Salamo 9

1 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.

For the leader;’almuth labben. A psalm of David. With all my heart I will praise the Lord, all your wonders I will rehearse.

2 Ho faly sy ho ravoravo aminao aho; hankalaza ny anaranao aho ry Avo Indrindra ô,

I will rejoice and exult in you, singing praise to your name, Most High;

3 Satria lasa nihodina ny fahavaloko, nirepirepy izy ka ringana tsy ho eo anatrehanao.

because backward my foes were turned, they stumbled and perished before you.

4 Fa efa nitsara ahy Hianao ka nanome ahy ny rariny; mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fitsaranao Hianao ho Mpitsara marina.

My right and my claim you have upheld, you did sit on the throne as a fair judge,

5 Efa nanarinao mafy ny jentilisa, efa naringanao ny ratsy fanahy, ny anarany efa nokosehinao ho faty mandrakizay doria.

rebuking the nations, destroying the wicked, and blotting their name out forever and ever.

6 Ny amin’ ny fahavalo, dia tanteraka ho mandrakizay ny fandravàna azy; ary izay tanàna efa noravanao, dia very na dia ny fahatsiarovana azy aza.

The foe is vanished, ruined forever, their cities destroyed, their memory perished.

7 Kanefa Jehovah mitoetra mandrakizay, efa nametraka ny sezany hitsarany Izy,

See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment,

8 Ary Izy hitsara izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana, eny hitsara ny firenena amin’ ny fahitsiana Izy.

ruling the world with justice, and judging the nations with equity.

9 Ka dia Jehovah no ho fiarovana avo ho an’ ny mahantra, ho fiarovana avo amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.

So the Lord proves a haven to the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.

10 Ary hatoky Anao izay mahalala ny anaranao; fa tsy foinao izay mitady Anao, Jehovah ô.

Well may they trust you who know your name, for those who seek you, you never abandon.

11 Mankalazà an’ i Jehovah, Izay mitoetra any Ziona; ambarao any amin’ ny firenena ny asany.

Sing praise to the Lord, whose home is in Zion, declare his deeds among the nations.

12 Fa izay manadin-drà dia mahatsiaro ny ory; tsy manadino ny fitarainany Izy.

As avenger of blood, he keeps them in mind, he does not forget the cry of the wretched.

13 Mamindrà fo amiko, Jehovah ô; mitsinjova ny fahoriako avy amin’ izay mankahala ahy, Ry Mpanandratra ahy ho afaka amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fahafatesana,

Show me favour, Lord, see how my foes afflict me, lift me up from the gates of death;

14 Mba holazaiko avokoa ny fideràna Anao rehetra; eo am-bavahadin’ i Ziona zanakavavy no hifaliako amin’ ny famonjenao.

so I may, in your help exulting, tell forth your praise at the gates of Zion.

15 Ny jentilisa efa latsaka tamin’ ny lavaka izay nohadiny, ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny efa nahazo ny tongony,

The nations are sunk in the pit which they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot is entangled.

16 Jehovah efa nanao izay mampiseho ny tenany ho Mpitsara; namandrika ny ratsy fanahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tànany Izy.

The Lord is revealed in the judgment he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. (Selah)

17 Hiverina ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny ratsy fanahy, dia ny jentilisa rehetra izay manadino an’ Andriamanitra. (Sheol h7585)

Let the wicked depart to Sheol, all the nations that live forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)

18 Fa tsy ho mandrakizay no hanadinoana ny malahelo; ary tsy ho very mandrakizay ny fanantenan’ ny mahantra.

For the needy will not be always forgotten, nor the hope of the helpless be lost forever.

19 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, aoka tsy hahery ny olona; aoka hotsaraina eo anatrehanao ny jentilisa.

Arise, Lord; don’t let them triumph: before your face let the nations be judged.

20 Asio fampahatahorana izy, Jehovah ô; aoka ho fantatry ny jentilisa fa olona ihany izy. (Sela)

Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. (Selah)
