Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
Nataon’ i Davida.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.
Fa hojinjana faingana tahaka ny ahitra izy ka halazo tahaka ny ahi-maitso.
3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on [his] faithfulness.
Matokia an’ i Jehovah ianao, ka manaova soa, dia honina amin’ ny tany ianao ka ho faly amin’ ny fahamarinana.
4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Ary miravoravoa amin’ i Jehovah ianao, dia homeny anao izay irin’ ny fonao.
5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
Ankino amin’ i Jehovah ny lalanao, ary matokia Azy, fa hataony tanteraka.
6 And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noonday.
Ary hampiseho ny fahamarinanao tahaka ny mazava Izy, ary ny rariny ho anao tahaka ny mitataovovonana.
7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Miantombena tsara miandry an’ i Jehovah ianao ka manantenà Azy; Aza tezitra amin’ izay ambinina amin’ ny lalany dia amin’ izay olona manao sain-dratsy.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
Mitsahara amin’ ny fahatezerana, ary mahafoiza ny fahavinirana; aoka tsy hirehitra ny fahatezeranao; fa ratsy no hiafaran’ izany.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
Fa ny mpanao ratsy hofongoro-na; Ary izay miandry an’ i Jehovah no handova ny tany.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
Fa rehefa afaka kelikely, dia tsy hisy ny ratsy fanahy; Handinika ny fonenany ianao, fa tsy ho hita izy.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Fa ny mpandefitra kosa no handova ny tany ka hiravoravo amin’ ny haben’ ny fiadanana.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Ny ratsy fanahy manao hevi-dratsy hamelezana ny maraina ka mihidy vazana aminy.
13 The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming.
Ny tompo mihomehy azy, satria hitany fa ho tonga ny androny.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way.
Ny ratsy fanahy nampitsoaka ny sabany ka nanenjana ny tsipìkany mba hampikarapoka ny ory sy ny malahelo, ary hamono ny mahitsy lalana.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.
Ny sabany hitsatoka amin’ ny fony ihany, ary ny tsipìkany ho tapatapaka.
16 Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.
Tsara lavitra ny kely ananan’ ny ratsy fanahy maro.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
Fa ny sandrin’ ny ratsy fanahy ho tapatapaka; Fa Jehovah manohana ny marina.
18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever.
Fantatr’ i Jehovah ny andron’ ny mahitsy; Ary ny lovany ho mandrakizay.
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Tsy mba ho menatra amin’ ny andro fahoriana ireny; ary amin’ ny taona mosarena dia ho voky izy.
20 But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
Fa ny ratsy fanahy haringana, ary ny fahavalon’ i Jehovah ho tahaka ny voninahitry ny saha; Ho levona izy, eny, ho levon-ko setroka izy.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
Misambotra ny ratsy fanahy, nefa tsy manohitra; Fa ny marina kosa mamindra fo ka manome.
22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
Fa izay tahìny no handova ny tany; Ary izay ozoniny kosa no hofongorana.
23 A man’s goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.
Avy amin’ i Jehovah no mahalavorary ny dian’ ny olona, ka Izy no mankasitraka ny lalany.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.
Na dia lavo aza izy, tsy dia mikarapoka, fa Jehovah no mitantana azy.
25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.
Efa mba tanora ihany aho, ary efa antitra ankehitriny; Fa tsy mbola hitako mangataka hanina.
26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.
Miantra mandrakariva ireny ka mampisambotra; ary ny taranany hotahina.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.
Halaviro ny ratsy, ka manaova soa. Dia honina mandrakizay ianao.
28 For Jehovah loveth justice, And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Fa Jehovah tia rariny sady tsy hahafoy ny olony masìna; Harovana mandrakizay ireo; Fa taranaky ny ratsy fanahy hofongorana,
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever.
Ny marina handova ny tany Ka honina ao aminy mandrakizay
30 The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice.
Ny vavan’ ny marina miresaka fahendrena, Ary ny lelany manambara ny rariny.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.
Ny lalàn’ Andriamaniny no ao am-pony; Tsy mba ho solafaka ny diany.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him.
Mitsikilo ny marina ny ratsy fanahy ka mitady hahafaty azy.
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.
Jehovah tsy hahafoy azy eo an-tanany. Na hanameloka azy, raha tsaraina izy.
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Miandrasa an’ i Jehovah, ka tandremo ny lalàny, dia hanandratra anao handova ny tany Izy; Ho faly hahita ny hamongorana ny ratsy fanahy ianao.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Efa hitako ny ratsy fanahy, fa loza loatra izy, ary nandrahaka tahaka ny hazo maitso maniry ho azy;
36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Kanjo nandalo izy ka, indro, tsy teo intsony; Ary nitady azy ka, tsy hita izy.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; For there is a [happy] end to the man of peace.
Diniho ny mahitsy, ka jereo ny marina; Fa misy farany ho an’ ny olona tia fihavanana.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Fa ny mpanota haringana avokoa; Ny hihafaran’ ny ratsy fanahy ho fongotra.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Fa ny famonjena ny marina dia avy amin’ i Jehovah; Fiarovana mafy ho azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
40 And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them: He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
Ary Jehovah mamonjy azy sy manafaka azy; eny, manafaka azy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy Izy ka mamonjy azy, satria nialoka taminy izy.
