< Salamo 16 >

1 Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
Preserve me, O God: for in you do I put my trust.
2 Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
O my soul, you have said to the LORD, You are my Lord: my goodness extends not to you;
3 Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to 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 that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into 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: you 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; yes, I have a goodly 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 the LORD, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
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 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 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)
For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your 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.
You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more.
