Salamo 37
1 Nataon’ i Davida.
A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 Fa hojinjana faingana tahaka ny ahitra izy ka halazo tahaka ny ahi-maitso.
For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3 Matokia an’ i Jehovah ianao, ka manaova soa, dia honina amin’ ny tany ianao ka ho faly amin’ ny fahamarinana.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
4 Ary miravoravoa amin’ i Jehovah ianao, dia homeny anao izay irin’ ny fonao.
So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
5 Ankino amin’ i Jehovah ny lalanao, ary matokia Azy, fa hataony tanteraka.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
6 Ary hampiseho ny fahamarinanao tahaka ny mazava Izy, ary ny rariny ho anao tahaka ny mitataovovonana.
And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
7 Miantombena tsara miandry an’ i Jehovah ianao ka manantenà Azy; Aza tezitra amin’ izay ambinina amin’ ny lalany dia amin’ izay olona manao sain-dratsy.
Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Mitsahara amin’ ny fahatezerana, ary mahafoiza ny fahavinirana; aoka tsy hirehitra ny fahatezeranao; fa ratsy no hiafaran’ izany.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
9 Fa ny mpanao ratsy hofongoro-na; Ary izay miandry an’ i Jehovah no handova ny tany.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
10 Fa rehefa afaka kelikely, dia tsy hisy ny ratsy fanahy; Handinika ny fonenany ianao, fa tsy ho hita izy.
And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
11 Fa ny mpandefitra kosa no handova ny tany ka hiravoravo amin’ ny haben’ ny fiadanana.
But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Ny ratsy fanahy manao hevi-dratsy hamelezana ny maraina ka mihidy vazana aminy.
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
13 Ny tompo mihomehy azy, satria hitany fa ho tonga ny androny.
The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
14 Ny ratsy fanahy nampitsoaka ny sabany ka nanenjana ny tsipìkany mba hampikarapoka ny ory sy ny malahelo, ary hamono ny mahitsy lalana.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
15 Ny sabany hitsatoka amin’ ny fony ihany, ary ny tsipìkany ho tapatapaka.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Tsara lavitra ny kely ananan’ ny ratsy fanahy maro.
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 Fa ny sandrin’ ny ratsy fanahy ho tapatapaka; Fa Jehovah manohana ny marina.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 Fantatr’ i Jehovah ny andron’ ny mahitsy; Ary ny lovany ho mandrakizay.
The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Tsy mba ho menatra amin’ ny andro fahoriana ireny; ary amin’ ny taona mosarena dia ho voky izy.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Fa ny ratsy fanahy haringana, ary ny fahavalon’ i Jehovah ho tahaka ny voninahitry ny saha; Ho levona izy, eny, ho levon-ko setroka izy.
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
21 Misambotra ny ratsy fanahy, nefa tsy manohitra; Fa ny marina kosa mamindra fo ka manome.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22 Fa izay tahìny no handova ny tany; Ary izay ozoniny kosa no hofongorana.
For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
23 Avy amin’ i Jehovah no mahalavorary ny dian’ ny olona, ka Izy no mankasitraka ny lalany.
It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
24 Na dia lavo aza izy, tsy dia mikarapoka, fa Jehovah no mitantana azy.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
25 Efa mba tanora ihany aho, ary efa antitra ankehitriny; Fa tsy mbola hitako mangataka hanina.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 Miantra mandrakariva ireny ka mampisambotra; ary ny taranany hotahina.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Halaviro ny ratsy, ka manaova soa. Dia honina mandrakizay ianao.
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 Fa Jehovah tia rariny sady tsy hahafoy ny olony masìna; Harovana mandrakizay ireo; Fa taranaky ny ratsy fanahy hofongorana,
For the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Ny marina handova ny tany Ka honina ao aminy mandrakizay
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Ny vavan’ ny marina miresaka fahendrena, Ary ny lelany manambara ny rariny.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
31 Ny lalàn’ Andriamaniny no ao am-pony; Tsy mba ho solafaka ny diany.
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
32 Mitsikilo ny marina ny ratsy fanahy ka mitady hahafaty azy.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 Jehovah tsy hahafoy azy eo an-tanany. Na hanameloka azy, raha tsaraina izy.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
34 Miandrasa an’ i Jehovah, ka tandremo ny lalàny, dia hanandratra anao handova ny tany Izy; Ho faly hahita ny hamongorana ny ratsy fanahy ianao.
Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 Efa hitako ny ratsy fanahy, fa loza loatra izy, ary nandrahaka tahaka ny hazo maitso maniry ho azy;
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
36 Kanjo nandalo izy ka, indro, tsy teo intsony; Ary nitady azy ka, tsy hita izy.
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Diniho ny mahitsy, ka jereo ny marina; Fa misy farany ho an’ ny olona tia fihavanana.
Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 Fa ny mpanota haringana avokoa; Ny hihafaran’ ny ratsy fanahy ho fongotra.
But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Fa ny famonjena ny marina dia avy amin’ i Jehovah; Fiarovana mafy ho azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana Izy.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 Ary Jehovah mamonjy azy sy manafaka azy; eny, manafaka azy amin’ ny ratsy fanahy Izy ka mamonjy azy, satria nialoka taminy izy.
And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
