Salamo 129

1

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

2 Beteke niforeforèñe sikal’amy te zaho niajalahy, f’ie tsy nahagioke ahy.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 Nitrabahe’ o mpitrabakeo ty sakamamovoko, nanoe’ iareo lava o vavahalioo.

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 Vantañe t’Iehovà; navitso’e ty namahora’ o lo-tserekeo ahy.

Yhwh is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Hampolieñe an-kasalarañe ze malaiñe i Tsiône.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Ie hampanahafeñe ami’ty ahetse an-tafo traño eo, hiheatse aolo’ ty hibeiza’e,

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 toe tsy hahaeneñe ty fità’ i mpanatakey, ndra ty araña’ i mpifehe’ o fehe’eo.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 Vaho tsy anoe’ o mpandrioñeo ty hoe: Ho ama’ areo ty fañanintsi’ Iehovà! Itatà’ay ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà!

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of Yhwh be upon you: we bless you in the name of Yhwh.
