Psalms 11

1 I trust that Yahweh will protect [MTY] me. So do not [RHQ] say to me, “You need to escape/flee to the mountains like birds do,

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida.

2 because wicked people have hidden in the darkness, they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows to shoot them at godly/righteous [IDM] people [like you].

Fa, indro, ny ratsy fanahy manenjana ny tsipìkany; efa nanamboatra ny zana-tsipìkany eo amin’ ny kofehy izy, nikendry tao amin’ ny maizina hitifitra ny mahitsy fo.

3 When people are not punished for disobeying the laws, (what can righteous people do?/there is not much that righteous people can do.)” [RHQ]

Fa rava ny fanorenana, ka inona indray no azon’ ny marina atao?

4 But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven, and he [SYN] watches everything that people do.

Jehovah dia ao amin’ ny tempoliny masìna, ny seza fiandrianan’ i Jehovah dia any an-danitra; ny masony mijery, eny, ny hodi-masony mizaha toetra ny zanak’ olombelona.

5 Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who like to perform violent actions [to injure others].

Jehovah mizaha toetra ny marina; fa ny ratsy fanahy sy ny mifaly hampidi-doza dia samy halan’ ny fanahiny.

6 He will send down [from the sky] flaming coals and burning sulfur, and send scorching hot winds to punish wicked people.

Handatsaka fandrika amin’ ny ratsy fanahy Izy tahaka ny fandatsaka ranonorana; afo sy solifara ary rivo-mahamay no ho anjara kapoakany.

7 Yahweh is righteous and he loves those who act righteously; righteous people are able to come into his presence.

Fa marina Jehovah, ka fahamarinana no tiany; ny mahitsy no hahita ny tavany.
