Salamo 71
1 Ihe ry Iehovà, ro itsolohako; ko apo’o ho salareñe,
In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
2 Votsoro ami’ty havantaña’o, naho hahao; atokilaño amako ty ravembia’o vaho rombaho.
In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
3 Ehe t’ie ho vato fimoneñako, ho fimpoliako; fa nafanto’o ty handrombahañe ahiko; Ihe ro lamilamiko naho rova fiàroko.
Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
4 Avotsoro an-tañan-do-tsereke iraho, ry Andrianañahareko ami’ty fivontitira’ ty mpandilatse naho i mpampisoañey.
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 Fa Ihe ro fitamàko, ry Iehovà Talè; ty natokisako boak’ami’te nahajalahy.
For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
6 Ihe ty nirampiako boak’an-kovin-dreneko ao; Ihe ty nañakatse ahy an-tron-dreneko; Rengeko nainai’e irehe.
By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
7 Filatsà’ i màroy iraho, f’Ihe ro fipalirako maozatse.
As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
8 Pea’ ty fibangoañe naho ty fiasiañ’Azo lomoñandro ty vavako,
Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
9 Ko aitoa’o iraho naho fa bey; ko mamorintseñe ahy naho milesa ty haozarako.
Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
10 Fa nikinia’ o rafelahikoo; vaho mitrao-pikilily ahy o mivoñoñe ty fiaikoo,
For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
11 ami’ty hoe: naforintsen’ Añahare, horidaño arè vaho tsepaho amy t’ie po-pañolotse.
Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
12 Ry Andrianañahare, ko ihànkaña’o, ry Andrianañahareko, malisà hañolots’ ahy.
O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
13 Ho salareñe naho mongoreñe o manisý ty fiaikoo; le hoboñañ’ inje naho hameñarañe o mipay hijoy ahikoo.
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 Fa naho izaho, hitama nainai’e vaho honjoneko avao ty fandrengeako Azo.
And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
15 Ho talilie’ ty vavako o havantaña’oo, naho o fandrombaha’o lomoñandroo, fe nofiko ty hamaro’e.
My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Hindeseko o tolon-draha’o ra’elahio, ry Iehovà Talè; ho taroñeko ty havantaña’o, ty Azo avao.
I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
17 Ry Andrianañahare, fa nanare’o ahy boak’ ami’ty nahajalahy ahy; pake henaneo, taroñeko avao o raha fanjaka fanoe’oo.
God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
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.
And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
19 Pak’ andindiñe añe ty havantaña’o, ry Andrianañahare. Ihe namonitse o raha ra’elahio: ry Andrianañahare, ia ty mañirinkiriñe ama’o?
And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
20 Ihe nampahatrea ahiko haemberañe maro naho hasotriañe; ro hameloñ’ahy, hañakatse naho hampipoly ahy hirik’ an-kerakeran-tane ao.
Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
21 Ehe, onjono ty engeko, vaho mitoliha hañohò ahy.
Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
22 Ho rengeko ami’ty mandalina ka, ty ami’ty hatò’o, ry Andrianañahareko; ho saboeko ami’ty marovany, ry Masi-Toka’ Israele.
I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Hipoñake an-drebeke o soñikoo, ie mandrenge Azo an-tsabo, naho i fiaiko jineba’oy.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
24 Ho talilie’ ty lelako lomoñandro o havantaña’oo, fa salatse, toe meñatse o mipay hijoy ahikoo.
My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
