Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
2 I said to YHWH, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
4 Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
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 YHWH is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
7 I will bless YHWH, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
8 I have put YHWH before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see 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 make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
