Salamo 5

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Hampiarahina amin’ ny sodina. Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Jehovah ô, henoy ny teniko; fantaro ny eritreritro.

For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.

2 Henoy ny feon’ ny fitarainako, ry Mpanjakako sy Andriamanitro ô; fa Hianao no ivavahako.

Attend to my loud cry for help, my king and my God.

3 Jehovah ô, maraina no handrenesanao ny feoko; maraina no hivavahako aminao, ka hanandrandra aho.

When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign.

4 Fa tsy Andriamanitra mankasitraka izay ratsy Hianao; tsy hitoetra aminao ny ratsy.

For you are no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.

5 Tsy hahazo mijanona eo imasonao ny mpirehareha; halanao ny mpanao ratsy rehetra.

No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.

6 Haringanao ny mpiteny lainga; ny olona mpandatsa-drà sy mpamitaka dia ataon’ i Jehovah ho zava-betaveta.

You destroy all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.

7 Fa izaho kosa noho ny haben’ ny famindram-ponao dia hiditra ao an-tranonao; hiankohoka manatrika ny lapanao masìna amin’ ny fahatahorana anao aho.

But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.

8 Jehovah ô, tariho amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho noho ny amin’ ny mpampahory ahy; ataovy marina eo anoloako ny lalanao.

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before me.

9 Fa tsy misy azo itokiana ny aloaky ny vavany; ny ao anatiny dia tena faharatsiana; fasana misokatra ny tendany. Mandambolambo ny lelany izy.

For their mouth is a stranger to truth, their heart is a pit of destruction. Their throat is a wide open grave, their tongue the smooth tongue of the hypocrite.

10 Helohy izy, Andriamanitra ô; Aoka ho lavon’ ny saina ataony izy; Roahy izy noho ny haben’ ny fahotany, satria efa niodina taminao.

Condemn them, God; let their schemes bring them down to the ground. For their numberless crimes thrust them down for playing the rebel against you.

11 Dia hifaly izay rehetra mialoka aminao, hihoby mandrakariva izy, koa miarova azy Hianao; ka dia ho ravoravo aminao izay tia ny anaranao.

But let all who take refuge in you ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult in you.

12 Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, mitahy ny marina; fankasitrahana no ataonao manodidina azy toy ny ampinga lehibe.

For you give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favor protects them.
