Psalms 36
1 [Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah. Ny ota milaza ato am-poko ny amin’ ny ratsy fanahy hoe: tsy misy fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra ao aminy.
2 Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
Fa miarahaba tena izy ny amin’ ny tsy hahitana ny helony ka hankahalana azy.
3 [Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
Ny tenin’ ny vavany dia faharatsiana sy fitaka; efa nihadala izy ka nitsahatra tsy hanao soa.
4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
Faharatsiana no saintsaininy eo am-pandriany; mitsangana eo amin’ ny lalana tsy mety izy; ny ratsy tsy mba laviny akory.
5 Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
Jehovah ô, mipaka amin’ ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; mihatra amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.
6 Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
Ny fahamarinanao dia tahaka ny tendrombohitra avo dia avo; ny fitsaranao dia toy ny lalina indrindra; ny olona sy ny biby dia samy vonjenao, Jehovah ô,
7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny famindram-ponao, Andriamanitra ô! ka mialoka eo amin’ ny aloky ny elatrao ny zanak’ olombelona.
8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
Voky ny matavy ao an-tranonao izy; ary ny ony fampifalianao no ampisotroanao azy.
9 You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
Fa ao aminao no misy loharanon’ aina; ny fahazavanao no hahitanay fahazavana.
10 Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
Ampahareto amin’ izay mahalala Anao ny famindram-ponao, ary ny fahamarinanao amin’ ny mahitsy fo.
11 Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
Aoka tsy hanitsaka ahy ny tongotry ny mpiavonavona, na hampandositra ahy ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
Indreo! efa lavo ny mpanao ratsy; naripaka izy ka tsy maharina.
