Salamo 74
1 Ry Andrianañahare, ino ty ifaria’o anay zafe-anake? Ino ty ifomboa’o o añondry fiandraze’oo?
Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why] doth thy anger smoke 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 purchased of old: the rod of thy inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, 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 feet to the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Niroharoha añivo’ o famantaña’oo o rafelahi’oo; najado’ iareo ty vilo’ iareo ho viloñe.
Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
5 Sata’e ty maonjom-pekoñe añ’ala matahetse ao;
[A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 Ie henaneo, mamatsike am-pekoñe naho rabosàke o varamba’e nitsenèñe an-tsokitseo.
But now they break down the carved work of it at once with axes and hammers.
7 Finorototo’ iereo pak’an-tane i efe’o miavakey; nitivae’ iereo i fimoneñan- tahina’o masiñey.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling-place of thy name 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 hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues 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?
O God, how long 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? pluck [it] out of thy bosom.
12 Toe mpanjakako boake haehae t’i Andrianañahare, mitoloñe fandrombahañe an-tane atoy.
For 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 divide the sea by thy strength: thou didst break the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Hinoto’o o loha’ i fañanen-driakeio, hamahana’o o mpimoneñe am-patrañeo.
Thou didst break the head of leviathan in pieces, [and] didst give him [to be] food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Nipoñafe’o o rano mitsiritsiokeo naho o sakao; nimaihe’o o oñe mikararake nainai’eo.
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou didst dry up mighty rivers.
16 Azo ty antoandro, Azo ka ty haleñe; fa nihajarie’o o hazavàñeo naho i àndroy
The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the 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, the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and the foolish 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 to the multitude [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20 Ambeno i fañinay, fa atseke kibohon-kasiahañe o toetse maieñe’ an-taneo!
Have respect to the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 Ko hampolie’o an-kasalarañe o demokeo! fa hibango i tahina’oy o misotrio naho o poie’eo.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: 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 thy own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23 Ko haliño ty feo’ o rafelahi’oo; mitoabotse nainai’e ty fifandragaragà’ o mitroatse ama’oo.
Forget not the voice of thy enemies: the tumult of those that rise against thee increaseth continually.
