Salamo 16
1 Tambozoro iraho, ry Andrianañahare, toe ama’o ty fitsolohako.
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
2 Ty hoe ty tinaroko am’ Iehovà: Ihe ro Talèko, izaho tsy aman-kasoa naho tsy ama’o.
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
3 O noro’e an-tane atoio: ie ro talango’e, toe mampinembanembañe ahiko.
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with 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.
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
5 Iehovà ro anjara-lovako naho ty fitoviko. Tohañe’o ty navike ho ahiko.
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
6 An-toetse fanjaka ty nipoha’ o taly ho ahikoo; Eka, soa i lovakoy.
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
7 Andriañeko t’Iehovà mpamere ahiko, ie haleñe, anare’ ty troko.
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
8 Najadoko aoloko nainai’e t’Iehovà. Ie ty an-tañako havana eo, tsy higavingaviñe.
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
9 Aa le tsy mahay avao ty troko, vaho mirebeke ty havokarako; mierañerañe ka ty sandriko,
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
10 amy te tsy hapo’o an-tsikeokeok’ ao ty fiaiko, vaho tsy hado’o hahaoni-pihomahañe i Masi’oy. (Sheol h7585)
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ampaharofoana’o ahiko ty lalan-kaveloñe; lifotse hafaleañe ty añatrefa’o; haravoravoañe nainai’e ro am-pitàn-kavana’o.
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
