Salamo 5

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny sodina. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah ô, henoy ny teniko; fantaro ny eritreritro.

To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my (meditation)

2 Henoy ny feon’ ny fitarainako, ry Mpanjakako sy Andriamanitro ô; fa Hianao no ivavahako.

Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

3 Jehovah ô, maraina no handrenesanao ny feoko; maraina no hivavahako aminao, ka hanandrandra aho.

Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

4 Fa tsy Andriamanitra mankasitraka izay ratsy Hianao; tsy hitoetra aminao ny ratsy.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5 Tsy hahazo mijanona eo imasonao ny mpirehareha; halanao ny mpanao ratsy rehetra.

Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Haringanao ny mpiteny lainga; ny olona mpandatsa-drà sy mpamitaka dia ataon’ i Jehovah ho zava-betaveta.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

7 Fa izaho kosa noho ny haben’ ny famindram-ponao dia hiditra ao an-tranonao; hiankohoka manatrika ny lapanao masìna amin’ ny fahatahorana anao aho.

But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

8 Jehovah ô, tariho amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho noho ny amin’ ny mpampahory ahy; ataovy marina eo anoloako ny lalanao.

Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

9 Fa tsy misy azo itokiana ny aloaky ny vavany; ny ao anatiny dia tena faharatsiana; fasana misokatra ny tendany. Mandambolambo ny lelany izy.

For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Helohy izy, Andriamanitra ô; Aoka ho lavon’ ny saina ataony izy; Roahy izy noho ny haben’ ny fahotany, satria efa niodina taminao.

Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

11 Dia hifaly izay rehetra mialoka aminao, hihoby mandrakariva izy, koa miarova azy Hianao; ka dia ho ravoravo aminao izay tia ny anaranao.

And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

12 Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, mitahy ny marina; fankasitrahana no ataonao manodidina azy toy ny ampinga lehibe.

For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.
