Salamo 15

1 Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Izay mandeha tsy misy tsiny ary manao izay mahitsy, sady misaintsaina ny marina ny fony;

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 Tsy manendrikendrika amin’ ny lelany, sady tsy manisy ratsy ny sakaizany, ary tsy manao izay hahafa-baraka ny namany,

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 Tsy manaja ny ratsy fanahy, fa manome voninahitra ny matahotra an’ i Jehovah; tsy mivadika amin’ ny fianianany, na dia maningotra ny tenany aza,

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 Sady tsy mampihana ny volany, na mandray kolikoly hanameloka ny marina, ― izay mitandrina izany dia tsy mba hangozohozo mandrakizay.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
