Salamo 77
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God for help—I even shout. If only he would listen to me!
2 Amy andro nahampohek’ ahiy t’ie nipay i Talè; an-taña nahity, tsy nigebañe te haleñe; nifoneñe tsy hohòeñe ty foko.
When I was in trouble I prayed to the Lord. All night long I stretched out my hands to him in prayer but nothing brought me any comfort.
3 Ie mahatiahy iraho, ry Andrianañahare le mitretretretre, ie tsakorèko, le mitoirañe ty troko. Selà
I thought about God, groaning loudly; I meditated on him, but I was discouraged. (Selah)
4 Tana’o tsy hikòpoke o holi-masokoo; embetse iraho tsy mahafivolañe.
You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.
5 Nereñereko o andro taoloo, o taoñe haehaeo,
I think of the old days, years ago.
6 Tiahiko o nititihako an-kaleñeo; mifañaoñe ami’ty troko iraho, le hoe ty fitsakorean-troko:
I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:
7 Haitoa’ i Talè zafe-anake hao? le lia’e tsy hisohe’e hao?
Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?
8 Fa modo kitro añ’afe’e hao ty fiferenaiña’e? Fa nilesa kitro-katroke hao i nampitamae’ey?
Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?
9 Nihaliñon’Añahare hao ty fatariha’e? nagabe’e an-kaviñerañe ao hao i fitretreza’ey? Selà
Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? (Selah)
10 Le hoe raho: Zao ty halemeako: Ie ataoko ho mete miova ty fitàn-kavana’ i Andindimoneñey.
Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”
11 Ho tiahiko ty fitoloña’ Ià, hahatsikaitse o raha tsitantane nanoe’o haehaeo.
I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.
12 Ho hene tsakorèko o fitoloña’oo, hereñerèko o tolon-draha’oo.
I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.
13 Ry Andrianañahare, masiñe ty lala’o; ia ty ndrahare ra’elahy hañirinkiriñe aman’ Añahare?
God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?
14 Ihe ro Andrianañahare mitolon-kalatsàñe! fa naboa’o am’ ondatio ty haozara’o.
You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.
15 Nijebañem-pità’o ondati’oo, o tarira’ Iakobe naho Iosefeo. Selà
Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Nahatrea Azo o ranoo, ry Andrianañahare, ie nahatrea azo i ranoy le nivalitaboake! nitabohazake i lalekey.
When the waters saw you, God, when they looked they trembled! Yes, they shook down to the very depths!
17 Nampikojojoake orañe o rahoñeo; nigorogodoiñe i likerañey, nimb’etia mb’atia ka o ana-pale’oo.
The clouds poured rain down; the skies crashed with thunder; your lightning flew like arrows.
18 Tam-po’ i tangololahiy ty fivola’ i ampi’oy; nampireandreañe’ i helatsey ty voatse toy! nihondrahondra naho niozoñozoñe ty tane toy.
Your thunder rumbled from the whirlwind; lightning flashes lit up the world; the earth quaked and shook.
19 Nitoañe’ i lala’oy i riakey, i rano jabajabay ty nilalan-tsile’o; vaho tsy nioniñe o liam-pandia’oo.
Your way led through the sea; your path passed through the deep sea; yet your footprints were invisible.
20 Narahe’o hoe lia-raike ondati’oo, am-pità’ i Mosè naho i Aharone.
You led your people like a flock, shepherded by Moses and Aaron.
