Psalms 51
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
Ry Andrianañahare, matariha amy hafatraram-pikokoa’o, faopaoho o fiolàkoo amo hara’elahim-piferenaiña’oo,
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Kotriño hitoratsike amo tahikoo, liovo amo fandilarakoo.
3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Apotako o fiolàkoo: vaho miatrek’ ahy nainai’e o hakeokoo.
4 Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right 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, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Toe naterak’ an-kakeo iraho, naho an-tahiñe t’ie niareñen-drene.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
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 joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed 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 me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast 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 Thy holy spirit 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 uphold me.
Ampolio amako ty hafalea’ i fandrombaha’oy, itohano ho aman-troke mahimbañe.
13 Then will I 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 bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Hahao ami’ty lio-màlin-draho, ry Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañ’ ahikoy; le ho saboen-delako o havantaña’oo.
15 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
O Talè, sokafo o soñikoo hitaroñam-bavako ty fandrengeañ’ Azo
16 For Thou delightest not in 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 favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Hasoao i Tsiône ami’ty fatariha’o; atroaro o kijoli’ Ierosalaimeo.
19 Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer 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.
