Salamo 74
1 Ry Andrianañahare, ino ty ifaria’o anay zafe-anake? Ino ty ifomboa’o o añondry fiandraze’oo?
Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock 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 gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein 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 steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4 Niroharoha añivo’ o famantaña’oo o rafelahi’oo; najado’ iareo ty vilo’ iareo ho viloñe.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
5 Sata’e ty maonjom-pekoñe añ’ala matahetse ao;
It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
6 Ie henaneo, mamatsike am-pekoñe naho rabosàke o varamba’e nitsenèñe an-tsokitseo.
And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
7 Finorototo’ iereo pak’an-tane i efe’o miavakey; nitivae’ iereo i fimoneñan- tahina’o masiñey.
They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
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: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 Tsy mahatrea o vilo’aio zahay; tsy amam-pitoky ka; naho tsy ama’ay ty mahafohiñe te hombia.
We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
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 adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme 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 withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
12 Toe mpanjakako boake haehae t’i Andrianañahare, mitoloñe fandrombahañe an-tane atoy.
Yet God is my King of old, working 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 didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 Hinoto’o o loha’ i fañanen-driakeio, hamahana’o o mpimoneñe am-patrañeo.
Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Nipoñafe’o o rano mitsiritsiokeo naho o sakao; nimaihe’o o oñe mikararake nainai’eo.
Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
16 Azo ty antoandro, Azo ka ty haleñe; fa nihajarie’o o hazavàñeo naho i àndroy
Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
17 Najado’o iaby o fiefetsefe’ ty tane toio, nanoe’o ty asotry naho ty asara.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Tiahio, ry Iehovà, te niteratera i rafelahiy, vaho nitivae’ o lo-tserekeo i Tahina’oy.
Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
19 Ko atolo’o ami’ty biby hàko ty deho’o, ko haliño’o nainai’e o nanilofe’oo.
O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
20 Ambeno i fañinay, fa atseke kibohon-kasiahañe o toetse maieñe’ an-taneo!
Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Ko hampolie’o an-kasalarañe o demokeo! fa hibango i tahina’oy o misotrio naho o poie’eo.
O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
22 Miongaha, ry Andrianañahare, ihalalio o azoo; tiahio ty fiterà’ i dagolay lomoñandro.
Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
23 Ko haliño ty feo’ o rafelahi’oo; mitoabotse nainai’e ty fifandragaragà’ o mitroatse ama’oo.
Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
