2 Samoela 22
1 Ary Davida nanao izao fihirana izao ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tànan’ i Saoly,
And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 ka hoy izy: Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy,
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 Andriamanitra vatolampiko, Izy no ialofako, Ampingako sy tandroko famonjena Izy ary fiarovana avo ho ahy sy fandosirako; Ry Mpamonjy ahy, mahafaka ahy amin’ ny fampahoriana Hianao.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; you save me from violence.
4 Miantso an’ i Jehovah Izay mendrika hoderaina aho, Ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 Fa nihodidina tamiko ny onjan’ ny fahafatesana. Ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko, nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; (Sheol h7585)
7 Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako dia efa tonga eo an-tsofiny.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fiorenan’ ny lanitra nihorohoro, eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.
9 Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; Ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina, eny, niseho teo amin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 Efa nanao ny maizina ho tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia fivorian-drano sy rahona matevina
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Ary avy teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany nisy vainafo nidedadeda.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 Dia nandefa zana-tsipìka Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko, ary nampandeha helatra ka nampifanaritaka azy.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and humiliated them.
16 Dia hita ny fitoeran-dranomasina, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany, noho ny teny mafy nataon’ i Jehovah, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavorony.
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 Naninjitra ny tànany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy.
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; Araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nialako;
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovako teo imasony.
Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; Ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; Ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself unpleasing.
28 Fa ny olona ory dia vonjenao; Fa ny masonao manandrina ny mpiavonavona, ka aetrinao ireny.
And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 Fa Hianao no jiroko, Jehovah ô; Jehovah mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; Ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; Ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? Ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 Izany Andriamanitra izany no fiarovana mafy ho ahy; Mitondra ny marina amin’ ny lalany Izy.
God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34 Ary manao ny tongony ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy; Mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo Izy.
He makes my feet like hinds' feet: and sets me upon my high places.
35 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; Ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mandripaka azy; Ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalany ritrany.
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 Mandringana sy mandripaka azy aho, ka tsy maharina izy; Lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; Aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; Ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
You have also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Miherikerika izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, eny, maniry an’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovo-tany izy; Hoseko tahaka ny fotaka eny an-dalana izy ka apariako.
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny oloko Hianao sy miaro ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy; Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy.
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; Asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny vatolampy famonjena ahy,
The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy,
It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 Dia Ilay mitondra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe;
And that brings me forth from mine enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50 Koa Izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51 Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
