Salamo 16
1 Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
2 Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
3 Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 Ho be ny fahorian’ izay manova an’ Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin’ ny molotro ny anarany.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
6 Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
7 Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
10 Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin’ ny lavaka Hianao. (Sheol h7585)
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
