Salamo 19
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Ny lanitra mitory ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra; ary ny habakabaka manambara ny asan’ ny tànany.
For the music director. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God's glory; the skies above announce what he has made.
2 Ny andro samy miteny amin’ ny andro mandimby azy, ary ny alina samy manolo-pahalalana amin’ ny alina mandimby azy.
Each day speaks constantly about God's glory to the next day; each night shares knowledge of God with the next night.
3 Tsy misy teny na fiteny anefa; tsy re izay feony.
They speak without speech or words; their voice is not audible;
4 Efa nivoaka ho any amin’ ny tany rehetra ny famolainany, ary ny teniny dia mihatra amin’ ny faran’ izao rehetra izao. Trano-lay ho an’ ny masoandro no nataony teo aminy;
Yet what they say is heard all over the earth; their message goes to the whole world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
5 Ary ny masoandro dia tahaka ny mpampaka-bady mivoaka avy ao an-trano fandriany; sady mifaly tahaka ny lehilahy matanjaka mihazakazaka amin’ ny alehany izy.
It's like a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a fit athlete happy to run a race.
6 Any amin’ ny faravodilanitra ny fiposahany, ary ny alehany dia hatramin’ ny farany koa, ka tsy misy takona amin’ ny hafanany.
It rises on one side of the heavens and travels across to the other. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 Tsy misy tsiny ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, mamelombelona ny fanahy; mahatoky ny teni-vavolombelon’ i Jehovah, mahahendry ny kely saina.
The Lord's law is beneficial, renewing spiritual life. The Lord's teaching is trustworthy, making inexperienced people wise.
8 Mahitsy ny fandidian’ i Jehovah, mahafaly ny fo; madio ny didin’ i Jehovah, mampahazava ny maso.
The Lord's instructions are right, making people glad. The Lord's commandments are sincere, helping people see what is good.
9 Madio ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah, maharitra mandrakizay; marina ny fitsipik’ i Jehovah, eny, mahitsy avokoa.
Reverence for the Lord is right, and lasts forever. The Lord's judgments are both true and fair.
10 Irina noho ny volamena ireny, eny, noho ny tena volamena betsaka aza; ary mamy noho ny tantely, eny, noho ny tantely mitete avy amin’ ny tohotra.
They are more to be valued than gold, even the finest gold; they are sweeter than honey, even the purest honey coming straight from the honeycomb.
11 Ary ny mpanomponao dia hazavain’ ireny; amin’ ny fitandremana azy misy valiny lehibe.
They also warn your servant. By keeping them I'm richly rewarded.
12 Raha ny fahatsontsana, dia iza re no mahalala izany? ataovy tsy manan-tsiny aho ny amin’ izay ota tsy fantatra.
Who's aware of their own mistakes? Don't punish me for these faults I'm unaware of.
13 Arovy ny mpanomponao tsy ho azon’ ny ota sahisahy; aoka tsy hanapaka ahy izany; dia ho marina tokoa aho ka tsy hanan-tsiny ny amin’ izay fahadisoana lehibe.
Don't let your servant commit deliberate sins. Don't let them rule over me. Then I will be without fault, innocent of such rebellion.
14 Aoka ny tenin’ ny vavako sy ny fisainan’ ny foko samy hankasitrahana eo imasonao, Jehovah ô, Vatolampiko sy Mpanavotra ahy.
May you be pleased with the words I speak, and the thoughts I think, Lord my rock and my redeemer.
