Psalms 16
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
Miktama nataon’ i Davida.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
Hoy izaho ny amin’ i Jehovah: Tompoko Hianao; tsy misy soa ananako azo oharina aminao;
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
Ary ny amin’ ny olona masìna ambonin’ ny tany, ireo no olona tsara laza izay sitrako indrindra.
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
Ho be ny fahorian’ izay manova an’ Andriamanitra hatakalony ny hafa. Tsy mba hanatitra ny fanati-drà aidiny aho, ary tsy mba hotononin’ ny molotro ny anarany.
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
Jehovah no anjara lovako sy kapoakako; Hianao no mampaharitra ny anjarako.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
Ny voafaritra ho anjarako dia eo amin’ ny tany mahafinaritra; eny, manan-dova tsara aho.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
Hisaotra an’ i Jehovah Izay manome saina ahy aho; ary na amin’ ny alina aza dia mananatra ahy ny foko.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
Ataoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva Jehovah, fa eo ankavanako Izy, ka dia tsy hangozohozo aho.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
Izany no ifalian’ ny foko sy iravoravoan’ ny fanahiko; eny, ny nofoko aza hitoetra tsy manana ahiahy.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho latsaka ao amin’ ny lavaka Hianao. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
Hampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; fa havokisam-pifaliana no eo anatrehanao, ary fahafinaretana no eo an-tananao ankavanana mandrakizay.
