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 musician, a Maskil of David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Achimelech.” What vauntest thou thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? the kindness of God endureth all the time.

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

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs, like a sharpened razor, thou worker of deceit.

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

Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

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

Thou lovest all words of destruction, the tongue of deceit.

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)

[Therefore] God will also destroy thee for ever: he will take thee away, and pluck thee out of his tent, and root thee out of the land of life. (Selah)

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

And the righteous shall see it, and they will be afraid, and laugh concerning him:

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

“Lo, this is the man that made not God his fortress; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, relied proudly on his mischievous wickedness.”

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 green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the kindness of God 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 thank thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for [it is] good, before thy pious ones.
