Salamo 52

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

To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.

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

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; 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; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

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

Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] 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 shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, 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 strength; 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 I [am] like a green 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 praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
