Salamo 26

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.

2 Diniho aho, Jehovah ô, ka fantaro; izahao toetra ny voako sy ny foko.

Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

3 Fa ny famindram-ponao no eo anoloan’ ny masoko; ary mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho.

For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

4 Tsy mba miara-mipetraka amin’ ny olon-dratsy aho, na manan-draharaha amin’ ny olom-petsy.

I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

5 Halako ny fiangonan’ ny mpanao ratsy; ary tsy miara-mipetraka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy aho.

I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

6 Manasa ny tanako noho ny fahamarinako aho, ka te-hitoetra eo akaikin’ ny alitaranao, Jehovah ô,

I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

7 Mba hanao feo fiderana, ka hilaza ny asanao mahagaga rehetra.

singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

8 Jehovah ô, tiako ny trano itoeranao, dia ny fonenan’ ny voninahitrao.

Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

9 Aza mitondra ny fanahiko hiara-maty amin’ ny mpanota, na ny aiko amin’ ny mpandatsa-drà,

Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

10 Izay misy fitaka eny an-tànany, ary feno kolikoly ny tànany ankavanana.

whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

11 Fa izaho kosa dia mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinako; avoty sy amindrao fo aho.

For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

12 Ny tongotro mijoro eo amin’ ny tany marina; eo am-piangonana no isaorako an’ i Jehovah.

I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
