1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
1[Ny hiafaran'ny mpandrafy an'i Ziona] Fihirana fiakarana. Mafy no nampahoriany ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora, Eny, aoka hataon'ny Isiraely hoe: [Na: Fihirana misy hevitra ambaratonga]
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
2Mafy no nampahoriany ahy hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora; Nefa tsy naharesy ahy izy.
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
3Ny mpiasa dia niasa ny lamosiko; Efa nanalava ny vavasany izy.
4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
4Marina Jehovah: Efa nanapaka ny famatorana nataon'ny ratsy fanahy Izy.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
5Aoka ho menatra sy hiamboho Izay rehetra mandrafy an'i Ziona
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
6Ka ho tahaka ny ahitra eo an-tampon-trano. Izay malazo, na dia tsy misy manongotra azy aza;
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
7Tsy misy mpijinja mameno tanana Na mpamehy amboara mameno tratra amin'izany;Ka dia tsy hisy mpandalo hanao hoe: Hotahin'i Jehovah anie ianareo; Eny, ny anaran'i Jehovah no itsofanay rano anareo.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
8Ka dia tsy hisy mpandalo hanao hoe: Hotahin'i Jehovah anie ianareo; Eny, ny anaran'i Jehovah no itsofanay rano anareo.
