1[Salamo abidy. Fitarainana sy fangataham-pamonjena noho ny fireharehan'ny ratsy]Jehovah ô, nahoana no mijanona eny lavitra eny Hianao ka miery amin'ny andro fahoriana?
1Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
2Noho ny fireharehan'ny ratsy fanahy dia enjehina mafy ny malahelo; azon'ny fahendrena nataony izy ireny.[Na: miolomay manenjika ny malahelo izy]
2Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
3Ny ratsy fanahy mandoka izay irin'ny fony; ary ny mpierina mahafoy sy manamavo an'i Jehovah.
3Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
4Ny ratsy fanahy mirehareha hoe: Tsy hanadina Izy; eny, "Tsy misy Andriamanitra" no tontalin-keviny.
4The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!` [are] all his devices.
5Tanteraka mandrakariva ny alehany; any amin'ny avo lavitra azy ny fitsarànao; ny mpandrafy azy rehetra dia ataony hoe: zinona ireny? [Heb. Mahery]
5Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries — he puffeth at them.
6Hoy izy am-pony: tsy hangozohozo aho, tsy ho azon-doza mandrakizay doria aho.
6He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,` To generation and generation not in evil.
7Feno ozona sy fitaka ary fanaovana an-keriny ny vavany; ao ambanin'ny lelany dia misy fampahoriana sy faharatsiana.
7Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
8Mamitsaka amin'ny fanotrehana ao an-tanàna izy, ao an-katakonana no amonoany ny marina; ny masony mikendry ny mahantra.
8He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
9Manotrika ao an-katakonana tahaka ny liona ao amin'ny famitsahany izy; manotrika hisambotra ny malahelo izy; fandrihany amin'ny haratony no fisambony ny malahelo.
9He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10Torotoro sy mitanondrika ny mahantra ka lavo amin'ny herin'ny ratsy fanahy.
10He is bruised — he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
11Hoy izy anakampony: efa nanadino Andriamanitra, efa nanafina ny tavany Izy ka tsy hahita mandrakizay.
11He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.`
12Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô; Andriamanitra ô, atsangano ny tananao, aza manadino ny ory.
12Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
13Nahoana no mamingavinga an'Andriamanitra ny ratsy fanahy ka manao anakampo hoe: Tsy hanadina Hianao?
13Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.`
14Efa nahita ihany Hianao, satria mijery fahoriana sy alahelo, mba hovalian'ny tananao. Hianao no iononan'ny mahantra; Hianao no Mpamonjy ny kamboty.
14Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
15Torotoroy ny sandrin'ny ratsy fanahy; ary adino ny heloky ny mpanao ratsy mandra-paha-tsy hisy hitanao intsony.
15Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
16Jehovah no Mpanjaka mandrakizay doria; voafongotra tsy ho amin'ny taniny intsony ny jentilisa.
16Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
17Efa nohenoinao, Jehovah ô, ny irin'ny mpandefitra; mampiomana ny fony Hianao sady mampihaino ny sofinao,Hanomezanao rariny ny kamboty sy ny mahantra, mba tsy handroso hampitahotra intsony ny zanak'olombelona etỳ an-tany.
17The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
18Hanomezanao rariny ny kamboty sy ny mahantra, mba tsy handroso hampitahotra intsony ny zanak'olombelona etỳ an-tany.
18To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress — man of the earth!
