1[Fitarainan'ilay ampahorin'ny olon-tsy tia sy ny sakaiza mamadika] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon'i Davida. Sambatra izay mahatsiaro ny malahelo; Jehovah hamonjy azy amin'ny andro fahoriana.
1To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
2Jehovah hitandrina sy hiaro azy tsy ho faty; hatao ho sambatra ambonin'ny tany izy, ary tsy mba hatolotrao amin'ny sitrapon'ny fahavalony.
2Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
3Jehovah hanohana azy eo ambonin'ny farafara hitsaboana azy. Ny fandriany rehetra eo am-paharariany dia hovanao.
3Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
4Hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko; sitrano ny fanahiko, fa efa nanota taminao aho.
4I — I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,`
5Ny fahavaloko maniry ahy ho simba ka manao hoe: Rahoviana no ho faty izy, ka ho very ny anarany?
5Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
6Ary raha avy mamangy, izy dia miteny zava-poana; ny fony mamory faharatsiana ho an'ny tenany; mivoaka eny ivelany izy ka milazalaza.
6And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
7Mitakoritsika ahy izay rehetra mankahala ahy; misaina hanisy ratsy ahy izy.
7All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8Tena zava-dratsy, hoy izy, no aidina aminy; ary raha mandry izy dia tsy hitsangana intsony.
8A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
9Eny, ny sakaizako, izay maha-toky ahy sady nihinana ny haniko, no nanangana ny ombelahin-tongony hamely ahy.
9Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
10Fa ianao kosa Jehovah ô, mamindrà fo amiko, ka atsangano aho mba hamaliako azy.
10And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
11Izao no hahafantarako fa mankasitraka ahy Hianao, dia ny tsy anakoran'ny fahavaloko ahy.
11By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
12Ary ny amiko, dia manohana ahy amin'ny fahitsiako Hianao, ka mampitoetra ahy eo anatrehanao mandrakizay.Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin'ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.
12As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
13Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, hatramin'ny taloha indrindra ka mandrakizay. Amena dia Amena.
13Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
