< Salamo 37 >

1 Ko embetse amo tsivokatseo, vaho ko tsikirihe’o o mpanao ratio,
A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 F’ie hiforejeje aniany hoe ahetse, vaho hiheatse hoe rongo-maindoñe.
For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3 Miatoa am’ Iehovà, le anò ty soa; imoneño i taney vaho rañeto ty figahiñañe.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
4 Mifalea am’ Iehovà; le hatolo’e azo ty fisalalàn’ arofo’o.
So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
5 Ampiatò am’ Iehovà ty fombà’o, Atokiso, vaho ie ty hitoloñe.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; 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 right as the noonday.
7 Manintsiña am’ Iehovà naho mahaliñisa; ko ihobira’o ty miraorao an-tsata’e, t’indaty mitoloñ’ am-pikitrohan-dratio.
Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth 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 tendeth only to evil-doing.
9 Toe haitoañe o tsy vokatseo, fa handova i taney ze mitamà Iehovà.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, 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.
And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
11 Toe handova i Taney o tretram-poo, hifale am-piraoraoañe vokatse.
But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Kililie’ i lo-tsereke ty vantañe, vaho ampikodrita’e nife.
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
13 Iankahafa’ i Talè, fa arofoana’e te an-­titotse ty andro’e.
The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth 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 slay 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 hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 Toe ho pozaheñe ty sira’ o lo-tserekeo, fe tohaña’ Iehovà o vañoñeo.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 Arofoana’ Iehovà ty andro’ o vantañeo, tsy ho modo kitro añ’afe’e ty lova’iareo;
The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Tsy ho salatse an-tsan-karatiañe; le ho anjañe an-tsam-paosa.
They shall not be ashamed 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.
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
21 Misongo i tsivokatsey fe tsy mañavake; matarike i vantañey vaho mañomey.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22 Toe handova i taney o tahie’eo, fe haitoañe añe o afà’eo.
For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
23 Ampijadoña’ Iehovà ty lia’ ondaty, ie no’e i lala’ey.
It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted 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 the LORD upholdeth 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 have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 Matarike lomoñandro re naho mampisongo, vaho vokatse o tiri’eo.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; 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 the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; 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 therein for ever.
30 Mañaka-kihitse ty falie’ o vantañeo, manao saontsi-to i famele’ey.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh 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 slide.
32 Tampone’ ty tsivokatse ty vantañe, mipay hañè-doza ama’e.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 Fe tsy hapo’ Iehovà an-taña’e ao, vaho tsy hado’e hafàtse an-jaka.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned 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 the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 Fa nitreako ty lahiaga, tsivoatsolo, nandrevake hoe hatae maindoñe an-tane’e ao;
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
36 Fe nihelañe añe, le heheke, tsy eo; pinaiko fa tsy nahatrea.
But one 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 man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 Fe hatrao-­karotsake o mpandilatseo vaho ho tomereñe ty figadoña’ ty lo-tsereke.
But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future 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 the LORD; 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 the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
