¹Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

¹[Ny faharatsian'ny Isiraely, sy ny hanjo azy, ary ny hibebahany, sy ny hamindran'Andriamanitra fo aminy] Lozako! fa efa tonga toy ny fiotazam-boankazo aho Sy toy ny fitsimponam-boaloboka, Tsy misy salohy hohanina, Na aviavy mialin-taona, izay irin'ny fanahiko,

²The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

²Lany tsy misy amin'ny tany intsony ny tsara fanahy; Eny, tsy misy olo-marina ao amin'ny olombelona; Samy manotrika handatsa-drà avokoa izy, Eny, mihaza ny rahalahiny amin'ny harato izy rehetra.

³That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

³Vonona hanao ratsy ny tànany; Mila ny mpanapaka, Azon-kolikoly ny mpitsara, Ary ny lehibe milaza ny fitsiriritan'ny fanahiny, Koa izany no entiny mandrarirary azy.

⁴The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

⁴Na dia ny tsara indrindra ao aminy aza dia toy ny roy, Ary na dia ny mahitsy indrindra ao aminy aza dia ratsy noho ny fefy tsilo; Avy ny andron'ny tilinao, izay hamaliana anao; Amin'izany dia vao ho very hevitra ianao.[Heb. izy]

⁵Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

⁵Aza matoky namana ianareo, Aza mahazo am-po izay sakaiza mahazatra; Fa ambeno ny varavaran'ny vavanao na dia amin'izay andefimandrinao aza.

⁶For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

⁶Fa ny zanakalahy manamavo ny rainy, Ny zanakavavy mitsangan-kanohitra ny reniny, Ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy; Ary ny ankohonan'ny olona ihany no fahavalony.

⁷Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

⁷Fa izaho kosa dia hanandrandra an'i Jehovah, Eny, hiandry an'Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy aho; Andriamanitro no hihaino ahy.

⁸Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

⁸Aza mifaly ahy, ry fahavaloko, Fa na dia lavo aza aho, mbola hiarina ihany; Raha mitoetra ao amin'ny maizina aho, Dia Jehovah no fahazavana ho ahy.

⁹I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

⁹Ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah dia hiaretako ihany, Fa efa nanota taminy aho, Ambara-pandahany ny teniko Sy hanomezany rariny ho ahy; Hamoaka ahy ho amin'ny mazava Izy, Ka ho faly aho mahita ny fahamarinany.

¹⁰Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

¹⁰Dia hahita izany ilay fahavaloko ka hosaronan-kenatra, Dia ilay nanao tamiko hoe: Aiza Izay Jehovah Andriamanitrao? Ho faly mahita azy ny masoko; Ankehitriny dia ho fanitsakitsaka toy ny fotaka eny an-dalambe izy.

¹¹In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.

¹¹He ny andro hananganana ny mandanao! Amin'izany andro izany dia hitarina ny faritra.32[Na: ho lavitra ny didy]

¹²In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.

¹²Amin'izany andro izany koa dia hanatona anao ny olona Avy any Asyria sy avy any amin'ny tanànan'i Egypta, Eny, hatrany Egypta ka hatramin'ny Ony, Ary hatramin'ny ranomasina ka hatramin'ny ranomasina, Ary hatramin'ny tendrombohitra ka hatramin'ny tendrombohitra.[Heb. Mazora][Eofrata]

¹³Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

¹³Nefa ho lao ny tany noho ny amin'ny mponina eo aminy, Dia noho ny vokatry ny asany.

¹⁴Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

¹⁴Ny tehinao no ento miandry ny olonao, Dia ny ondry lovanao, Izay monina mitokana, dia any an'ala ao an-tampon'i Karmela; Aoka handrasana any Basana sy Gileada ireny Toy ny tamin'ny andro taloha ela.

¹⁵According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.

¹⁵Toy ny tamin'ny andro nivoahanao avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta No hanehoako azy zava-mahagaga.

¹⁶The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

¹⁶Hahita izany ny jentilisa, Ka hahamenatra azy ny heriny rehetra; Hitampim-bava izy, Ho tonga marenina ny sofiny.

¹⁷They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

¹⁷Hilelaka ny vovoka toy ny menarana izy; Hiala amin-kovitra avy ao amin'ny fiarovany mafy tahaka ny biby mikisaka amin'ny tany izy; Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia hohatoniny amin-kovitra, Eny, hatahotra Anao izy.

¹⁸Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

¹⁸Iza no Andriamanitra tahaka Anao, Izay mamela heloka Sady mandalo ny fahadisoan'ny sisa amin'ny lovany? Tsy mitana ny fahatezerany ho mandrakizay Izy, Fa tia famindram-po.

¹⁹He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

¹⁹Hamindra fo amintsika indray Izy Ka hanitsakitsaka ny fahotantsika, Eny, harianao ho any amin'ny ranomasina lalina ny fahotany rehetra.Hanefa fahamarinana ho an'i Jakoba Hianao Sy famindram-po ho an'i Abrahama, Dia ilay nianiananao tamin'ny razanay hatramin'ny andro taloha ela.

²⁰Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

²⁰Hanefa fahamarinana ho an'i Jakoba Hianao Sy famindram-po ho an'i Abrahama, Dia ilay nianiananao tamin'ny razanay hatramin'ny andro taloha ela.
