Salamo 1

1 Sambatra ny olona izay tsy mandeha eo amin’ ny fisainan’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary tsy mijanona eo amin’ ny lalana falehan’ ny mpanota, ary tsy mipetraka eo amin’ ny fipetrahan’ ny mpaniratsira;

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 Fa ny lalàn’ i Jehovah no sitrany; eny ny lalàny no saintsaininy andro aman’ alina.

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 Dia tahaka ny hazo ambolena eo amoron’ ny rano velona izy, izay mamoa amin’ ny fotoany, ny raviny koa tsy mba malazo; ary ny asany rehetra dia ataony lavorary avokoa.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 Fa tsy mba toy izany ny ratsy fanahy fa toy ny akofa aelin’ ny rivotra izy.

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Ary noho izany ny ratsy fanahy dia tsy hahajanona eo amin’ ny fitsarana, na ny mpanota eo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny marina.

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 Fa fantatr’ i Jehovah ny lalan’ ny marina, fa ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa dia mankany amin’ ny fahaverezana.

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
