¹I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

¹[Ny amin'ny fitondrana alahelo, sy ny fampiononana ataon'Andriamanitra][ALEFA]Izaho ilay lehilahy nahita fahoriana tamin'ny tsorakazon'ny fahatezerany.

²He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.

²Izaho no notarihiny sy nampandehaniny ho amin'ny maizina, fa tsy ho amin'ny mazava.

³Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.

³Izaho ihany no asian'ny tànany mandritra ny andro mandrakariva.

⁴My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

⁴[BETA] Nataony antitra ny nofoko sy ny hoditro, notapatapahiny ny taolako.

⁵He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

⁵Manorina izay hamelezany ahy Izy ary manemitra ahy amin'ny zava-mangidy sy ny fahoriana.

⁶He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.

⁶Ampitoeriny ao amin'ny maizina toy izay efa maty fahagola aho.

⁷He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

⁷[GIMELA] Nofefeny manodidina aho ka tsy afa-nivoaka, nataony mavesatra ny gadrako.

⁸Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

⁸Ary na dia mitaraina sy minananana aza aho, dia tampenany ny fivavako.

⁹He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

⁹Vato voapaika no narafiny natampiny ny lalako, naolikoliny ny alehako.

¹⁰He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

¹⁰[DALETA] Tonga bera manotrika ahy Izy, ary toy ny liona ao amin'ny fierena;

¹¹He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

¹¹Namily ny alehako Izy, ary noviravirainy aho ka nataony mahatsiravina.

¹²He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

¹²Nanenjana ny tsipìkany Izy ka nanangana ahy ho toy ny marika hokendrena zana-tsipìka.

¹³He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.

¹³[HE] Nampitsatoka ny zana-tsipìkany tamin'ny voako Izy.[Heb. zanaky ny tranon-jana-tsipìka]

¹⁴I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

¹⁴Tonga fihomehezan'ny fireneko rehetra aho sady ataony an-kira mandritra ny andro.

¹⁵He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.

¹⁵Novokisany zava-mangidy aho ary nobobohany zava-mahafaty.

¹⁶He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.

¹⁶[VAO] Ary notorotoroiny tamin'ny sila-bato ny nifiko, sady natsinkasinkasiny tamin'ny lavenona aho.

¹⁷And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.

¹⁷Ary noroahinao tsy hahita fiadanana ny fanahiko, ka efa hadinoko ny tsara.

¹⁸And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

¹⁸Dia hoy izaho: Levona ny faharetako sy ny fanantenako an'i Jehovah.

¹⁹Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

¹⁹[ZAINA] Tsarovy ny fahoriako sy ny fanjenjenako, dia ny zava-mahafaty sy ny rano mangidy.

²⁰My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

²⁰Tsaroan'ny fanahiko indrindra izany, ka mitanondrika ato anatiko izy.

²¹This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

²¹Izany no ho eritreretiko ato am-poko, ka dia hanantena aho.

²²It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

²²[HETA] Ny famindram-pon'i Jehovah no tsy nahalany ritra antsika, fa tsy mitsahatra ny fiantrany.

²³They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

²³Vaovao isa-maraina izany; lehibe ny fahamarinanao.

²⁴The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

²⁴Jehovah no anjarako, hoy ny fanahiko, ka dia hanantena Azy aho.

²⁵The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

²⁵[TETA] Tsara Jehovah amin'izay manantena Azy, dia amin'ny olona izay mitady Azy.

²⁶It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

²⁶Tsara ny miandry ny famonjen'i Jehovah amin'ny fanginana.

²⁷It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth.

²⁷Tsara amin'ny olona ny mitondra zioga, raha mbola tanora izy.

²⁸He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

²⁸[JODA] Aoka hanjokaiky irery izy ka hangina, raha ampitondraina izany.

²⁹He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

²⁹Aoka hanohoka ny vavany eo amin'ny vovoka izy, angamba hisy hantenaina.

³⁰He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

³⁰Aoka hanolotra ny takolany ho amin'izay mamely azy izy ka ho feno latsa.

³¹For the LORD will not cast off for ever:

³¹[KAFA] Fa tsy hanary mandrakizay ny Tompo;

³²But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

³²Eny fa na dia mampahory aza Izy, dia mbola hiantra ihany araka ny haben'ny famindram-pony.

³³For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

³³Fa tsy sitrany ny mampahory na mampalahelo ny zanak'olombelona.

³⁴To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.

³⁴[LAMEDA] Ny fanitsakitsahana ny mpifatotra rehetra ambonin'ny tany ho eo ambanin'ny tongotra,

³⁵To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

³⁵Ny familiana ny rariny amin'ny olona eo anatrehan'ny Avo Indrindra,

³⁶To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.

