Salamo 16
1 Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
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.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
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 tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
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 You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
