Salamo 10
1 Jehovah ô, nahoana no mijanona eny lavitra eny Hianao ka miery amin’ ny andro fahoriana?
Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 Noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy dia enjehina mafy ny malahelo; azon’ ny fahendrena nataony izy ireny.
In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
3 Ny ratsy fanahy mandoka izay irin’ ny fony; ary ny mpierina mahafoy sy manamavo an’ i Jehovah.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, And the covetous renounceth, [yea], contemneth Jehovah.
4 Ny ratsy fanahy mirehareha hoe: Tsy hanadina Izy; eny, “Tsy misy Andriamanitra” no tontalin-keviny.
The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
5 Tanteraka mandrakariva ny alehany; any amin’ ny avo lavitra azy ny fitsarànao; ny mpandrafy azy rehetra dia ataony hoe: zinona ireny?
His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
6 Hoy izy am-pony: tsy hangozohozo aho, tsy ho azon-doza mandrakizay doria aho.
He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
7 Feno ozona sy fitaka ary fanaovana an-keriny ny vavany; ao ambanin’ ny lelany dia misy fampahoriana sy faharatsiana.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 Mamitsaka amin’ ny fanotrehana ao an-tanàna izy, ao an-katakonana no amonoany ny marina; ny masony mikendry ny mahantra.
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.
9 Manotrika ao an-katakonana tahaka ny liona ao amin’ ny famitsahany izy; manotrika hisambotra ny malahelo izy; fandrihany amin’ ny haratony no fisambony ny malahelo.
He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
10 Torotoro sy mitanondrika ny mahantra ka lavo amin’ ny herin’ ny ratsy fanahy.
He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.
11 Hoy izy anakampony: efa nanadino Andriamanitra, efa nanafina ny tavany Izy ka tsy hahita mandrakizay.
He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten; He hideth his face, he will never see it.
12 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô; Andriamanitra ô, atsangano ny tananao, aza manadino ny ory.
Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.
13 Nahoana no mamingavinga an’ Andriamanitra ny ratsy fanahy ka manao anakampo hoe: Tsy hanadina Hianao?
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]?
14 Efa nahita ihany Hianao, satria mijery fahoriana sy alahelo, mba hovalian’ ny tananao. Hianao no iononan’ ny mahantra; Hianao no Mpamonjy ny kamboty.
Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth [himself] unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
15 Torotoroy ny sandrin’ ny ratsy fanahy; ary adino ny heloky ny mpanao ratsy mandra-paha-tsy hisy hitanao intsony.
Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16 Jehovah no Mpanjaka mandrakizay doria; voafongotra tsy ho amin’ ny taniny intsony ny jentilisa.
Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.
17 Efa nohenoinao, Jehovah ô, ny irin’ ny mpandefitra; mampiomana ny fony Hianao sady mampihaino ny sofinao,
Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;
18 Hanomezanao rariny ny kamboty sy ny mahantra, mba tsy handroso hampitahotra intsony ny zanak’ olombelona etỳ an-tany.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
