< Salamo 26 >
1 Meo to iraho, ry Iehovà, fa mitrantràñe ami’ty havañonako; tsy nifejofejo ty fiatoako am’ Iehovà, vaho tsy hasiotse iraho.
Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.
2 Biribirio iraho ry Iehovà vaho tsoho; hotsohotsò ty añ’ovako naho an-troko.
Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
3 Aolo’ o masokoo ty fiferenaiña’o, vaho manjotik’ amo figahiña’oo iraho.
For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
4 Tsy fitraofako toboke o mpamañahio, naho tsy fiharoako fijelanjelañe o soamiatrekeo.
I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
5 Hejeko ty fifañosoña’ o tsivokatseo, vaho tsy fitraofako toboke o lo-tserekeo.
I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
6 Hanasa tañañ’ an-kalio tahin-draho, vaho harikohoeko ty kitreli’o ry Iehovà,
I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
7 Ho poñafeko ty feom-pañandriañañe, ho talilieko iaby o fitoloña’o fanjakao.
That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
8 Ry Iehovà, teako ty fimoneñañe añ’anjomba’o ao, naho i kivoho fañialoañ’ enge’oy.
Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
9 Ko aharo’o fitontoñe amo mpanan-kakeoo ty troko, ndra ty fiaiko am’ondaty mampiori-dioo;
Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
10 o mitan-kilily an-taña’eo, ie pea vokàñe ty an-taña’e havana ao;
In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
11 Aa naho izaho, hitsontik’ an-kalio-tahiko; jebaño, vaho matariha amako.
But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
12 Mijohañe an-tane mira ty tomboko; andriañeko am-pivory ao t’Iehovà.
I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
