Salamo 18
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, izay nilaza tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ity fihirana ity tamin’ ny andro namonjen’ i Jehovah azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra, indrindra fa tamin’ ny tanan’ i Saoly; dia hoy izy: ―
Unto the end. For David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke the words of this canticle to the Lord, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I will love you, O Lord my strength.
2 Jehovah no harambatoko sy batery fiarovana ho ahy ary Mpamonjy ahy; Andriamanitro, vatolampy ialofako, sy ampingako ary tandroka famonjena ahy sy fiarovana avo ho ahy.
The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my liberator. My God is my helper, and I hope in him: my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
3 Miantso an’ i Jehovah izay mendrika hoderaina aho, ka dia vonjena ho afaka amin’ ny fahavaloko.
Praising, I will call upon the Lord. And I will be saved from my enemies.
4 Nihodidina tamiko ny famatoram-pahafatesana, ary ny riaky ny faharatsiana nampahatahotra ahy.
The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the torrents of iniquity dismayed me.
5 Ny famatoran’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita nihodidina tamiko; nisakana ahy ny fandriky ny fahafatesana. (Sheol h7585)
The sorrows of Hell encompassed me, and the snares of death intercepted me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Fony azom-pahoriana aho, dia niantso an’ i Jehovah, eny, Andriamanitro no nitarainako; nihaino ny feoko tao an-tempoliny Izy, ary ny fitarainako teo anatrehany dia efa tonga teo an-tsofiny.
In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord, and I cried out to my God. And he listened to my voice from his holy temple. And my cry in his presence entered into his ears.
7 Dia nihozongozona sy nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra nihorohoro; eny, nihozongozona ireo, satria tezitra Jehovah.
The earth was shaken, and it trembled. The foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and they were shaken, because he was angry with them.
8 Nisy setroka nisavoana teo am-bavorony, ary afo avy teo am-bavany no nandevona ka nisy vainafo nidedadeda teo aminy.
A smoke ascended by his wrath, and a fire flared up from his face: coals were kindled by it.
9 Dia naondriny ny lanitra, ka nidina Izy; ary aizim-pito no teo ambanin’ ny tongony.
He bent the heavens, and they descended. And darkness was under his feet.
10 Dia nitaingina kerobima Izy ka nanidina; eny, nanidina faingana tamin’ ny ela-drivotra Izy.
And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew: he flew upon the feathers of the winds.
11 Efa nanao ny maizina ho fiereny sy tranony manodidina Azy Izy, dia rahona ngalingaly rahona matevina.
And he set darkness as his hiding place, with his tabernacle all around him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
12 Ary teo amin’ ny famirapiratana teo anatrehany dia nandalo ny rahony matevina havandra sy vainafo.
At the brightness that was before his sight, the clouds crossed by, with hail and coals of fire.
13 Dia nampikotroka tany an-danitra Jehovah, ny Avo Indrindra niloa-peo. Havandra sy vainafo.
And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14 Dia nandefa ny zana-tsipìkany Izy ka nampiely ny fahavaloko. Ary nampandeha helatra be ka nampifanaritaka azy.
And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them. He multiplied lightnings, and he set them in disarray.
15 Dia hita ny mason-drano, ary niseho ny fanambanin’ ny tany noho ny teny mafy nataonao, Jehovah ô, noho ny fifofofofon’ ny fofonain’ ny vavoronao.
Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were revealed, by your rebuke, O Lord, by the inspiration of the Spirit of your wrath.
16 Naninjitra ny tanany avy tany ambony Izy ka nandray ahy; nanintona ahy niala tamin’ ny rano be Izy;
He sent from on high, and he accepted me. And he took me up, out of many waters.
17 Namonjy ahy tamin’ ny fahavaloko mahery Izy sy tamin’ izay nankahala ahy, satria tsy leoko ireny
He rescued me from my strongest enemies, and from those who hated me. For they had been too strong for me.
18 Nisakana ahy tamin’ ny andro nahitako loza ireny, nefa Jehovah no niseho ho Mpanohana ahy.
They intercepted me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my protector.
19 Dia nitondra ahy ho any amin’ ny malalaka Izy; namonjy ahy Izy, satria tiany aho.
And he led me out, into a wide place. He accomplished my salvation, because he willed me.
20 Nanisy soa ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah; araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no namaliany ahy.
And the Lord will reward me according to my justice, and he will repay me according to the purity of my hands.
21 Fa nitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah aho, ka tsy mba nanao ratsy hialana tamin’ Andriamanitro;
For I have preserved the ways of the Lord, and I have not behaved impiously before my God.
22 Ny fitsipiny rehetra dia teo anatrehako, ary ny lalàny tsy mba nampialaiko tamiko;
For all his judgments are in my sight, and his justice, I have not pushed away from me.
23 Tsy nanan-tsiny taminy aho sady niaro tena tsy ho azon’ ny fahotako;
And I will be immaculate together with him, and I will keep myself from my iniquity.
24 Koa namaly ahy araka ny fahamarinako Jehovah, dia araka ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako teo imasony.
And the Lord will reward me according to my justice and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
25 Ny olona tsara no isehoanao fa tsara; ny tena olo-marina no isehoanao fa marina;
With the holy, you will be holy, and with the innocent, you will be innocent,
26 Ny madio no isehoanao fa madio; ary ny mpiolakolaka kosa no isehoanao fa lalin-tsaina.
and with the elect, you will be elect, and with the perverse, you will be perverse.
