Salamo 16
1 Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] 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 griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
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 do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give 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 cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
