Psalms 36

1 To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David. The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida, mpanompon’ i Jehovah. Ny ota milaza ato am-poko ny amin’ ny ratsy fanahy hoe: tsy misy fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra ao aminy.

2 For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

Fa miarahaba tena izy ny amin’ ny tsy hahitana ny helony ka hankahalana azy.

3 In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

Ny tenin’ ny vavany dia faharatsiana sy fitaka; efa nihadala izy ka nitsahatra tsy hanao soa.

4 He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

Faharatsiana no saintsaininy eo am-pandriany; mitsangana eo amin’ ny lalana tsy mety izy; ny ratsy tsy mba laviny akory.

5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

Jehovah ô, mipaka amin’ ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; mihatra amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

Ny fahamarinanao dia tahaka ny tendrombohitra avo dia avo; ny fitsaranao dia toy ny lalina indrindra; ny olona sy ny biby dia samy vonjenao, Jehovah ô,

7 How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny famindram-ponao, Andriamanitra ô! ka mialoka eo amin’ ny aloky ny elatrao ny zanak’ olombelona.

8 The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

Voky ny matavy ao an-tranonao izy; ary ny ony fampifalianao no ampisotroanao azy.

9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

Fa ao aminao no misy loharanon’ aina; ny fahazavanao no hahitanay fahazavana.

10 O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Ampahareto amin’ izay mahalala Anao ny famindram-ponao, ary ny fahamarinanao amin’ ny mahitsy fo.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.

Aoka tsy hanitsaka ahy ny tongotry ny mpiavonavona, na hampandositra ahy ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.

12 There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.

Indreo! efa lavo ny mpanao ratsy; naripaka izy ka tsy maharina.
