1[Fitarainana tamin'Andriamanitra, satria mafy ny fanenjehana, sady nosimbàna ny tempoly] Maskila nataon'i Asafa. Andriamanitra ô, nahoana no nanary anay mandrakizay Hianao, sady manetroka amin'ny ondry fiandrinao ny fahatezeranao?
1An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.
2Tsarovy ny fiangonanao izay efa azonao fahiny, ilay navotanao ho firenena lovanao, dia ny tendrom-bohitra Ziona izay nonenanao.
2Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion — Thou didst dwell in it.
3Aingao ny tongotrao, ka miakara ho amin'ny voarava mandrakizay; ny zavatra rehetra tao amin'ny fitoerana masina dia simban'ny fahavalo avokoa.
3Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
4Nierona tao anatin'ny fiangonanao ny mpandrafy anao; nanangana ny sainany ho famantarana izy.
4Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
5Ny fijery azy dia tahaka ny olona manainga famaky hijinja ny ala mikitroka;
5He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood — axes.
6Ary amin'izao ny rafitra misoratra rehetra ao dia asiany ny famaky sy ny kanonta.
6And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,
7Efa nandoro ny fitoeranao masina tamin'ny afo izy; nolotoiny sy nazerany tamin'ny tany ny fonenan'ny anaranao.[Heb: Nolotoiny hatramin'ny tany]
7They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle of Thy name,
8Hoy izy tam-pony: aoka hampahorintsika avokoa izy. Efa nandoro ny tranon'Andriamanitra eran'ny tany rehetra izy.
8They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,` They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9Tsy hitanay ny famantaranay tsy misy mpaminany intsony ary tsy misy aminay mahalala izay mbola haharetan'izao.
9Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
10Mandra-pahoviana, Andriamanitra ô, no hanaratsian'ny mpandrafy? Hanamavo ny anaranao mandrakizay va ny fahavalo?
10Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?
11Nahoana no mampihemotra ny tananao, dia ny tananao ankavanana, Hianao? mampialà azy amin'ny tratranao, ka mandringàna.
11Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove [it].
12Fa Andriamanitra no Mpanjakako hatrizay hatrizay; manao famonjena eny amin'ny tany Izy.
12And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Nampisaraka ny ranomasina tamin'ny herinao Hianao; efa namakivaky ny lohan'ny dragona tao anaty rano Hianao.
13Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-[monster], Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,
14Hianao nanorotoro ny lohan'ny mamba ka nanome azy hohanin'izay firenena any an-efitra.
14Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.
15Hianao namaky ny vatolampy hamoaka loharano sy ony; Hianao nahatankina ny ony tsy mety ritra.
15Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.
16Anao ny andro, Anao koa ny alina; Hianao namboatra ny fanazavana, indrindra fa ny masoandro.
16Thine [is] the day, also Thine [is] the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver — the sun.
17Hianao nametra ny faritry ny tany rehetra; ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, dia Hianao no nanao azy.
17Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.
18Tsarovy izao: Manaratsy an'i Jehovah ny fahavalo, ary ny olona adala manamavo ny anaranao.
18Remember this — an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.
19Aza manolotra ny ain'ny voromailalanao ho an'ny bibi-dia; ary aza manadino mandrakizay ny ain'ny olo-mahantranao.
19Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.
20Hevero ny fanekena; fa feno fonenan'ny fandozana ny fitoera-maizina amin'ny tany.
20Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
21Aoka tsy hiverina amin-kenatra ny mahantra; aoka ny ory sy ny malahelo hidera ny anaranao.
21Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,
22Mitsangàna, Andriamanitra ô, efao ny adinao; tsarovy ny fanaratsian'ny adala Anao isan'andro.Aza manadino ny feon'ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban'ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.
22Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.
23Aza manadino ny feon'ny rafinao, dia ny fitabataban'ny mpanohitra Anao, izay miakatra mandrakariva.
23Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!
