Psalms 16
1 A michtam of David. Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
2 I say to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from you.
Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
3 As for the holy people who are on the earth, they are noble people; all my delight is in them.
O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
4 Their troubles will be increased, those who seek out other gods. I will not pour out drink offerings of blood to their gods or lift up their names with 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 Yahweh, you are my chosen portion and my cup. You hold onto my lot.
Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
6 Measuring lines have been laid for me in pleasant places; surely a pleasing inheritance is mine.
An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who counsels me; even at night my mind instructs me.
Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
8 I set Yahweh before me at all times, so I will not be shaken from his right hand!
Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
9 Therefore my heart is glad; my glory is rejoicing. Surely I will live in security.
Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol. You will not let your faithful one see the pit. (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 teach me the path of life; abundant joy resides in your presence; delights abide in your right hand forever!”
Ampaharofoana’o ahiko ty lalan-kaveloñe; lifotse hafaleañe ty añatrefa’o; haravoravoañe nainai’e ro am-pitàn-kavana’o.
