Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
2 I said to YHWH, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
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.
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 YHWH is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
7 I will bless YHWH, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
8 I have put YHWH before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
amy te tsy hapo’o an-tsikeokeok’ ao ty fiaiko, vaho tsy hado’o hahaoni-pihomahañe i Masi’oy. (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.
Ampaharofoana’o ahiko ty lalan-kaveloñe; lifotse hafaleañe ty añatrefa’o; haravoravoañe nainai’e ro am-pitàn-kavana’o.
