Salamo 79
A psalm of Asaph. God, foreign nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins.
2 Finaha’e ami’ty fañova’ o mpitoro’oo o voron-dikerañeo; naho ami’ty nofo’ o nigahiñ’ ama’oo o bibi’ ty tane toio.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the skies, the bodies of your faithful people to the beasts of the earth.
3 Nadoandoañe hoe rano mb’eo mb’eo e Ierosalaime ao ty lio’ iareo; ie tsy amam-pandenteke.
They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
4 Fifosà’ o am-paripari’aio zahay, mandrabioñe naho mitsikike anay o mañohok’ anaio.
We have become a reproach for our neighbors, mocking and derision to those who are around us.
5 Pak’ombia ry Iehovà? ho viñera’o nainai’e hao? Sikal’ombia ty mbe hibebañe hoe afo ty famarahia’o?
How long, Yahweh? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your jealous anger burn like fire?
6 Adobaño amo kilakila ondaty tsy mahafohiñ’Azoo ty haviñera’o; naho amo tane tsy mikanjy i tahina’oio.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
7 Fa nabotse’ iereo t’Iakobe, naho nanoeñe tanàn-taolo ty fimoneña’e.
For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his villages.
8 Ko tiahie’o ama’ay o hakeon-drae’aio, ampisalakao anay masìka o fiferenaiña’oo, fa nafotsak’ ambane.
Do not hold the sins of our forefathers against us; may your merciful actions come to us, for we are very low.
9 Imbao, ry Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañ’ anay! Ty amy enge’ i tahina’oy; avotsoro, vaho saroño o hakeo’aio ty amy tahina’oy.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of your name; save us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.
10 Aa vaho akore ty atao’ o kilakila ondatio ty hoe: Aia t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo? Ampahafohino o fifeheañeo ampahaisaha’ay ty famaleañe o liom-pitoro’o nadoañeo.
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” May the blood of your servants that was shed be avenged on the nations before our eyes.
11 Ampiatrefañ’ Azo ty fitretretretre’ o mpirohio; ty ami’ty harà’ elahin-kaozara’o; hahao o tinendre havetrakeo.
May the groans of the prisoners come before you; with the greatness of your power keep the children of death alive.
12 Le valeo im-pito añ’araña’ o mañohok’ anaio, o tivetive nafokafoka’e ama’oo ry Talè.
Pay back into the laps of our neighboring countries seven times as much as the insults with which they have insulted you, Lord.
13 Soa te hañandriañe Azo nainai’e zahay ondati’o naho añondrim-piandraza’oo, vaho hatalili’ay amy ze hene tariratse kitro añ’afe’e ty enge’o.
So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever. We will tell your praises to all generations.
