Psalms 88
1 Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.
Tonon-kira. Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Almahalath-leanoth. Maskila nataon’ i Hemana Ezrahita. Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy, Andro aman’ alina no itarainako eo anatrehanao;
2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!
Aoka ny fivavako ho tonga eo anatrehanao; Atongilano amin’ ny fitarainako ny sofinao;
3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Fa diboka ny fahoriana ny fanahiko; Ary ny aiko manakaiky ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.
Natao ho isan’ izay midìna any an-davaka aho Ary efa tahaka izay tsy manan-kery;
5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.
Efa nafoy ho any amin’ ny maty aho, Tahaka izay voavono, mandry ao am-pasana, Izay tsy tsarovanao intsony, Fa voafongotry ny tananao.
6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
Efa nametraka ahy any an-davaka ambany indrindra Hianao, Ao amin’ ny maizina, dia ao amin’ ny lalina.
7 [It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].
Ny fahatezeranao manindry ahy mafy, Ary ny alon-dranonao rehetra azeranao amiko. (Sela)
8 You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.
Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona nahazatra ahy; Efa nataonao fahavetavetana eo imasony aho; Voahidy aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka.
9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].
Ny masoko efa pahina noho ny fahoriana; Jehovah ô, miantso Anao isan’ andro aho, Mamefy tanana aminao aho.
10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!
Haneho fahagagana amin’ ny maty va Hianao? Ny matoatoa va no hitsangana hidera Anao?
11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].
Hotorina any am-pasana va ny famindram-ponao, Ary ny fahamarinanao any amin’ ny fandringanana?
12 No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
Ho fantatra ao amin’ ny maizina va ny fahagagana ataonao, Ary ny fahamarinanao ao amin’ ny tany fanadinoana?
13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.
Fa raha izaho, dia Hianao no itarainako, Jehovah ô; Ary ny fivavako tonga eo anatrehanao nony maraina.
14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?
Jehovah ô, nahoana no manary ny fanahiko Hianao Ka manafina ny tavanao amiko?
15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
Ory aho ka efa ho faty hatramin’ ny fahazazako; Raha itambesa-ran’ ny fampitahoranao aho, dia very hevitra;
16 [I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
Manafotra ahy ny fahatezeranao; Matin’ ny fampitahoranao aho;
17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.
Mandifotra ahy mandrakariva tahaka ny rano ireny; Miara-manodidina ahy izy.
18 You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.
Efa nampanalavirinao ahy ny olona tia ahy sy ny sakaizako; Ireo nahazatra ahy dia fahamaizinana.
