Salamo 74
1 Ry Andrianañahare, ino ty ifaria’o anay zafe-anake? Ino ty ifomboa’o o añondry fiandraze’oo?
Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Tiahio i valobohòke vinili’o haehaey, i foko jineba’o ho lova’oy! naho ty vohi’ i Tsiône fimoneña’oy.
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
3 Aonjono o fandia’oo mb’amy hakoahañe nainai’ey, jinoi’ i rafelahiy ze hene raha an-toe’ i miavakey ao.
Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Niroharoha añivo’ o famantaña’oo o rafelahi’oo; najado’ iareo ty vilo’ iareo ho viloñe.
And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,
5 Sata’e ty maonjom-pekoñe añ’ala matahetse ao;
And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,
6 Ie henaneo, mamatsike am-pekoñe naho rabosàke o varamba’e nitsenèñe an-tsokitseo.
They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
7 Finorototo’ iereo pak’an-tane i efe’o miavakey; nitivae’ iereo i fimoneñan- tahina’o masiñey.
They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
8 Hoe ty fisafirin-tro’iareo: Antao haharo ambaneñe iaby iereo; Fonga nitomontoe’ iareo o toem-pivorin’ Añahare an-taneo.
They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.
9 Tsy mahatrea o vilo’aio zahay; tsy amam-pitoky ka; naho tsy ama’ay ty mahafohiñe te hombia.
Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.
10 Pak’ombia ry Andrianañahare, te mbe hanìtse avao i rafelahiy? Ho tsambolitio’ o malaiñ’azo nainai’e hao i tahina’oy?
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
11 Ino ty nanitaha’o ty fità’o? I fitàn-kavana’oy? Afaho boak’ añ’araña’o ao ty fità’o, vaho mongoro?
Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?
12 Toe mpanjakako boake haehae t’i Andrianañahare, mitoloñe fandrombahañe an-tane atoy.
But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Riniaria’o an-kaozarañe i riakey vaho dinemo’o an-drano ao o loha’ i fañaneñeio.
Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Hinoto’o o loha’ i fañanen-driakeio, hamahana’o o mpimoneñe am-patrañeo.
Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
15 Nipoñafe’o o rano mitsiritsiokeo naho o sakao; nimaihe’o o oñe mikararake nainai’eo.
Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
16 Azo ty antoandro, Azo ka ty haleñe; fa nihajarie’o o hazavàñeo naho i àndroy
Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
17 Najado’o iaby o fiefetsefe’ ty tane toio, nanoe’o ty asotry naho ty asara.
Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
18 Tiahio, ry Iehovà, te niteratera i rafelahiy, vaho nitivae’ o lo-tserekeo i Tahina’oy.
Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
19 Ko atolo’o ami’ty biby hàko ty deho’o, ko haliño’o nainai’e o nanilofe’oo.
Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
20 Ambeno i fañinay, fa atseke kibohon-kasiahañe o toetse maieñe’ an-taneo!
Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
21 Ko hampolie’o an-kasalarañe o demokeo! fa hibango i tahina’oy o misotrio naho o poie’eo.
Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
22 Miongaha, ry Andrianañahare, ihalalio o azoo; tiahio ty fiterà’ i dagolay lomoñandro.
Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.
23 Ko haliño ty feo’ o rafelahi’oo; mitoabotse nainai’e ty fifandragaragà’ o mitroatse ama’oo.
Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
