¹Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

¹[Ny amin'ny famaliana ny mpanao fitsarana tsy marina] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Miktama nataon'i Davida. Moa ny tsi-fitenenana va ataonareo ho filazana ny marina? Mitsara mahitsy va ianareo, ry zanak'olombelona?[Na: Moa milaza ny maraina tokoa va ianareo, ry mahery?]

²Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

²Tsy izany, fa ny fonareo no amoronanareo ny ratsy; mandanja ny fandozan'ny tananareo etỳ an-tany ianareo.

³The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

³Mivily hatrany am-bohoka ny ratsy fanahy; mania hatrany an-kibo izy ka miteny lainga.

⁴Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

⁴Misy poizina tahaka ny an'ny menarana aminy; eny, tahaka ny vipera marenina izay manentsin-tadiny izy,

⁵Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

⁵Ka tsy mihaino ny feon'ny mpanao ody, na dia izay mpahay ody indrindra aza.

⁶Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

⁶Andriamanitra ô, torotoroy ny nifiny eo am-bavany; omboty ny vazan'ny liona tanora, Jehovah ô.

⁷Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

⁷Aoka ho ritra tahaka ny ranotrambo izy; raha atraniny ny zana-tsipìkany, dia aoka ho tapa-doha ireny;

⁸As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

⁸Aoka ho tahaka ny lelosy izay mihalevona eny am-pandehanana izy; Aoka ho tahaka ny zaza-vakimanta izay tsy mahita masoandro izy.

⁹Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

⁹Dieny tsy mbola mafanan'ny afon-tsilo ny vilaninareo, aoka ho entin'ny tafio-drivotra ireny, na ny lena na ny maina.

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

¹⁰Hifaly ny marina, raha mahita ny famaliana; hanasa ny tongony amin'ny ran'ny ratsy fanahy izy;Dia hiteny ny olona ka hanao hoe: misy valiny tokoa ho an'ny marina; misy tokoa Andriamanitra Izay mitsara etỳ ambonin'ny tany.[Heb: vokatra]

¹¹So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

¹¹Dia hiteny ny olona ka hanao hoe: misy valiny tokoa ho an'ny marina; misy tokoa Andriamanitra Izay mitsara etỳ ambonin'ny tany.[Heb: vokatra]
