Salamo 25
1 Nataon’ i Davida.
Yahweh, my God, I give myself to you.
2 Andriamanitro ô, Hianao no itokiako, aoka tsy ho menatra aho; aoka tsy hifalian’ ny fahavaloko aho.
I trust in you. Do not allow my enemies [to defeat me], with the result that I would be ashamed/disgraced. Do not allow my enemies to defeat/conquer me, with the result that they would rejoice.
3 Eny, tsy hisy ho menatra izay rehetra miandry Anao; fa izay mivadika foana no ho menatra.
Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced. Cause those who (act treacherously toward/try to deceive) others to be disappointed/disgraced.
4 Ampahafantaro ny lalanao aho, Jehovah ô; ampianaro ny sitrakao aho.
Yahweh, show me the way that I should (conduct my life/live as you want me to), teach me how to act in the manner that you want me to act/behave.
5 Tariho amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho, ka ampianaro; fa Hianao no Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy; Hianao no andrasako mandritra ny andro.
Teach me to conduct my life [by obeying] your truth because you are my God, the one who saves me. All the time I trust in you.
6 Tsarovy ny antranao sy ny indrafonao, Jehovah ô, fa hatrizay hatrizay ireny.
Yahweh, do not forget how you have acted mercifully to me and have faithfully loved me; that is the way that you have acted toward me from long ago.
7 Aza ny fahotan’ ny fahatanorako, na ny ratsy nataoko, no tsarovanao; fa aoka ho araka ny famindram-ponao no hahatsiarovanao ahy, noho ny fahasoavanao Jehovah ô,
Forgive me for all the sinful things I did and the ways that I rebelled against you when I was young; I ask this because you faithfully love your people and do good things for them, Yahweh, do not forget me!
8 Tsara sy mahitsy Jehovah, ka izany no ampianarany ny mpanota ny lalana.
Yahweh is good and fair/just; therefore he shows sinners (how they should conduct their lives/how to live as you want them to).
9 Mitarika ny mpandefitra amin’ ny marina Izy, ary mampianatra ny mpandefitra ny lalany.
He shows humble people what is right for them to do and teaches them what he wants [them to do].
10 Ny lalan’ i Jehovah rehetra dia famindram-po sy fahamarinana amin’ izay mitandrina ny fanekeny sy ny teni-vavolombelony.
He always faithfully loves and does what he has promised to those who keep his agreement with them and who do what he requires.
11 Noho ny anaranao, Jehovah ô, dia mamelà ny heloko, fa lehibe izany.
Yahweh, forgive me for all my sins, which are many, in order that I may honor you [MTY].
12 Iza no lehilahy matahotra an’ i Jehovah? Izy no hampianariny izay lalana tokony hofidiny.
To all those who revere you [RHQ], you show them the (right way to conduct their lives/things that they should do).
13 Ny fanahiny hitoetra amin’ ny soa; ary ny taranany handova ny tany.
They will always be prosperous, and their descendants will continue to live in [this] land.
14 Ny fisainan’ i Jehovah asehony amin’ izay matahotra Azy, ary ny fanekeny no hampahafantariny azy.
Yahweh is a friend of those who have an awesome respect for him, and he teaches them the agreement that he [made with them].
15 Ny masoko mijery an’ i Jehovah mandrakariva; fa Izy no nanafaka ny tongotro tamin’ ny fandrika harato.
I always ask [MTY] Yahweh to help me, and he rescues me from danger [MET].
16 Todiho aho, ka amindrao fo, fa irery aho ka mahantra.
Yahweh, pay attention to me and be merciful to me, because I am alone, and I am very distressed because I am suffering/oppressed.
17 Ny fahorian’ ny foko efa mihalehibe; afaho amin’ ny fahatereko aho.
Help me to not worry, and rescue me from my troubles.
18 Jereo ny fahoriako sy ny mavesatra amiko, ka mamelà ny fahotako rehetra.
Note that I am distressed and troubled [DOU], and forgive [me for] all my sins.
19 Jereo ny fahavaloko, fa maro izy; ary loza ny fankahalàny ahy.
Also note that I have many enemies, see that they hate me very much.
20 Arovy ny fanahiko, ka vonjeo aho; aoka tsy ho menatra aho, fa mialoka aminao.
Protect me, and rescue me from them; do not allow [them to defeat me], [with the result that] I would be ashamed/disgraced; I have come to you to (get refuge/be safe).
21 Aoka ny tsi-fisian-tsiny sy ny fahitsiana no hiaro ahy; fa miandry Anao aho.
Protect me because I do what is good and honest/just [PRS], and because I trust in you.
22 Andriamanitra ô, afaho ny Isiraely, amin’ ny fahoriany rehetra.
God, rescue [us] Israeli people from all of our troubles!
