Salamo 53

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-mahalath. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Ny adala manao anakampo hoe: tsy misy Andriamanitra. Manao izay ratsy sy vetaveta izy, tsy misy manao ny tsara.

to/for to conduct upon Mahalath Maskil to/for David to say foolish in/on/with heart his nothing God to ruin and to abhor injustice nothing to make: do good

2 Eny an-danitra Andriamanitra miondrika mijery ny zanak’ olombelona, mba hizaha na misy hendry mitady an’ Andriamanitra.

God from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

3 Samy efa nivily izy rehetra ka tonga vetaveta avokoa; tsy misy manao ny tsara, na dia iray akory aza.

all his to turn together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

4 Tsy mahalala va ny mpanao ratsy, izay mihinana ny oloko toy ny fihinan-kanina, ary Andriamanitra tsy antsoiny?

not to know to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread God not to call: call to

5 Indreo, matahotra dia matahotra ireny, nefa tsy nisy tokony hatahorany; fa Andriamanitra efa nanely ny taolan’ izay nitoby hamely anao; nampahamenatra azy ianao, satria efa narian’ Andriamanitra izy.

there to dread dread not to be dread for God to scatter bone to camp you be ashamed for God to reject them

6 Enga anie ka hivoaka avy ao Ziona ny famonjena ny Isiraely! raha ampodin’ Andriamanitra avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny olony, dia ho faly Jakoba, ary ho ravoravo Isiraely.

who? to give: if only! from Zion salvation Israel in/on/with to return: rescue God captivity people his to rejoice Jacob to rejoice Israel
