Salamo 91
1 I mpimoneñe am-pipalira’ i Andindimoneñeiy, ty hitoetse añ’alo’ i El-Sadai ao,
Those who live under the protection of God Almighty, will be able to rest [safely] under his care.
2 Hanoako ty hoe t’Iehovà: Ty fiampirako, ty rova fitsolohako, i Andrianañahare fiatoakoy.
I will declare to Yahweh, “You protect me; [you are like] a fort [MET] in which I am safe. You are my God, the one in whom I trust.”
3 Ie ty mpañaha azo boak’ am-bitsom-pamandri-boroñe ao, naho boak’ amy biloka mahahomakey.
Yahweh will rescue you from all hidden traps and save you from deadly diseases.
4 Haholonkolo’e am-bolon-ela’e ao irehe, ambane’ o ela’eo ty hipalira’o; fikalan-defo naho fikala-meso ty hatò’e.
He will shield/protect you [like a bird shields/protects its chicks] [MET] with/under her wings. You will be safe (in his care/because he takes care of you). His faithfully doing what he has promised is like a shield [MET] that will protect you.
5 Tsy hahahembañ’ azo ty hetraketrak’ an-kaleñe, ndra ty ana-pale mihirirìñe an-tariñandroke.
You will not be afraid of things that happen during the night that could (terrorize you/cause you to be very afraid), or of arrows that [your enemies will shoot at you] during the day.
6 Ndra ty kiria mitingañe añ’ieñe ao ndra ty angorosy mamotsake naho antoandro.
You will not be afraid of (plagues/widespread sicknesses) that demons cause when they attack people at night, or of other [evil forces] that kill people at midday.
7 Arivo ty mete hikorovok’ añ’ ila’o eo, le rai-ale ty am-pitàn-kavana’o eo, f’ie tsy hitotok’ azo.
Even if 1,000 people fall [dead] alongside you, even if 10,000 [people are dying] around you, you will not be harmed.
8 O fihaino’oo avao ro hisamba, hahaisake ty fandilovañe o lo-tserekeo.
Look and see that (wicked people are being punished/God is punishing wicked people)!
9 Amy te Iehovà, fitsolohako, i Andindimoneñey, ty nanoe’o fimoneñañe,
If you allow Yahweh to protect you, if you trust God Almighty to (shelter/take care of) you,
10 Tsy hidoiñe ama’o ty hankàñe, tsy hitotofan-angorosy ty akiba’o,
nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near your house,
11 Fa hafanto’e ama’o o anjeli’eo, hañambeñe azo amo lia’o iabio;
because Yahweh will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.
12 hañotrotroa’e am-pità’e ao, tsy mone hadasi’o ami’ty vato ty fandia’o.
They will hold you up with their hands, with the result that you will not hurt your foot on a big stone.
13 Ho lià’o ty liona naho ty fandrefeala; ho hitsakitsahe’o ambanem-pandia’o eo ty liona-tora’e naho i mereñey.
You will be [kept safe from being harmed by your enemies] [MET]; [it will be as though] you are stepping on lions and poisonous snakes [without them harming you!]
14 Kanao ifahara’e koko, ho hahako, havotrako an-kaboañe ey amy te fohi’e ty añarako.
[Yahweh says], “I will rescue those who love me, I will protect them because they (acknowledge that I am Yahweh/know me).
15 Ho kanjie’e, le ho toiñeko; hindrezako te am-poheke, ho votsorako vaho ho tolorako asiñe.
When they call out to me, I will answer them. I will help them when they are experiencing trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
16 Heneñeko halava’ havelon-dre; vaho hampahaoniñeko aze ty fandrombahako.
I will reward them by enabling them to live a long time, and I will save them.”
