Psalms 51
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Ry Andrianañahare, matariha amy hafatraram-pikokoa’o, faopaoho o fiolàkoo amo hara’elahim-piferenaiña’oo,
2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Kotriño hitoratsike amo tahikoo, liovo amo fandilarakoo.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
Apotako o fiolàkoo: vaho miatrek’ ahy nainai’e o hakeokoo.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
Ama’o, le ama’o avao ty nandilarako; naho nanao hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’o; soa te ho rendreke to t’ie mitsara, vaho vantañe te mizaka.
5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Toe naterak’ an-kakeo iraho, naho an-tahiñe t’ie niareñen-drene.
6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Inao, mipay hatò añ’ova ao irehe, aa le ampandrendreho hìhitse mietake iraho.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Efero an-tseva iraho, hikotritriake; ampandrò ho foty matsatsaoke te amo volovasoo.
8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Ampitsanoño firebehañe naho hafalean-draho; soa te hiankahake o taolañe dinemo’oo.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Aetaho amo tahikoo ty lahara’o, ehe fonga forò o hakeokoo.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Itseneo fo vao ry Andrianañahare; le vaò añ’ovako ao ty troke migahiñe.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
Ko ahifike tsy ho añatrefa’o eo iraho, le ko apitsok’ amako i Arofo’o Masiñey.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
Ampolio amako ty hafalea’ i fandrombaha’oy, itohano ho aman-troke mahimbañe.
13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
Le hampahafohineko o aman-kakeoo o lala’oo, hampipoliañe o mpanan-tahiñeo.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Hahao ami’ty lio-màlin-draho, ry Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañ’ ahikoy; le ho saboen-delako o havantaña’oo.
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
O Talè, sokafo o soñikoo hitaroñam-bavako ty fandrengeañ’ Azo
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Toe tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo, fa ho nibanabanaeko; tsy no’o o soroñe oroañeo.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Ty soron’ Añahare, le troke mihoto; tsy ho sirikae’o ry Andrianañahare, ty arofo rofotse naho mikoretse.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
Hasoao i Tsiône ami’ty fatariha’o; atroaro o kijoli’ Ierosalaimeo.
19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
Izay vaho ho no’o o sorom-bantañeo: o soroñe oroañeo naho soroñ’ añoñeo; le hengaeñe bania ambone’ i kitreli’oy.
