Salamo 90
1 Ry Talè, Ihe ni-fimoneña’ay amo tarira’ay iabio.
BOOK FOURTH: “A prayer of Moses the man of God.” Lord, a place of refuge hast thou been unto us in all generations.
2 Ie mboe tsy toly o vohitseo mboe tsy tsinene’o ty tane toy naho ty voatse toy, boak’ an-kaehae hambo’e añe pak’ an-kitro añ’afe’e añe, Ihe ro Andrianañahare.
Before yet the mountains were brought forth, or thou hadst ever produced the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Ampolie’o mb’an-debok’ ao ondatio ami’ty hoe: Mimpolia ry ana’ondaty.
Thou turnest man to contrition, and sayest, Return ye children of men.
4 Fa arivo taoñe am-pivazohoa’o ty andro raike toe hoe omale te nihelañe, ie manahake ty fiambenañe an-kaleñe.
For a thousand years are in thy eyes but as the yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Sinao’o añe hoe an-tsorotombake iereo, le miròtse, f’ie maraiñe, le hoe ahetse mipitsipitsike.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning [they grow] like the grass which changeth.
6 Mioboñoboñe te maraindraiñe mbore mitombo, ie hariva miheatse vaho miforejeje.
In the morning it blossometh, and is changed: in the evening it is mowed off, and withereth.
7 Toe mongore’ ty haviñera’o zahay, mampangebahebak’ anay ty fifombo’o.
For [thus] are we consumed by thy anger, and by thy fury are we terrified.
8 Fa napo’o añatrefa’o o tahi’aio, am-pireandrean-dahara’o eo o hakeo’ay mietakeo.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our concealed sins before the light of thy countenance.
9 Fonga mihelañe ami’ty fifombo’o o andro’aio; fa nagado’ay hoe fiselekaiñañe o tao’aio.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we consume our years like a word that is spoken.
10 Ty andro’ o tao’aio le fitompolo taoñe; mete ho valo-polo, t’ie maozatse; fe hamokorañe naho fangoakoahañe avao ty enge’e, migadoñe aniany, vaho mitiliñ’añe.
The days of our years in this life are seventy years; and if by uncommon vigor they be eighty, yet is their greatness trouble and mishap; for it soon hasteneth off, and we fly away.
11 Ia ty mahafohiñe ty haozara’ o haviñera’oo? naho ty fañeveñañe mañeva Azo ty ami’ty fifombo’o?
Who knoweth the strength of thy anger, and thy wrath which is like the fear of thee?
12 Aa le anaro zahay hañiake o andro’aio, hahazoa’ay arofo mahihitse.
Let us then know how to number our days, that we may obtain a heart endowed with wisdom.
13 Mimpolia ry Iehovà! Ombia? iferenaiño o mpitoro’oo
Return, O Lord, how long yet? and bethink thee concerning thy servants.
14 Eneño an-kafatraram-pikokoa’o te maraindray zahay, hirebeha’ay naho hifalea’ay amo hene andro’aio.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy kindness, that we may be glad and rejoice throughout all our days.
15 Ampifaleo mira amo andro nampisotria’o anaio, naho amo taoñe nahaisaha’ay haratiañeo.
Cause us to rejoice as many days as those wherein thou hast afflicted us, the years wherein we have seen unhappiness.
16 Fa halange amo mpitoro’oo o fitoloña’oo, naho ty enge’o amo ana’ iareoo.
Let thy act be visible on thy servants, and thy majesty over their children.
17 Ho aman-tika ty fañisoha’ i Talè Andrianañahare’ay; ajadoño ty tolom-pità’ay; eka aoreño o satam-pità’aio.
And may the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and the work of our hands do thou firmly establish upon us: yea, the work of our hands—firmly establish thou it.
