Salamo 36
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah. Ny ota milaza ato am-poko ny amin’ ny ratsy fanahy hoe: tsy misy fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra ao aminy.
The transgression of the wicked man says within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Fa miarahaba tena izy ny amin’ ny tsy hahitana ny helony ka hankahalana azy.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.
3 Ny tenin’ ny vavany dia faharatsiana sy fitaka; efa nihadala izy ka nitsahatra tsy hanao soa.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 Faharatsiana no saintsaininy eo am-pandriany; mitsangana eo amin’ ny lalana tsy mety izy; ny ratsy tsy mba laviny akory.
He devises iniquity upon his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.
5 Jehovah ô, mipaka amin’ ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; mihatra amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.
Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens, thy faithfulness to the skies.
6 Ny fahamarinanao dia tahaka ny tendrombohitra avo dia avo; ny fitsaranao dia toy ny lalina indrindra; ny olona sy ny biby dia samy vonjenao, Jehovah ô,
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God. Thy judgments are a great deep. O Jehovah, thou preserve man and beast.
7 Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny famindram-ponao, Andriamanitra ô! ka mialoka eo amin’ ny aloky ny elatrao ny zanak’ olombelona.
How precious is thy loving kindness, O God, and the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Voky ny matavy ao an-tranonao izy; ary ny ony fampifalianao no ampisotroanao azy.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou will make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Fa ao aminao no misy loharanon’ aina; ny fahazavanao no hahitanay fahazavana.
For with thee is the fountain of life. In thy light we shall see light.
10 Ampahareto amin’ izay mahalala Anao ny famindram-ponao, ary ny fahamarinanao amin’ ny mahitsy fo.
O continue thy loving kindness to those who know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Aoka tsy hanitsaka ahy ny tongotry ny mpiavonavona, na hampandositra ahy ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners drive me away.
12 Indreo! efa lavo ny mpanao ratsy; naripaka izy ka tsy maharina.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
