Salamo 88
1 Ry Iehovà, Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañe ahiko, itoreovako handro an-kaleñe añatrefa’o,
A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
2 Ehe te hiatrek’ azo ty halaliko; atokilaño mb’amy fikaihakoy ty ravembia’o;
Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
4 Volilieñe amo migodoñe mb’an-davak’ ao iraho; hoe ondaty nipitso-pañimba.
I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
5 Mihoriñe amo vilasio iraho, manahake o vinono mitsalalampatse an-kiborio, o tsy tiahi’o kañeo, o naito am-pità’oo.
free amongst the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
6 Navotra’o ami’ty loho herakerak’ ao an-toe’e mimoromoroñe an-dalek’ ao.
They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
7 Napok’ amako o fifombo’oo, naho naniloke ahy o kinera’oo. Selà
Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
8 Fa naveve’o lavitse ahy o rañekoo, nampirihie’o ahiko. migoboñe atoan-draho tsy mahafiakatse;
You have removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
9 Mitike amy hasotriakoy o masokoo. fa nikanjieko boak’andro, ry Iehovà; fa namelarako tañañe.
Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to you.
10 Hanoa’o raha tsitantane hao o loloo? Hitroatse hañandriañ’ Azo hao o angatseo? Selà
Will you work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
11 Ho talilieñe an-donak’ ao hao ty fiferenaiña’o? an-tsikeokeok’ ao hao ty figahiña’o?
Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
12 Hampahafohineñe am-pimoromoroñañe ao hao o halatsà’oo, naho an-tanem-pandikofañe ao hao ty havañona’o?
Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
13 Aa naho izaho, ihe ry Iehovà ty itoreovako; mifanalaka ama’o boak’andro o halalikoo.
But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
14 Ry Iehovà akore te farie’o ty fiaiko? Ino ty añetaha’o laharañ’ amako?
Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] turn your face away from me?
15 Nalovilovy ho nikenkan-draho ampara’ ty nahajalahy ahiko, fa nivavèko ty hetraketra’o, vaho voretra.
I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
16 Fa nandipotse ahy ty fifombo’o miforoforo; vaho fa nañito ahy ty firevendreveñañe ama’o.
Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
17 Niropak’ amako lomoñandro hoe rano, le nanaron-kohok’ ahy.
They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
18 Toe nampihankàñe’o amako ty mpikoko naho rañetse; atehenako ty hamoromoroñañe.
You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