27 Fa Hianao mamonjy ny olona ory; ary ny maso miandranandrana kosa aetrinao.
For you will save the humble people, but you will bring down the eyes of the arrogant.
28 Fa Hianao mampirehitra ny jiroko; Jehovah Andriamanitro no mampahazava ny fahamaizinako.
For you illuminate my lamp, O Lord. My God, enlighten my darkness.
29 Fa Hianao no ahazoako mitsarapaka hamely ny miaramila iray toko; ary Andriamanitro no ahazoako mitsambikina mihoatra ny manda.
For in you, I will be delivered from temptation; and with my God, I will climb over a wall.
30 Raha ny amin’ Andriamanitra, dia marina ny lalany; ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia voazaha toetra amin’ ny memy; Jehovah no ampingan’ izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
As for my God, his way is undefiled. The eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire. He is the protector of all who hope in him.
31 Fa iza no Andriamanitra afa-tsy Jehovah? ary iza no vatolampy afa-tsy Andriamanitsika?
For who is God, except the Lord? And who is God, except our God?
32 Izany Andriamanitra izany no mampisikina hery ahy sy manamarina ny alehako.
It is God who has wrapped me with virtue and made my way immaculate.
33 Manao ny tongotro ho tahaka ny an’ ny dieravavy Izy ka mampitoetra ahy eo amin’ ny fitoerako avo.
It is he who has perfected my feet, like the feet of deer, and who stations me upon the heights.
34 Mampianatra ny tanako hiady Izy, ka mahahenjana tsipìka varahina ny sandriko.
It is he who trains my hands for battle. And you have set my arms like a bow of brass.
35 Omenao ahy ny ampingan’ ny famonjenao; ny tananao ankavanana no manohana ahy, ary ny fahamoram-panahinao no mahalehibe ahy.
And you have given me the protection of your salvation. And your right hand sustains me. And your discipline has corrected me unto the end. And your discipline itself will teach me.
36 Halalahinao ny lalana hodiaviko, ka tsy mangovitra ny hato-tongotro.
You have expanded my footsteps under me, and my tracks have not been weakened.
37 Manenjika ny fahavaloko aho ka mahatratra azy; ary tsy mba miverina aho mandra-pahalàny ritrany.
I will pursue my enemies and apprehend them. And I will not turn back until they have failed.
38 Mamely mafy azy aho, ka tsy mahaleo izy; lavo eo ambanin’ ny tongotro izy.
I will break them, and they will not be able to stand. They will fall under my feet.
39 Hianao mampisikina ahy hery hiady; aripakao ho ambaniko izay mitsangana hamely ahy.
And you have wrapped me with virtue for the battle. And those rising up against me, you have subdued under me.
40 Ary ataonao miamboho ahy ny fahavaloko; ka aringako izay mankahala ahy.
And you have given the back of my enemies to me, and you have destroyed those who hated me.
41 Mitaraina izy, fa tsy misy mpamonjy, dia amin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy mamaly azy Izy.
They cried out, but there was none to save them, to the Lord, but he did not heed them.
42 Torotoroiko madinika tahaka ny vovoka entin’ ny rivotra izy; Tahaka ny fanary fotaka eny an-dalambe no fanariko azy.
And I will crush them into dust before the face of the wind, so that I will obliterate them like the mud in the streets.
43 Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fifanoheran’ ny olona Hianao. Sy manandratra ahy ho lohan’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ny firenena tsy fantatro aza dia manompo ahy.
You will rescue me from the contradictions of the people. You will set me at the head of the Gentiles.
44 Raha vao mahare ny lazako fotsiny ihany aza izy, dia manoa ahy; Ny hafa firenena mikoy ahy.
A people I did not know has served me. As soon as their ears heard, they were obedient to me.
45 Ny hafa firenena dia mihaketraka, ka miala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy.
The sons of foreigners have been deceitful to me, the sons of foreigners have grown weak with time, and they have wavered from their paths.
46 Velona Jehovah; isaorana anie ny Vatolampiko; asandratra anie Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy,
The Lord lives, and blessed is my God, and may the God of my salvation be exalted:
47 Dia Andriamanitra, Izay manao famaliana ho ahy ka mampanaiky ny firenena ahy.
O God, who vindicates me and who subdues the people under me, my liberator from my enraged enemies.
48 Mamonjy ahy amin’ ny fahavaloko Izy; eny, manandratra ahy ho ambonin’ izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy Hianao, ary mamonjy ahy amin’ ny olon-dozabe.
And you will exalt me above those who rise up against me. From the iniquitous man, you will rescue me.
49 Koa izany no hiderako Anao eny amin’ ny firenen-tsamy hafa, Jehovah ô, sy hankalazako ny anaranao.
Because of this, O Lord, I will confess to you among the nations, and I will compose a psalm to your name:
50 Manao famonjen-dehibe ho an’ ny mpanjaka voatendriny Izy, ary mamindra fo amin’ ny voahosony, dia amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany mandrakizay.
magnifying the salvation of his king, and showing mercy to David, his Christ, and to his offspring, even for all time.
