Salamo 51
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Salamo nataon’ i Davida, fony Natana mpaminany nankao aminy rehefa naka an’ i Batseba izy. Mamindrà fo amiko, Andriamanitra ô, araka ny fahasoavanao; araka ny haben’ ny fiantranao vonoy ny fahadisoako.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.
2 Sasao madio aho mba ho afa-keloka, ary diovy aho mba ho afa-pahotana.
Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Fa tsaroako ny fahadisoako, ary eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny fahotako.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Taminao dia taminao ihany no nanotako, ary izay ratsy eo imasonao no efa nataoko, mba ho marina Hianao, raha miteny, ary tsy hanan-tsiny Hianao, raha mitsara.
Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.
5 Indro, tamin’ ny heloka no niterahana ahy, ary tamin’ ny fahotana no torontoronina ahy ny reniko.
Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
6 Indro, fahamarinana ao am-po no sitrakao; ary fahendrena ao amin’ ny miafina no ampahafantarinao ahy.
Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Diovy hysopa aho ho afa-pahotana, dia hadio; sasao aho, dia ho fotsy mangatsakatsaka.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Ampandreneso fifaliana sy faharavoravoana aho, hifalian’ ny taolana izay voavakivakinao.
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
9 Afeno ny tavanao ny fahotako ary vonoy ny heloko rehetra.
Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Amorony fo madio aho, Andriamanitra ô; ary havaozy hiorina marina ny fanahiko ato anatiko.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Aza manary ahy hiala eo anatrehanao; ary aza manaisotra ny Fanahinao Masìna amiko.
Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Ampodio amiko ny fifaliana amin’ ny famonjenao; ary tohàny fanahy mazoto aho.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Dia hampianatra ny olon-diso ny lalanao aho; ary ny mpanota hampiverenina aminao.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.
14 Vonjeo ho afaka amin’ ny valin-drà aho, Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy; hihoby ny fahamarinanao ny vavako.
Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
15 Tompo ô, sokafy ny molotro, dia hanambara ny fiderana Anao ny vavako.
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
16 Fa tsy fanatitra no sitrakao; raha izany dia nomeko ihany; ny fanatitra dorana tsy mahafaly Anao.
For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 Ny fanatitra ho an’ Andriamanitra dia fanahy torotoro; ny fo torotoro sy mangorakoraka, Andriamanitra ô, tsy mba ataonao tsinontsinona.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
18 Manaova soa amin’ i Ziona araka ny fahasoavanao; ataovy ny mandan’ i Jerosalema.
In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Dia ho sitrakao ny fanati-pahamarinana sy ny fanatitra dorana ary ny fanatitra levonina amin’ ny afo; dia hanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy eo amin’ ny alitaranao ny olona.
Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
