< Salamo 12 >
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-hasheminith. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Vonjeo, Jehovah ô, fa efa lany ny tsara fanahy; eny, tsy misy mahatoky intsony eo amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David. Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
2 Samy milaza lainga amin’ ny namany amin’ ny molotra mandrobo izy; fo mamorom-pitaka no itenenany.
They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
3 Holevonin’ i Jehovah anie ny molotra mandrobo rehetra sy ny lela miteny avonavona,
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
4 Izay manao hoe: hampahery anay ny lelanay; miandany aminay ny molotray; iza no tomponay?
Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
5 Noho ny fampahoriana ny ory sy ny fisentoan’ ny malahelo, dia hitsangana Aho ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah; hovonjeko izay vingavingain’ ny sasany.
By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
6 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia teny madio, tahaka ny volafotsy voarendrika tao anatin’ ny memy ka mitsoriaka amin’ ny tany eny, voadio impito.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
7 Hianao, Jehovah ô, no hiaro azy, Hianao no hiambina azy mandrakizay tsy ho azon’ ity taranaka ity.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.
8 Raha avy izay isandratan’ ny tsinontsinona eo amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona, dia mieboebo ombieniombieny ny ratsy fanahy. Fitarainana ataon’ izay azom-pahoriana mafy loatra.
The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men.
