Salamo 41
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Sambatra izay mahatsiaro ny malahelo; Jehovah hamonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana.
For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.
2 Jehovah hitandrina sy hiaro azy tsy ho faty; hatao ho sambatra ambonin’ ny tany izy, ary tsy mba hatolotrao amin’ ny sitrapon’ ny fahavalony.
He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.
3 Jehovah hanohana azy eo ambonin’ ny farafara hitsaboana azy. Ny fandriany rehetra eo am-paharariany dia hovanao.
The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.
4 Hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko; sitrano ny fanahiko, fa efa nanota taminao aho.
For this cause I say, “Lord, show me your favor; heal me, because I have sinned against you.”
5 Ny fahavaloko maniry ahy ho simba ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho faty izy, ka ho very ny anarany?
My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”
6 Ary raha avy mamangy, izy dia miteny zava-poana; ny fony mamory faharatsiana ho an’ ny tenany; mivoaka eny ivelany izy ka milazalaza.
When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.
7 Mitakoritsika ahy izay rehetra mankahala ahy; misaina hanisy ratsy ahy izy.
In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.
8 Tena zava-dratsy, hoy izy, no aidina aminy; ary raha mandry izy dia tsy hitsangana intsony.
“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.”
9 Eny, ny sakaizako, izay maha-toky ahy sady nihinana ny haniko, no nanangana ny ombelahin-tongony hamely ahy.
My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.
10 Fa ianao kosa Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka atsangano aho mba hamaliako azy.
But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.
11 Izao no hahafantarako fa mankasitraka ahy Hianao, dia ny tsy anakoran’ ny fahavaloko ahy.
By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.
12 Ary ny amiko, dia manohana ahy amin’ ny fahitsiako Hianao, ka mampitoetra ahy eo anatrehanao mandrakizay.
For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.
13 Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin’ ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen.
