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.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
2 Fa miarahaba tena izy ny amin’ ny tsy hahitana ny helony ka hankahalana azy.
For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
3 Ny tenin’ ny vavany dia faharatsiana sy fitaka; efa nihadala izy ka nitsahatra tsy hanao soa.
His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
4 Faharatsiana no saintsaininy eo am-pandriany; mitsangana eo amin’ ny lalana tsy mety izy; ny ratsy tsy mba laviny akory.
While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
5 Jehovah ô, mipaka amin’ ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; mihatra amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
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,
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
7 Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny famindram-ponao, Andriamanitra ô! ka mialoka eo amin’ ny aloky ny elatrao ny zanak’ olombelona.
How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 Voky ny matavy ao an-tranonao izy; ary ny ony fampifalianao no ampisotroanao azy.
They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
9 Fa ao aminao no misy loharanon’ aina; ny fahazavanao no hahitanay fahazavana.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
10 Ampahareto amin’ izay mahalala Anao ny famindram-ponao, ary ny fahamarinanao amin’ ny mahitsy fo.
Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
11 Aoka tsy hanitsaka ahy ny tongotry ny mpiavonavona, na hampandositra ahy ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Indreo! efa lavo ny mpanao ratsy; naripaka izy ka tsy maharina.
Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
