Salamo 16
1 Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2 Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3 Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
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 infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
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 hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest 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)
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one 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 hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
