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;

[God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

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

Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, 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.

They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

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

But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

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

Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

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

because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].
