Salamo 1

1 Haha t’indaty tsy mañavelo am-panoroa’ o lo-tserekeo, naho tsy mijohañe an-dala’ o beihakeoo, vaho tsy miambesatse am- pitoboha’ o mpañinjeo;

Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

2 Fa ty Hà’ Iehovà ro mampinembanembañ’ aze, ninihe’e handro an-kaleñe i Hà’ey

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

3 Ie ho hambañe aman-katae namboleñe añ’olon-torahañe eo, mamoa an-tsa’e naho tsy miheatse o rave’eo, miraorao ze hene anoe’e.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

4 Tsy manahake Izay o lo-tserekeo, fa hambañe amo kafokafo aboelen-tiokeo.

The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

5 Toly ndra tsy haha-fitroatse amy zakay o tsivokatseo, ndra ami’ty fivori’ o vañoñeo o mpanan-tahiñeo.

For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

6 Arofoana’ Iehovà ty fañaveloa’ o vantañeo, fe ho modo ty fandenà’ o tsivoatsoloo.

Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
