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.

For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

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

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

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

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

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

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

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 strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,

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

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

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

But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever 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 praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
