Psalms 80

1 For the leader. On shoshannim, eduth. Of Asaph, a psalm. Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock of sheep; from your throne on the cherubs shine forth

2 before Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin. Stir up your mighty power, come to our help.

Tsekafo añatrefa’ i Efraime naho i Beniamine naho i Menase ty haozara’o vaho mb’etoa hañimba anay!

3 God, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.

Ry Andrianañahare, Ampolio zahay naho ampireandreaño laharañe, soa te ho tra-drombake zahay.

4 O Lord of hosts, how long is your anger to smoke, despite the prayer of your people?

O ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy, pak’ombia ty mbe hiviñera’o ty halali’ ondati’oo?

5 You have fed them with bread of tears, you have made them drink tears by the measure.

Nazotso’o mofon-dranom-pihaino, naho nampigenohe’o ranomaso am-pitovy telo.

6 The scorn of our neighbours you make us, the laughing-stock of our foes.

Ampanivetivè’o ondaty mañohok’anaio; vaho vereverè’ o rafelahi’aio.

7 God of hosts, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.

Ry Andrianañahare’ i Màroy. Ampolio zahay, ampireandreaño ty lahara’o, soa t’ie ho tra-drombake.

8 A vine out of Egypt you brought; you did drive out the nations, and plant her;

Nitsongoe’o boak’e Mitsraime ty vahe; rinoa’o o kilakila‘ndatio naho naketsa’o.

9 in the ground you did clear she struck root, and she filled all the land.

Nihatsafe’o ty tane aolo’e eo, naho nampandaleke o vaha’eo, vaho nanitsife’o i taney.

10 The shade of her covered the mountains, her branches the cedars of God.

Nikopahe’ i alo’ey o vohitseo; naho o tsampa’eo o mendoraveñe ra’elahio.

11 She sent forth her shoots to the sea, and her branches as far as the River.

Nandrevake mb’amy riakey o ra’eo, naho pak’amy sakay añe o tora’eo.

12 Why have you torn down her fences, and left her to be plucked at by all who pass by,

Aa vaho akore ty nandrotsaha’o o fahe’eo, hitimpona’ ze miary eo,

13 to be gnawed by the boar from the forest, and devoured by the beasts of the field?

Troatroae’ ty lambon’ ala, vaho abotse’ ze misitsitse an-kivoke ey.

14 O God of hosts, return: look down from heaven and see and visit this vine, and restore her

Ry Andrianañahare’ i màroy, Ehe, Mibaliha, mijilova boak’ an-dikerañe ao naho vazoho vaho tiliho ty vahe toy,

15 the vine which your right hand has planted.

Eka! i tora’e naketsam-pitàn-kavana’oy, i ana-dahy nampaozare’o ho Azoy,

16 She is burned with fire and cut down before your stern face they are perishing.

finorototo’ ty afo, finira, mihomake ami’ty fitrevohan-dahara’o.

17 Support the one you have chosen, the one you have raised for yourself;

Anampezo fitàñe indatim-pitàn-kavana’oy, i ana’ ondaty nampifatrare’o ho Azoy.

18 then from you we will never draw back. Preserve us, and we will call on your name.

Vaho tsy hiambohoa’ay; Ehe sotraho, hikanjia’ay ty tahina’o.

19 Lord, God of hosts, restore us: Show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.

Ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Màroy; Ampolio zahay, ampireandreaño ama’ay ty lahara’o, vaho ho tra-drombake.
