< Salamo 10 >

1 Jehovah ô, nahoana no mijanona eny lavitra eny Hianao ka miery amin’ ny andro fahoriana?
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 Noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy dia enjehina mafy ny malahelo; azon’ ny fahendrena nataony izy ireny.
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3 Ny ratsy fanahy mandoka izay irin’ ny fony; ary ny mpierina mahafoy sy manamavo an’ i Jehovah.
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 Ny ratsy fanahy mirehareha hoe: Tsy hanadina Izy; eny, “Tsy misy Andriamanitra” no tontalin-keviny.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes 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?
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6 Hoy izy am-pony: tsy hangozohozo aho, tsy ho azon-doza mandrakizay doria aho.
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
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, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8 Mamitsaka amin’ ny fanotrehana ao an-tanàna izy, ao an-katakonana no amonoany ny marina; ny masony mikendry ny mahantra.
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for 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 lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10 Torotoro sy mitanondrika ny mahantra ka lavo amin’ ny herin’ ny ratsy fanahy.
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11 Hoy izy anakampony: efa nanadino Andriamanitra, efa nanafina ny tavany Izy ka tsy hahita mandrakizay.
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
12 Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô; Andriamanitra ô, atsangano ny tananao, aza manadino ny ory.
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
13 Nahoana no mamingavinga an’ Andriamanitra ny ratsy fanahy ka manao anakampo hoe: Tsy hanadina Hianao?
Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14 Efa nahita ihany Hianao, satria mijery fahoriana sy alahelo, mba hovalian’ ny tananao. Hianao no iononan’ ny mahantra; Hianao no Mpamonjy ny kamboty.
But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are 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 the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
16 Jehovah no Mpanjaka mandrakizay doria; voafongotra tsy ho amin’ ny taniny intsony ny jentilisa.
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
17 Efa nohenoinao, Jehovah ô, ny irin’ ny mpandefitra; mampiomana ny fony Hianao sady mampihaino ny sofinao,
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
18 Hanomezanao rariny ny kamboty sy ny mahantra, mba tsy handroso hampitahotra intsony ny zanak’ olombelona etỳ an-tany.
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
