Psalms 35
1 Of David. O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.
Nataon’ i Davida.
2 Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.
Raiso ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe ka mitsangàna hamonjy ahy.
3 Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to 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 them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.
Aoka ho menatra sy ho afa-baraka izay mitady ny aiko; aoka hiamboho sy hangaihay izay misaina hanisy ratsy ahy.
5 Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.
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 full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.
Aoka ho maizina sy malama ny lalany, ary aoka ny Anjelin’ i Jehovah hanenjika azy.
7 For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take 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 them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same 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 And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.
Fa ny fanahiko kosa hifaly amin’ i Jehovah sy ho ravoravo amin’ ny famonjeny.
10 All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.
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 False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.
Mitsangana ny vavolombelona mampidi-doza; ka izay tsy fantatro no anadinany ahy.
12 They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.
Mamaly ratsy ahy ho solon’ ny soa izy, ka mamoy malala ny fanahiko.
13 But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.
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 My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother: I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead.
Toy ny nisy nanjo ny sakaizako na ny rahalahiko no nandehanako; nitanondrika tamin’ alahelo toy ny fisaona reny aho.
15 But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.
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 men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.
Naman’ ny olon-dratsy manendrikendrika ho enti-mila sitraka izy ka nihidy vazana tamiko.
17 Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my 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 praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.
Hisaotra Anao eo amin’ ny fiangonana lehibe aho; hidera Anao eo afovoan’ ny olona maro aho.
19 Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.
Aoka tsy hifalian’ izay mandrafy ahy foana aho; ary aoka tsy hami-maso izay mankahala ahy tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana.
20 For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.
Fa tsy fihavanana no lazainy; fa mamorom-pitaka izy hamelezany izay mibonaika ambonin’ ny tany.
21 Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.
Dia mitanatana vava amiko izy ka manao hoe: Hià! sakoa izay! efa hita’ ny masonay.
22 You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
Efa hitanao, Jehovah ô, ka aza manentsin-tadiny; ry Tompo ô, aza manalavitra ahy.
23 Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.
Mahatsiarova, ka mifohaza ho amin’ ny fitsaràna ahy, O Andriamanitro sy Tompoko! mifohaza ho amin’ ny adiko.
24 Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.
Tsarao aho, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, araka ny fahamarinanao; ary aoka tsy hifalian’ ireo aho.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.
Aoka tsy hanao anakampo hoe izy: Hià! faly izahay! aoka tsy hanao hoe izy: efa natelinay izy.
26 Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.
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 are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace 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 And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.
Ary ny lelako hilaza ny fahamarinanao; ny fiderana Anao no hataoko mandrakariva.
