< Psalms 16 >
1 PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Hampitomboeñe ty hasotria’ ze mihitrike mb’an-tsamposampo’e añe; tsy hailiko ty engan-dranon-dio’iareo, le tsy ho rambesen-tsoñiko o añara’ iareoo.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
amy te tsy hapo’o an-tsikeokeok’ ao ty fiaiko, vaho tsy hado’o hahaoni-pihomahañe i Masi’oy. (Sheol )
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Ampaharofoana’o ahiko ty lalan-kaveloñe; lifotse hafaleañe ty añatrefa’o; haravoravoañe nainai’e ro am-pitàn-kavana’o.
