Salamo 52

1 O Fanalolahio, ino ty firoharohà’o hatsivokarañe? Lomoñandro ty ­fiferenaiñan’ Añahare.

For the Leader. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

2 Mikilily ­fandrotsahañe ty famele’o, manahake ty fiharatse masioñe; ty mpamañahy tia.

Thy tongue deviseth destruction; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 Tea’o ty raty te ami’ty soa; i lañitsey ta te hivolan-to. Selà

Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 No’o ze atao fivolan-katramoañe, ty fameleke mamañahy tia.

Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue.

5 Aa le harotsan’Añahare kitro-katroke, ho sintone’e, le hapitso’e amy kiboho’oy, vaho hombota’e an-tanen-kaveloñe. Selà

God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Ho isa’ o vantañeo, naho hañeveñe vaho hiankahake ty hoe:

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

7 Hehe t’indaty tsy nanao an’Andrianañahare ho fipalira’e; fe ty habei’ o vara’eo ty niatoa’e, vaho o fikinia’eo ty nihaozara’e.

'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.'

8 Aa naho izaho, le hoe sakoa mandrevake añ’anjomban’Añahare ao; iatoako nainai’e donia ty fiferenaiñan’ Añahare,

But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

9 Andriañeko nainai’e irehe, amy te Ihe ty nanao izay, vaho ho tamaeko i tahina’oy ie ty soa añatrefa’ o noro’oo.

I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.
