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;

Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate 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.

And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

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

Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

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

Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

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

For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
