Salamo 16
1 Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
3 O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
4 Hampitomboeñe ty hasotria’ ze mihitrike mb’an-tsamposampo’e añe; tsy hailiko ty engan-dranon-dio’iareo, le tsy ho rambesen-tsoñiko o añara’ iareoo.
Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
5 Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
10 amy te tsy hapo’o an-tsikeokeok’ ao ty fiaiko, vaho tsy hado’o hahaoni-pihomahañe i Masi’oy. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ampaharofoana’o ahiko ty lalan-kaveloñe; lifotse hafaleañe ty añatrefa’o; haravoravoañe nainai’e ro am-pitàn-kavana’o.
You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
