Salamo 74
1 Ry Andrianañahare, ino ty ifaria’o anay zafe-anake? Ino ty ifomboa’o o añondry fiandraze’oo?
A psalm (maskil) of Asaph. God, why have you rejected us? Is it forever? Why does your anger burn so hot against the sheep of your own field?
2 Tiahio i valobohòke vinili’o haehaey, i foko jineba’o ho lova’oy! naho ty vohi’ i Tsiône fimoneña’oy.
Remember the people you made your own long ago, the tribe you redeemed and made your own. Remember too Mount Zion, the place where you live.
3 Aonjono o fandia’oo mb’amy hakoahañe nainai’ey, jinoi’ i rafelahiy ze hene raha an-toe’ i miavakey ao.
Come and walk through the complete devastation. The enemy has totally destroyed your Temple.
4 Niroharoha añivo’ o famantaña’oo o rafelahi’oo; najado’ iareo ty vilo’ iareo ho viloñe.
The enemy shouted in triumph right where you met with us. There they set up their war banners as signs of their victory.
5 Sata’e ty maonjom-pekoñe añ’ala matahetse ao;
They acted like men chopping down a forest with axes.
6 Ie henaneo, mamatsike am-pekoñe naho rabosàke o varamba’e nitsenèñe an-tsokitseo.
With axes and hammers they smashed in the carved wooden panels.
7 Finorototo’ iereo pak’an-tane i efe’o miavakey; nitivae’ iereo i fimoneñan- tahina’o masiñey.
Then they set fire to your Temple, burning it to the ground. They defiled the place where you live, the place that bears your name.
8 Hoe ty fisafirin-tro’iareo: Antao haharo ambaneñe iaby iereo; Fonga nitomontoe’ iareo o toem-pivorin’ Añahare an-taneo.
They said to themselves, “Let's destroy it all!” So they burned down every place where God was worshiped throughout the land.
9 Tsy mahatrea o vilo’aio zahay; tsy amam-pitoky ka; naho tsy ama’ay ty mahafohiñe te hombia.
We no longer see any signs. There are no prophets left. And no one among us knows how long this will last.
10 Pak’ombia ry Andrianañahare, te mbe hanìtse avao i rafelahiy? Ho tsambolitio’ o malaiñ’azo nainai’e hao i tahina’oy?
How long will the enemy ridicule you, God? Will they insult your character forever?
11 Ino ty nanitaha’o ty fità’o? I fitàn-kavana’oy? Afaho boak’ añ’araña’o ao ty fità’o, vaho mongoro?
Why do you hold back from doing something? Take action and destroy them!
12 Toe mpanjakako boake haehae t’i Andrianañahare, mitoloñe fandrombahañe an-tane atoy.
But you, God, are our king from long ago. You have saved us many times in the land.
13 Riniaria’o an-kaozarañe i riakey vaho dinemo’o an-drano ao o loha’ i fañaneñeio.
You were the one who split apart the sea by your strength; you broke the heads of the sea monsters.
14 Hinoto’o o loha’ i fañanen-driakeio, hamahana’o o mpimoneñe am-patrañeo.
You were the one who crushed the heads of Leviathan, and you gave its body to the desert animals to eat.
15 Nipoñafe’o o rano mitsiritsiokeo naho o sakao; nimaihe’o o oñe mikararake nainai’eo.
You were the one who made springs and rivers flow with water. You made permanent rivers dry up.
16 Azo ty antoandro, Azo ka ty haleñe; fa nihajarie’o o hazavàñeo naho i àndroy
You created the day, and also the night; you made the moon and the sun.
17 Najado’o iaby o fiefetsefe’ ty tane toio, nanoe’o ty asotry naho ty asara.
You set the boundaries of the earth; you made summer and winter.
18 Tiahio, ry Iehovà, te niteratera i rafelahiy, vaho nitivae’ o lo-tserekeo i Tahina’oy.
So keep in mind how the enemy ridiculed you, Lord, and how irreverent people insulted your reputation.
19 Ko atolo’o ami’ty biby hàko ty deho’o, ko haliño’o nainai’e o nanilofe’oo.
Don't let wild animals kill your turtledoves! Don't abandon your people forever!
20 Ambeno i fañinay, fa atseke kibohon-kasiahañe o toetse maieñe’ an-taneo!
Remember your promises in the agreement, because the land is full of dark places and violence.
21 Ko hampolie’o an-kasalarañe o demokeo! fa hibango i tahina’oy o misotrio naho o poie’eo.
Don't let those who suffer be mistreated again. Let the poor and needy praise you for you who are.
22 Miongaha, ry Andrianañahare, ihalalio o azoo; tiahio ty fiterà’ i dagolay lomoñandro.
Stand up, God, and plead your case. Don't forget how these foolish people insulted you all the time.
23 Ko haliño ty feo’ o rafelahi’oo; mitoabotse nainai’e ty fifandragaragà’ o mitroatse ama’oo.
Don't ignore what your enemies have said, for their loud accusations against you are getting worse and worse!
