Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira, Almoth-laben. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Hidera an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny foko rehetra aho; hanambara ny fahagaganao rehetra aho.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao aho; hankalaza ny anaranao aho ry Avo Indrindra ô,
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Satria lasa nihodina ny fahavaloko, nirepirepy izy ka ringana tsy ho eo anatrehanao.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Fa efa nitsara ahy Hianao ka nanome ahy ny rariny; mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fitsaranao Hianao ho Mpitsara marina.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Ny amin’ ny fahavalo, dia tanteraka ho mandrakizay ny fandravàna azy; ary izay tanàna efa noravanao, dia very na dia ny fahatsiarovana azy aza.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Ary hatoky Anao izay mahalala ny anaranao; fa tsy foinao izay mitady Anao, Jehovah ô.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Mamindrà fo amiko, Jehovah ô; mitsinjova ny fahoriako avy amin’ izay mankahala ahy, Ry Mpanandratra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fahafatesana,
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
Mba holazaiko avokoa ny fideràna Anao rehetra; eo am-bavahadin’ i Ziona zanakavavy no hifaliako amin’ ny famonjenao.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Ny jentilisa efa latsaka tamin’ ny lavaka izay nohadiny, ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny efa nahazo ny tongony,
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Hiverina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny ratsy fanahy, dia ny jentilisa rehetra izay manadino an’ Andriamanitra. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Fa tsy ho mandrakizay no hanadinoana ny malahelo; ary tsy ho very mandrakizay ny fanantenan’ ny mahantra.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, aoka tsy hahery ny olona; aoka hotsaraina eo anatrehanao ny jentilisa.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)