³⁶Ny famadihana ny adin'ny olona, dia samy tsy sitraky ny Tompo.[Heb. jeren']

³⁷Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

³⁷[MEMA] Iza moa no miteny, ka dia mahatonga izany, raha tsy zavatra efa nodidian'ny Tompo?

³⁸Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

³⁸Tsy avy amin'ny vavan'ny Avo Indrindra va no ivoahan'ny soa sy ny loza ?

³⁹Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

³⁹Koa ahoana no imonomononan'ny olona mbola velona, fa no tsy aleo misento noho ny amin'ny fahotany avy? [Na: Eny, nahoana no imonomononan'ny olona, raha mijaly noho ny fahotany?]

⁴⁰Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

⁴⁰[NONA] Aoka isika handinika sy hamantatra ny alehantsika ka hiverina indray amin'i Jehovah.

⁴¹Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

⁴¹Aoka hasandratsika amin'Andriamanitra any an-danitra ny fontsika sy ny tanantsika.

⁴²We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

⁴²Izahay efa nanota sy nanao ditra, ary Hianao kosa tsy namela heloka.

⁴³Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

⁴³[SAMEKA] Nisarona fahatezerana Hianao ka nanenjika anay; eny, novonoinao izahay, fa tsy niantranao.

⁴⁴Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

⁴⁴Nisarona rahona Hianao, ka dia voasakana ny vavaka.

⁴⁵Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

⁴⁵Nataonao tahaka ny fakofako sy ny zavatra nariana teo afovoan'ny firenena izahay.

⁴⁶All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

⁴⁶[PE] Ny fahavalonay rehetra misanasana vava aminay.

⁴⁷Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

⁴⁷Mahavoa anay ny tahotra sy ny lavaka ary ny fandringanana sy ny fahatorotoroana.

⁴⁸Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴⁸Rano mandriaka no mijononoka amin'ny masoko noho ny faharatran'ny oloko zanakavavy.

⁴⁹Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.

⁴⁹[AINA] Ny masoko mandrotsa-dranomaso ka tsy mijanona, eny, tsy misy fiatoana,

⁵⁰Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.

⁵⁰Ambara-pitazan'i Jehovah ka ho tsinjony any an-danitra.

⁵¹Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

⁵¹Ny masoko mampiditra fahoriana ho an'ny fanahiko noho ny amin'ny zanakavavin'ny tanànako rehetra.

⁵²Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

⁵²[TSADE] Izay fahavaloko tsy ahoan-tsy ahoana dia nanenjika ahy mafy hoatra ny fanenjika voron-kely.

⁵³They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

⁵³Nanjera ahy tao an-davaka famoriandrano izy ka nitady hahafaty ahy sady nitora-bato ahy.

⁵⁴Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.

⁵⁴Mandifotra ny lohako ny rano, ka dia hoy izaho: Maty aho ity![Heb. Voajinja]

⁵⁵I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

⁵⁵[KOFA] Jehovah ô, niantso ny anaranao tany an-davaka lalina indrindra aho.

⁵⁶Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

⁵⁶Ny feoko dia efa renao, aza tampenana ny sofinao, raha mitaraina mitady izay mba hiainana kely aho.

⁵⁷Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

⁵⁷Nanakaiky Hianao tamin'ny andro niantsoako Anao, ka dia hoy Hianao: Aza matahotra.

⁵⁸O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

⁵⁸[RESY] Tompo ô, Hianao nandahatra ny adiko izay nikasika ny aiko, eny, nanavotra ny aiko Hianao.

⁵⁹O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

⁵⁹Jehovah ô, hitanao ny fitsarana miangatra natao tamiko, ka mba tsarao ny adiko.

⁶⁰Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

⁶⁰Hitanao ny famalian-dratsy rehetra ataon'ireo, dia ny saina rehetra entiny mamely ahy

⁶¹Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;

⁶¹[SINA] Jehovah ô, efa renao ny latsa ataony, dia ny saina rehetra entiny mamely ahy,

⁶²The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

⁶²Dia ny molotr'izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy sy ny saina ataony mandritra ny andro hamelezana ahy.

⁶³Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

⁶³Jereo ny fipetrany sy ny fitsangany, fa ataony an-kira aho.

⁶⁴Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

⁶⁴[TAO] Hovalianao araka ny asan'ny tànany izy, Jehovah ô.

⁶⁵Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.

⁶⁵Eny, hohamaizininao ny fony, hihatra aminy ny ozonao.Henjehinao amin'ny fahatezerana izy ka haringanao tsy ho etỳ ambanin'ny lanitr'i Jehovah.

⁶⁶Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.

⁶⁶Henjehinao amin'ny fahatezerana izy ka haringanao tsy ho etỳ ambanin'ny lanitr'i Jehovah.
