1[Ny fahakaikin'ny Mpitsara, sy ny kapoaky ny fahatezerany] Ho an'ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Salamo nataon'i Asafa. Tonon-kira. Hisaoranay Hianao, Andriamanitra ô; eny, hisaoranay Hianao; fa akaiky ny anaranao; mitory ny fahagagana ataonao ny olona.
1To the Overseer. — `Destroy not.` — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2Fa ho avy tokoa amin'ny fotoana Aho; eny, Izaho no hitsara marina.
2When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.
3Mihorohoro ny tany sy ny mponina rehetra eo aminy, nefa Izaho no nanorina ny andriny.
3Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. Selah.
4Hoy izaho tamin'ny mpirehareha: aza mirehareha, ary tamin'ny ratsy fanahy: aza manandra-tandroka;[Na: Hoy izaho tamin'ny adala: Aza manao adala]
4I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,` And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.`
5Aza manandratra ny tandrokareo ho avo; ary aza miteny sahisahy amin'ny fahamafian-katoka.
5Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6Fa tsy avy any atsinanana, na avy any andrefana, na avy any atsimo, ny fisandratana.[Na: Na avy amin'ny efitra ny tendrombohitra no ihavian'ny fitsarana]
6For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.
7Fa Andriamanitra no Mpitsara; mampietry ny anankiray Izy ary manandratra ny anankiray kosa.
7But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth up.
8Fa misy kapoaka eo an-tànan'i Jehovah, feno divay mandroatra miharoharo zavatra iny, ka ampisotroany; eny, ny ratsy fanahy rehetra amin'ny tany dia hitroka ny faikany.[Na: mena]
8For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9Fa izaho hanambara izany mandrakizay, ka hankalaza an'Andriamanitr'i Jakoba.Ary ny tandroky ny ratsy fanahy rehetra hotapahiko; fa ny tandroky ny marina kosa no hasandratra.
9And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10Ary ny tandroky ny ratsy fanahy rehetra hotapahiko; fa ny tandroky ny marina kosa no hasandratra.
10And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
