Psalms 143
1 Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you! Because you are righteous and because you faithfully do what you have promised, listen to what I am pleading that you [do for me].
Salamo nataon’ i Davida.
2 I am one who serves you; do not judge me, because you know that everyone has done things that are wrong).
Ary aza dia mifandahatra amin’ ny mpanomponao eo am-pitsarana; Fa tsy misy olombelona ho marina eo anatrehanao.
3 [My] enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. [It is as though] they have put me in a dark [prison], where I [have nothing good to] ([hope for/expect]), like those who died long ago [SIM].
Fa nanenjika ny fanahiko ny fahavalo; Namely ny aiko ho lavo tamin’ ny tany izy: Nampitoeriny tao amin’ ny maizina aho, toy izay efa maty ela.
4 So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.
Dia reraka ny fanahiko ato anatiko; Fadiranovana ny foko ato anatiko.
5 I remember what has happened previously: I (meditate on/think about) all the things that you have done; I consider [all] the [great] deeds that you [SYN] have performed.
Mahatsiaro ny andro fahiny ho Ary misaina ny asanao rehetra; Ny asan’ ny tananao no eritreretiko.
6 I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I [SYN] need you, like very dry ground [needs rain] [SIM].
Mananty tanana aminao aho; Ny fanahiko dia tahaka ny tany mangetana eo anatrehanao. (Sela)
7 Yahweh, I am very discouraged, [so] please answer me right now! Do not hide from me, because if you do that, I will [soon] be [SIM] among those who descend to where the dead people are.
Faingàna hamaly ahy, Jehovah ô, fa reraka ny fanahiko; Aza manafina ny tavanao amiko, Fandrao ho tahaka izay midìna any am-pasana aho.
8 [Every] morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love [me], because I trust in you. I (pray/send my prayers up [IDM]) to you; show me what I should do.
Ampandreneso ny famindram-ponao aho nony maraina, Fa Hianao no itokiako; Ampahalalao ahy izay lalana tokony halehako, Fa aminao no ananganako ny fanahiko.
9 Yahweh, I have gone/run to you to be protected, [so] rescue me from my enemies.
Jehovah ô, vonjeo amin’ ny fa-havaloko aho; Ao aminao no iereko.
10 You are my God; teach me to do what you want me to do. I want your good Spirit to lead me on a path that is not difficult to walk on.
Ampianaro hanao ny sitraponao aho; Fa Hianao no Andriamanitro; Aoka ny Fanahinao tsara no hitarihanao ahy amin’ izay tany marina.
11 Yahweh, restore me when I am close to dying, as you promised to do. Because you are righteous/good, rescue me from my troubles/difficulties!
Noho ny anaranao, Jehovah ô, velomy aho; Araka ny fahamarinanao avoahy ny fanahiko ho afaka amin’ ny fahoriana.
12 I am one who serves you; so because you faithfully love [me], kill my enemies and get rid of all those who (oppress/cause trouble for) me.
Ary araka ny famindram-ponao fongory ny fahavaloko, Ka aringano izay rehetra mampahory ny fanahiko; Fa mpanomponao aho.
