Psalms 35
1 By David. Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
Nataon’ i Davida.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Raiso ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe ka mitsangàna hamonjy ahy.
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Ary raiso ny lefona, ka sakano izay manenjika ahy; lazao amin’ ny fanahiko hoe: Famonjena anao Aho.
4 Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonour. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Aoka ho menatra sy ho afa-baraka izay mitady ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy hangaihay izay misaina hanisy ratsy ahy.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on.
Aoka ho tahaka ny akofa eo alohan’ ny rivotra izy. Ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah handroaka azy.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the LORD’s angel pursuing them.
Aoka ho maizina sy malama ny lalany, ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah hanenjika azy.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
Fa tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana no nanaovany fandri-totofana hahazoany ahy; tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana no nandavahany hamandrihany ny aiko.
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
Aoka ny fandringanana ho tonga tampoka aminy; ary aoka hahazo azy ny fandrika harato nafeniny, ka ho latsaka ao amin’ izany fandringanana izany indrindra izy.
9 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Fa ny fanahiko kosa hifaly amin’ i Jehovah sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny.
10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
Ny taolako rehetra hanao hoe: Jehovah ô, iza no tahaka Anao, Izay manafaka ny ory amin’ izay tsy tohany, eny, ny ory sy ny malahelo amin’ izay mamabo azy?
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.
Mitsangana ny vavolombelona mampidi-doza; ka izay tsy fantatro no anadinany ahy.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
Mamaly ratsy ahy ho solon’ ny soa izy, ka mamoy malala ny fanahiko.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
Ary ny amiko, raha narary izy ireo, dia lamba fisaonana no nitafiako; nampahory ny tenako tamin’ ny ny fifadian-kanina aho; ary ny fivavako nody tao an-tratrako.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
Toy ny nisy nanjo ny sakaizako na ny rahalahiko no nandehanako; nitanondrika tamin’ alahelo toy ny fisaona reny aho.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
Nefa nony ho lavo kosa aho, dia faly izy ireo ka niangona; olona faraidina no nitangorona hamely ahy, nefa tsy fantatro; namiravira izy ka tsy mba nitsahatra;
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Naman’ ny olon-dratsy manendrikendrika ho enti-mila sitraka izy ka nihidy vazana tamiko.
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
Ry Tompo ô, mandra-pahoviana no hijerenao? Avereno ny fanahiko ho afaka amin’ ny fandringanany, ny hany malalako ho afaka amin’ ny liona tanora.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you amongst many people.
Hisaotra Anao eo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; hidera Anao eo afovoan’ ny olona maro aho.
19 Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
Aoka tsy hifalian’ izay mandrafy ahy foana aho; ary aoka tsy hami-maso izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana.
20 For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Fa tsy fihavanana no lazainy; fa mamorom-pitaka izy hamelezany izay mibonaika ambonin’ ny tany.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
Dia mitanatana vava amiko izy ka manao hoe: Hià! sakoa izay! efa hita’ ny masonay.
22 You have seen it, LORD. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.
Efa hitanao, Jehovah ô, ka aza manentsin-tadiny; ry Tompo ô, aza manalavitra ahy.
23 Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
Mahatsiarova, ka mifohaza ho amin’ ny fitsaràna ahy, O Andriamanitro sy Tompoko! mifohaza ho amin’ ny adiko.
24 Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.
Tsarao aho, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, araka ny fahamarinanao; ary aoka tsy hifalian’ ireo aho.
25 Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
Aoka tsy hanao anakampo hoe izy: Hià! faly izahay! aoka tsy hanao hoe izy: efa natelinay izy.
26 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonour who magnify themselves against me.
Aoka ho menatra sy hangaihay avokoa izay mifaly amin’ ny manjo ahy; aoka hitafy henatra sy fahafaham-baraka izay mirehareha amiko.
27 Let those who favour my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
Aoka hihoby sy hifaly izay mankasitraka ny fahamarinako; ary aoka izy hanao mandrakariva hoe: hankalazaina anie Jehovah, Izay mankasitraka ny fiadanan’ ny mpanompony.
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
Ary ny lelako hilaza ny fahamarinanao; ny fiderana Anao no hataoko mandrakariva.
