1[Fitarainana amin'Andriamanitra noho ny fampahoriana ataon'ny lozabe] Jehovah, Andriamanitra Mpamaly ny natao, ô, Andriamanitra, Mpamaly ny natao, ô, mamirapirata.
1God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2Misandrata, ry Mpitsara ny tany, ô; Mamalia ny mpiavonavona.
2Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
3Mandra-pahoviana re ny ratsy fanahy, Jehovah ô, Mandra-pahoviana re no mbola hifalifaly ny ratsy fanahy?
3Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
4Mirezadrezatra sy miteny sahisahy izy; Mirehareha ny mpanao ratsy rehetra.
4They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5Ny olonao, Jehovah ô, torotoroiny, Ary ny lovanao ampahoriny;
5Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
6Ny mpitondratena sy ny vahiny vonoiny, Ary ny kamboty dia matiny
6Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
7Fa hoy izy: Tsy mijery Jehovah, Ary tsy mandinika Andriamanitr'i Jakoba.
7And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.`
8Mahalalà ianareo olona ketrina; Ary ianareo adala, rahoviana re no mba ho hendry ianareo?
8Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
9Ny Mpanao ny sofina va tsy handre? Ny Mpamorona ny maso va tsy hahita?[Heb. Mpamboly]
9He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
10Ny Mpampianatra ny jentilisa va tsy hananatra, Dia Izay mampianatra fahalalana ny olona?
10He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
11Jehovah no mahalala ny hevitry ny olona, Fa zava-poana izany.
11He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12Sambatra izay olona anarinao, Jehovah ô, Sady ampianarinao avy amin'ny lalanao,
12O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
13Mba homenao fitsaharana amin'ny andro fahoriana izy, Mandra-pihady lavaka ho an'ny ratsy fanahy.
13To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
14Fa Jehovah tsy mba hanary ny olony, Ary ny lovany tsy hafoiny.
14For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15Fa ny fitsarana hiverina ho amin'ny fahamarinana, Ary hanaraka izany ny mahitsy fo rehetra
15For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
16Iza no hitsangana ho ahy hisakana ny mpanao ratsy? Iza no hiseho ho ahy hisakana ny mpanao meloka?
16Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
17Raha tsy Jehovah no Mpamonjy ahy, Dia efa saiky nalaky nitoetra tao amin'ny mangingina ny fanahiko.
17Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18Fony aho nanao hoe: Mangozohozo ny tongotro, Dia ny famindram-ponao, Jehovah ô, no nanohana ahy.
18If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,` Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19Raha be ny ahiahy ato anatiko Dia mampifaly ny fanahiko ny fampiononanao.
19In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20Hikambana aminao va ny seza fiandrianan'ny ratsy, Izay misaina fampahoriana manohitra ny lalàna? [Na: Izay misaina fampahoriana araka ny lalàny]
20Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21Manao andiany hamely ny fanahin'ny marina ireo Ka manameloka ny rà marina.
21They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
22Fa tonga fiarovana avo ho ahy Jehovah; Ary vatolampy fialofako Andriamanitro.Dia ampanodiaviny azy ireo ny helony ka aringany noho ny faharatsiany izy; Eny, aringan'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika izy.
22And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,
23Dia ampanodiaviny azy ireo ny helony ka aringany noho ny faharatsiany izy; Eny, aringan'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika izy.
23And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
