Salamo 52

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Maskila nataon’ i Davida, fony tonga Doega Edomita ka nilaza tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Davida dia efa tonga ao an-tranon’ i Ahimeleka. Nahoana no mandoka tena amin’ ny haratsiana ianao, ry ilay mahery? Ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitra maharitra mandrakariva.

To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

2 Loza no heverin’ ny lelanao, tahaka ny hareza maranitra, ry mpanao fitaka.

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

3 Efa tia ny ratsy noho ny tsara ianao, ary ny lainga noho ny miteny ny marina. (Sela)

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

4 Ny teny mandripaka rehetra no tianao, ry lela mamitaka.

Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

5 Andriamanitra kosa hanimba anao mandrakizay; hisambotra anao sy hanongotra anao hiala ao an-day Izy, ary hamongotra anao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona. (Sela)

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Ny marina hijery, dia hatahotra ka hihomehy azy hoe:

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

7 Indro, ny lehilahy izay tsy nanao an’ Andriamanitra ho heriny; fa natoky ny haben’ ny hareny ka nikikitra tamin’ ny faharatsiany.

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

8 Fa izaho dia tahaka ny hazo oliva maitso ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra. Matoky ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitra mandrakizay doria aho.

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

9 Hidera Anao mandrakizay aho, fa efa nataonao izany; ary hiandry ny anaranao eo anatrehan’ ny olonao masìna aho, fa tsara izany.

I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
