Salamo 112

1 Haleloia. Sambatra ny olona izay matahotra an’ i Jehovah Sady mankasitraka ny didiny indrindra.

Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

2 Hahery ambonin’ ny tany ny zanany; Hotahina ny taranaky ny marina.

Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

3 Fananana sy harena no ao an-tranony; Ary ny fahamarinany haharitra mandrakizay.

Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

4 Ao amin’ ny maizina no iposahan’ ny mazava ho an’ ny mahitsy; Mamindra fo sy miantra ary marina ireny.

Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

5 Sambatra ny olona izay miantra ka mampisambotra; Tsy mba ho resy eo am-pitsarana izy.

Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

6 Fa tsy hangozohozo mandrakizay izy; Hotsarovana mandrakizay ny marina.

They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

7 Tsy mba manahinahy hahare loza izy; Tafatoetra matoky an’ i Jehovah ny fony.

They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

8 Voatohana ny fony, ka tsy hatahotra izy, Mandra-pifaliny mahita ny amin’ ny mpandrafy azy.

They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

9 Namafy izy, eny, nanome ho an’ ny malahelo; Ny fahamarinany maharitra mandrakizay; Hisandratra amim-boninahitra ny tandrony.

They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

10 Ny ratsy fanahy hahita ka ho sosotra; Hihidy vazana izy ka ho levona; Ho foana ny fanirian’ ny ratsy fanahy.

The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.
