Salamo 1

1 Sambatra ny olona izay tsy mandeha eo amin’ ny fisainan’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary tsy mijanona eo amin’ ny lalana falehan’ ny mpanota, ary tsy mipetraka eo amin’ ny fipetrahan’ ny mpaniratsira;

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 Fa ny lalàn’ i Jehovah no sitrany; eny ny lalàny no saintsaininy andro aman’ alina.

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

3 Dia tahaka ny hazo ambolena eo amoron’ ny rano velona izy, izay mamoa amin’ ny fotoany, ny raviny koa tsy mba malazo; ary ny asany rehetra dia ataony lavorary avokoa.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

4 Fa tsy mba toy izany ny ratsy fanahy fa toy ny akofa aelin’ ny rivotra izy.

Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

5 Ary noho izany ny ratsy fanahy dia tsy hahajanona eo amin’ ny fitsarana, na ny mpanota eo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny marina.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 Fa fantatr’ i Jehovah ny lalan’ ny marina, fa ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa dia mankany amin’ ny fahaverezana.

For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
