihentseñe’e fialiañe mahafate, ampibelabelae’ afo o ana-pàle’eo.
He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows.
14 Hehe t’ie tsongoen-tsihavokarañe, ie nampiareñe kilily vaho hiterake i remborake;
Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment!
15 Nihaly kobon-dre naho nampigorabahe’e, vaho tafajorobo amy hinali’ey.
He made a pit and digged it. And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Toe hibalik’ an-doha’e avao ty fikitroha’e raty, vaho hivotrak’ an-kevo’e eo i nandovia’ey.
His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull.
17 Andriañeko t’Iehovà ty amy havantaña’ey, ho bangoeko an-tsabo ty tahina’ Iehovà Andindimoneñe.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
