Salamo 36
1 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.
For the leader. Of the servant of the Lord, of David. Sin whispers within the heart of the wicked, who have no dread of God before their eyes.
2 Fa miarahaba tena izy ny amin’ ny tsy hahitana ny helony ka hankahalana azy.
It flatters them in their eyes that their sin will not be found out.
3 Ny tenin’ ny vavany dia faharatsiana sy fitaka; efa nihadala izy ka nitsahatra tsy hanao soa.
First, their speech becomes wicked and false, they give up acting wisely and well.
4 Faharatsiana no saintsaininy eo am-pandriany; mitsangana eo amin’ ny lalana tsy mety izy; ny ratsy tsy mba laviny akory.
Then they plot deliberate wrong, take their stand on the wicked way, without the least shrinking from evil.
5 Jehovah ô, mipaka amin’ ny lanitra ny famindram-ponao; mihatra amin’ ny rahona ny fahamarinanao.
Your love, O Lord, touches the heavens, your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
6 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,
Your justice is like the great mountains, your judgments are like the broad sea. Lord, you save people and animals.
7 Endrey ny hatsaran’ ny famindram-ponao, Andriamanitra ô! ka mialoka eo amin’ ny aloky ny elatrao ny zanak’ olombelona.
How precious your love, O God! All may seek shelter in the shadow of your wings.
8 Voky ny matavy ao an-tranonao izy; ary ny ony fampifalianao no ampisotroanao azy.
They feast on the fat of your house, they drink of your brook of delights.
9 Fa ao aminao no misy loharanon’ aina; ny fahazavanao no hahitanay fahazavana.
For with you is the fountain of life, in the light that is yours we see light.
10 Ampahareto amin’ izay mahalala Anao ny famindram-ponao, ary ny fahamarinanao amin’ ny mahitsy fo.
O continue your grace to the faithful, your love to the upright in heart.
11 Aoka tsy hanitsaka ahy ny tongotry ny mpiavonavona, na hampandositra ahy ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
Let no arrogant foot tread upon me, no wicked hand drive me to exile.
12 Indreo! efa lavo ny mpanao ratsy; naripaka izy ka tsy maharina.
There the workers of wrong lie prostrate, thrust down to rise up no more.
