Salamo 16
1 Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
2 Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
3 O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
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 weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
5 Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
6 An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
7 Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
8 Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
9 Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall 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)
because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ampaharofoana’o ahiko ty lalan-kaveloñe; lifotse hafaleañe ty añatrefa’o; haravoravoañe nainai’e ro am-pitàn-kavana’o.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
