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.
Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s chesed ·loving-kindness· endures continually.
2 Loza no heverin’ ny lelanao, tahaka ny hareza maranitra, ry mpanao fitaka.
Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Efa tia ny ratsy noho ny tsara ianao, ary ny lainga noho ny miteny ny marina. (Sela)
You 'ahavta ·affectionately love· evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
4 Ny teny mandripaka rehetra no tianao, ry lela mamitaka.
You 'ahavta ·affectionately love· all devouring words, you deceitful 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)
God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
6 Ny marina hijery, dia hatahotra ka hihomehy azy hoe:
The upright also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7 Indro, ny lehilahy izay tsy nanao an’ Andriamanitra ho heriny; fa natoky ny haben’ ny hareny ka nikikitra tamin’ ny faharatsiany.
“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
8 Fa izaho dia tahaka ny hazo oliva maitso ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra. Matoky ny famindram-pon’ Andriamanitra mandrakizay doria aho.
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s chesed ·loving-kindness· 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 yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
