Salamo 71
1 Ihe ry Iehovà, ro itsolohako; ko apo’o ho salareñe,
In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.
2 Votsoro ami’ty havantaña’o, naho hahao; atokilaño amako ty ravembia’o vaho rombaho.
Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.
3 Ehe t’ie ho vato fimoneñako, ho fimpoliako; fa nafanto’o ty handrombahañe ahiko; Ihe ro lamilamiko naho rova fiàroko.
Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.
4 Avotsoro an-tañan-do-tsereke iraho, ry Andrianañahareko ami’ty fivontitira’ ty mpandilatse naho i mpampisoañey.
O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 Fa Ihe ro fitamàko, ry Iehovà Talè; ty natokisako boak’ami’te nahajalahy.
For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.
6 Ihe ty nirampiako boak’an-kovin-dreneko ao; Ihe ty nañakatse ahy an-tron-dreneko; Rengeko nainai’e irehe.
You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.
7 Filatsà’ i màroy iraho, f’Ihe ro fipalirako maozatse.
I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.
8 Pea’ ty fibangoañe naho ty fiasiañ’Azo lomoñandro ty vavako,
My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.
9 Ko aitoa’o iraho naho fa bey; ko mamorintseñe ahy naho milesa ty haozarako.
Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.
10 Fa nikinia’ o rafelahikoo; vaho mitrao-pikilily ahy o mivoñoñe ty fiaikoo,
For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,
11 ami’ty hoe: naforintsen’ Añahare, horidaño arè vaho tsepaho amy t’ie po-pañolotse.
Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.
12 Ry Andrianañahare, ko ihànkaña’o, ry Andrianañahareko, malisà hañolots’ ahy.
O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.
13 Ho salareñe naho mongoreñe o manisý ty fiaikoo; le hoboñañ’ inje naho hameñarañe o mipay hijoy ahikoo.
Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.
14 Fa naho izaho, hitama nainai’e vaho honjoneko avao ty fandrengeako Azo.
But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.
15 Ho talilie’ ty vavako o havantaña’oo, naho o fandrombaha’o lomoñandroo, fe nofiko ty hamaro’e.
My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.
16 Hindeseko o tolon-draha’o ra’elahio, ry Iehovà Talè; ho taroñeko ty havantaña’o, ty Azo avao.
I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
17 Ry Andrianañahare, fa nanare’o ahy boak’ ami’ty nahajalahy ahy; pake henaneo, taroñeko avao o raha fanjaka fanoe’oo.
O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.
18 Aa ndra t’ie bey naho fotivolo, ry Andrianañahare, ko farie’o ampara’ te ataliliko añ’afeafe ty haozara’o; ty hafatrara’o amy ze hene ho avy.
Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.
19 Pak’ andindiñe añe ty havantaña’o, ry Andrianañahare. Ihe namonitse o raha ra’elahio: ry Andrianañahare, ia ty mañirinkiriñe ama’o?
Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?
20 Ihe nampahatrea ahiko haemberañe maro naho hasotriañe; ro hameloñ’ahy, hañakatse naho hampipoly ahy hirik’ an-kerakeran-tane ao.
You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.
21 Ehe, onjono ty engeko, vaho mitoliha hañohò ahy.
You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.
22 Ho rengeko ami’ty mandalina ka, ty ami’ty hatò’o, ry Andrianañahareko; ho saboeko ami’ty marovany, ry Masi-Toka’ Israele.
I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Hipoñake an-drebeke o soñikoo, ie mandrenge Azo an-tsabo, naho i fiaiko jineba’oy.
Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.
24 Ho talilie’ ty lelako lomoñandro o havantaña’oo, fa salatse, toe meñatse o mipay hijoy ahikoo.
My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
