Salamo 5

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

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

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

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

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

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

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

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

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

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

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

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

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 because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

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

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to 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.

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

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

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

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

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

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

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
