Salamo 37
1 Ko embetse amo tsivokatseo, vaho ko tsikirihe’o o mpanao ratio,
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, nor be thou envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2 F’ie hiforejeje aniany hoe ahetse, vaho hiheatse hoe rongo-maindoñe.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Miatoa am’ Iehovà, le anò ty soa; imoneño i taney vaho rañeto ty figahiñañe.
Trust in Jehovah, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.
4 Mifalea am’ Iehovà; le hatolo’e azo ty fisalalàn’ arofo’o.
Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5 Ampiatò am’ Iehovà ty fombà’o, Atokiso, vaho ie ty hitoloñe.
Commit thy way to Jehovah. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
6 Le hampionjone’e hoe hazavàñe ty havantaña’o, vaho hoe an-tsipinde-mena ty havañona’o.
And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noon-day.
7 Manintsiña am’ Iehovà naho mahaliñisa; ko ihobira’o ty miraorao an-tsata’e, t’indaty mitoloñ’ am-pikitrohan-dratio.
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
8 Fario o habosehañeo, naho apoho ty fombo; ko embetse kera hañosi-karatiañe.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.
9 Toe haitoañe o tsy vokatseo, fa handova i taney ze mitamà Iehovà.
For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
10 Aniany le tsy ho eo i lo-tserekey, ho tsoehe’o i akiba’ey f’ie tsy ho trea.
For yet a little while, and the wicked man shall not be. Yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
11 Toe handova i Taney o tretram-poo, hifale am-piraoraoañe vokatse.
But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Kililie’ i lo-tsereke ty vantañe, vaho ampikodrita’e nife.
The wicked man plots against the righteous man, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
13 Iankahafa’ i Talè, fa arofoana’e te an-titotse ty andro’e.
The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 Fa napontsoa’ o tsivokatseo ty fibara, vaho nampibitsoke fale hametsaha’e ambane o rarakeo naho o misotrio, hañohofa’e loza amo an-dala mahitio.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.
15 Hitrofaha’ i fibaray ty tro’ iareo, vaho ho pekañeñe ty fale’ iareo.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Hamake ty kedekedek’ anaña’ ty vantañe ta ty havokara’ o tsivokatse maroo.
Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.
17 Toe ho pozaheñe ty sira’ o lo-tserekeo, fe tohaña’ Iehovà o vañoñeo.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholds the righteous.
18 Arofoana’ Iehovà ty andro’ o vantañeo, tsy ho modo kitro añ’afe’e ty lova’iareo;
Jehovah knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.
19 Tsy ho salatse an-tsan-karatiañe; le ho anjañe an-tsam-paosa.
They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Hikoromake o tsy vokatseo, le hanahake ty safon’ añondry o rafelahi’ Iehovào, ie himosaoñe an-katòeñe, toe himiañe.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah is as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.
21 Misongo i tsivokatsey fe tsy mañavake; matarike i vantañey vaho mañomey.
The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.
22 Toe handova i taney o tahie’eo, fe haitoañe añe o afà’eo.
For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 Ampijadoña’ Iehovà ty lia’ ondaty, ie no’e i lala’ey.
A man's goings are established by Jehovah, and he delights in his way.
24 Ndra t’ie mikorovoke tsy hidaboñe, fa tohaña’ Iehovà am-pitàñe.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholds him with his hand.
25 Nitora’e iraho, fa antetse henaneo, mboe liako tsy nahatrea te naforintseñe o vañoñeo, te nangata-kaneñe o keleia’eo.
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 Matarike lomoñandro re naho mampisongo, vaho vokatse o tiri’eo.
All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.
27 Ihankaño ty raty, le anò ty soa, vaho himoneñe kitro añ’afe’e.
Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore.
28 Tea’ Iehovà ty hatò, le tsy ho farie’e o mpañorike i Ha’eio; soa-fipalitse nainai’e iereo; fe haitoañe ty tiri’ o lo-tserekeo.
For Jehovah loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Handova i taney o vañoñeo, vaho himoneñe nainai’e.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.
30 Mañaka-kihitse ty falie’ o vantañeo, manao saontsi-to i famele’ey.
The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
31 Añ’arofo’e ao ty Hàn’Añahare’e, tsy midorasitse o fandia’eo.
The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
32 Tampone’ ty tsivokatse ty vantañe, mipay hañè-doza ama’e.
A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.
33 Fe tsy hapo’ Iehovà an-taña’e ao, vaho tsy hado’e hafàtse an-jaka.
Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Itamao t’Iehovà, naho ambeno i lala’ey, le honjone’e handova i taney, vaho ho isa’o ty fañitoañe o tsivokatseo.
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.
35 Fa nitreako ty lahiaga, tsivoatsolo, nandrevake hoe hatae maindoñe an-tane’e ao;
I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 Fe nihelañe añe, le heheke, tsy eo; pinaiko fa tsy nahatrea.
But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Henteo ty vañoñe, hehe i vantañey, ho soa-figadoñe ty mifampilongo.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a happy end to the man of peace.
38 Fe hatrao-karotsake o mpandilatseo vaho ho tomereñe ty figadoña’ ty lo-tsereke.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Boak’ am’ Iehovà ty fandrombahañe o vañoñeo, Ie ty fitsoloha’ iareo an-tsàm-poheke.
But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,
40 Imbàe’ Iehovà naho votsore’e; haha’e amo tsivokatseo vaho rombahe’e, amy te Ie ty fipalira’ iareo.
and Jehovah helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
