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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2 Sasao madio aho mba ho afa-keloka, ary diovy aho mba ho afa-pahotana.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
3 Fa tsaroako ny fahadisoako, ary eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny fahotako.
For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly 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, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 Indro, tamin’ ny heloka no niterahana ahy, ary tamin’ ny fahotana no torontoronina ahy ny reniko.
Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.
6 Indro, fahamarinana ao am-po no sitrakao; ary fahendrena ao amin’ ny miafina no ampahafantarinao ahy.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. 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, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9 Afeno ny tavanao ny fahotako ary vonoy ny heloko rehetra.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of 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. Renew a right spirit within me.
11 Aza manary ahy hiala eo anatrehanao; ary aza manaisotra ny Fanahinao Masìna amiko.
Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take 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. Uphold 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. Sinners will be converted 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 the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Tompo ô, sokafy ny molotro, dia hanambara ny fiderana Anao ny vavako.
Lord, open my lips. 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 don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
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. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.
18 Manaova soa amin’ i Ziona araka ny fahasoavanao; ataovy ny mandan’ i Jerosalema.
Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build 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 the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
