Salamo 31
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah ô, Hianao no ialofako; aoka tsy ho menatra akory mandrakizay aho; vonjeo amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho.
For the leader. A psalm of David. In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. Rescue me in your faithfulness;
2 Atongilano amiko ny sofinao, faingàna hamonjy ahy; aoka ho vatolampiko fiarovana mafy Hianao sy batery fiarovana hamonjena ahy.
incline to me your ear. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me.
3 Fa harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy Hianao; ary noho ny anaranao no hitondrànao sy hitarihanao ahy.
For my rock and my fortress are you; lead me and guide me so your name will be honored.
4 Hanafaka ahy amin’ ny fandrika harato izay nafeniny hamandrihany ahy Hianao; fa Hianao no fiarovana mafy ho ahy.
Draw me out of the net they have hid for me, for you yourself are my refuge.
5 Eo an-tananao no atolotro ny fanahiko; fa efa nanavotra ahy Hianao, Jehovah ô, Andriamanitry ny fahamarinana.
Into your hand I commend my spirit: you ransom me, Lord, faithful God.
6 Halako izay mivavaka amin’ ny sampy; fa Jehovah kosa no itokiako.
I hate those devoted to worthless idols; I trust in the Lord.
7 Hifaly sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famindram-ponao aho; fa nahita ny fahantrako Hianao, ka nahafantatra ny fahorian’ ny fanahiko,
I will rejoice and be glad in your love, because you have looked on my misery, and cared for me in my distress.
8 ary tsy mba nangeja ahy teo an-tànan’ ny fahavalo; fa efa nampitoetra ny tongotro eo amin’ ny malalaka Hianao.
You have not given me into the enemy’s hand, you have set my feet in a spacious place.
9 Mamindrà fo amiko, Jehovah ô, fa azom-pahoriana aho; simban’ alahelo ny masoko sy ny fanahiko ary ny tenako.
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am distressed; my eye is wasted away with sorrow.
10 Fa lanin’ alahelo ny aiko, sady lanim-pisentoana ny taonako; Tsy manan-kery aho noho ny heloko, ary efa lany ny taolako.
For my life is consumed with grief, and my years with sighing. My strength is broken with misery, my bones waste away.
11 Noho ny ataon’ ny fahavaloko rehetra dia efa tonga fandatsa aho, eny, na dia amin’ ny namako aza, sady atahoran’ ny olom-pantatro aho; izay mahita ahy eny ivelany mandositra ahy.
The scorn of all my foes, the butt of my neighbors am I, a terror to my acquaintance. At the sight of me in the street people turn quickly away.
12 Efa hadino tahaka ny olona maty izay tsy tsaroana intsony aho; tahaka ny vilany ariana aho.
I am clean forgotten like the dead, am become like a ruined vessel.
13 Fa mandre ny endrikendriky ny maro aho; misy fampangorohoroana manodidina, raha miara-mioko hamely ahy izy, ka miray tetika hahafaty ny aiko.
I hear the whispers of many – terror on every side – scheming together against me, plotting to take my life.
14 Nefa izaho matoky Anao, Jehovah ô; hoy izaho: Andriamanitro Hianao.
But my trust is in you, Lord. “You are my God,” I say;
15 Eo an-tananao ny androko; Vonjeo aho tsy ho azon’ ny tanan’ ny fahavaloko sy izay manenjika ahy.
my times are in your hand, save me from the hand of the foes who pursue me.
16 Ampamirapirato amin’ ny mpanomponao ny tavanao; vonjeo amin’ ny famindram-ponao aho.
Make your face to shine on your servant, save me in your love.
17 Aoka tsy ho menatra aho, Jehovah ô, satria miantso Anao; fa aoka kosa ho menatra ny ratsy fanahy ka hangina any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
Put me not, O Lord, to shame, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Aoka hangina ny molotra mandainga, izay miteny sahisahy hanohitra ny marina, amin’ ny avonavona sy ny fanamavoana.
Strike the false lips dumb, that speak proudly against the righteous with haughtiness and contempt.
19 Akory re ny haben’ ny zava-tsoanao voarakitrao ho an’ ny matahotra Anao! dia izay nataonao teo anatrehan’ ny zanak’ olombelona ho an’ izay mialoka aminao!
How great is the goodness you have treasured for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in plain sight of all!
20 Hanafina azy ao amin’ ny fiafenana eo anatrehanao Hianao, mba tsy ho tratry ny teti-dratsy ataon’ ny olona izy; hampiery azy ao an-tranonao Hianao, mba tsy ho azon’ ny lela mifanditra izy.
In your sheltering wings you hide them from plottings of people, you keep them safe in a bower from the chiding of tongues.
21 Isaorana anie Jehovah; fa nataony mahagaga ny famindram-pony tamiko tao an-tanàna mimanda.
Blest be the Lord for the wonderful love he has shown me in time of distress.
22 Fa hoy izaho tamin’ ny fahatairako; voafongotra tsy ho eo imasonao aho; kanjo nihaino ny feon’ ny fifonako ihany Hianao, raha nitaraina taminao aho.
For I had said in panic, “I am driven clean out of your sight.” But you heard my plea, when I cried to you for help.
23 Tiava an’ i Jehovah, ry olony masìna rehetra; miaro ny marina Jehovah, ary mamaly dia mamaly ny mpiavonavona Izy.
Love the Lord, all you faithful; the Lord protects the loyal, but repays the haughty in full.
24 Mahereza, ary aoka hatanjaka ny fonareo, dia ianareo rehetra izay manantena an’ i Jehovah.
Let your hearts be courageous and strong, all you who wait on the Lord.
