Salamo 52

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

For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.

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

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

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

You love all devouring words, you 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 destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

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.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make 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 as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever 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 you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
