Salamo 20

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Hihaino anao anie Jehovah amin’ ny andro fahoriana; hitondra anao ho any amin’ ny avo anie ny anaran’ Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.

For the leader. A psalm of David. The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the Jacob’s God protect you,

2 Hahatonga famonjena ho anao avy amin’ ny fitoerana masìna anie Izy, ary hanohana anao avy any Ziona.

sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.

3 Hahatsiaro ny fanatitra hohaninao rehetra anie Izy, ary hankasitraka ny fanatitra doranao. (Sela)

All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favor. (Selah)

4 Hanome anao araka ny fonao anie Izy ary hahatanteraka ny fisainanao rehetra.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.

5 Aoka hihoby noho ny famonjena azonao izahay, ary amin’ ny anaran’ Andriamanitray no hanangananay faneva; ho tanterahin’ i Jehovah anie ny angatahinao rehetra.

We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request.

6 Ankehitriny dia fantatro fa Jehovah mamonjy ny voahosony; hamaly azy avy amin’ ny lanitry ny fahamasinany Izy amin’ ny herin’ ny famonjen’ ny tànany ankavanana.

Now I am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand.

7 Ny sasany mitoky amin’ ny kalesy, ary ny sasany amin’ ny soavaly; Fa raha izahay kosa, dia ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray no hoderainay.

Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.

8 Ireo dia reraka sady lavo; fa izahay kosa efa mitsangana sy mijoro,

They will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.

9 Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny mpanjaka; hamaly anay anie Izy amin’ izay andro iantsoanay Azy.

Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.
