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 Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my (meditation)

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

Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.

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

Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

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

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

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

The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

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

You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

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 abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

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

Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

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 faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. 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.

Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, 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 let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

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

For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
