Psalms 64

1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Henoy ny feoko, raha mitaraina aho, Andriamanitra ô; arovy ny aiko amin’ ny tahotro ny fahavalo.

2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.

Afeno aho tsy ho azon’ ny firaisan-tetiky ny ratsy fanahy, sy ny fitabataban’ ny mpanao ratsy,

3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.

Izay mandranitra ny lelany ho tahaka ny sabatra, ka mikendry handefa ny zana-tsipìkany, dia teny mangidy.

4 Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].

Mba hitifitra mangingina ny mahitsy; mitifitra azy tampoka izy ka tsy matahotra.

5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,

Hamafiny ny hevi-dratsiny; mifampitaona hanao fandri-totofana izy ka manao hoe: iza no hahita izany?

6 because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!

Manao saim-petsy izy; omaniny tsara ny sain-dalina voaheviny; lalina ny ao anatin’ ny olombelona, dia ny fony.

7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

Mitifitra azy Andriamanitra; tampoka toy ny fiantefan’ ny zana-tsipìka no fahavoazany.

8 Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].

Apotrany izy ka voasingotra ny lelany ihany; mandositra izay rehetra mahita azy.

9 And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.

Dia matahotra ny olona rehetra ka manambara ny ataon’ Andriamanitra sady mandinika tsara ny asany.

10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.

Mifaly amin’ i Jehovah ny marina ka mialoka aminy; eny, mifaly tena ny mahitsy fo rehetra.
