Psalms 16
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
4 Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
Ho be ny fahorian’ izay manova an’ Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin’ ny molotro ny anarany.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin’ ny lavaka Hianao. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
