Salamo 16
1 Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
“A Michtham of David.” Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
2 Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
[O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
3 O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
[But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them 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.
Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon my lips.
5 Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
6 An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
7 Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
8 Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
9 Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
10 amy te tsy hapo’o an-tsikeokeok’ ao ty fiaiko, vaho tsy hado’o hahaoni-pihomahañe i Masi’oy. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] 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.
Thou wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand for evermore.
