Salamo 51
1 Ry Andrianañahare, matariha amy hafatraram-pikokoa’o, faopaoho o fiolàkoo amo hara’elahim-piferenaiña’oo,
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.
2 Kotriño hitoratsike amo tahikoo, liovo amo fandilarakoo.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Apotako o fiolàkoo: vaho miatrek’ ahy nainai’e o hakeokoo.
For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
4 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.
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.
5 Toe naterak’ an-kakeo iraho, naho an-tahiñe t’ie niareñen-drene.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Inao, mipay hatò añ’ova ao irehe, aa le ampandrendreho hìhitse mietake iraho.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
7 Efero an-tseva iraho, hikotritriake; ampandrò ho foty matsatsaoke te amo volovasoo.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Ampitsanoño firebehañe naho hafalean-draho; soa te hiankahake o taolañe dinemo’oo.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
9 Aetaho amo tahikoo ty lahara’o, ehe fonga forò o hakeokoo.
Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Itseneo fo vao ry Andrianañahare; le vaò añ’ovako ao ty troke migahiñe.
Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
11 Ko ahifike tsy ho añatrefa’o eo iraho, le ko apitsok’ amako i Arofo’o Masiñey.
Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
12 Ampolio amako ty hafalea’ i fandrombaha’oy, itohano ho aman-troke mahimbañe.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
13 Le hampahafohineko o aman-kakeoo o lala’oo, hampipoliañe o mpanan-tahiñeo.
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
14 Hahao ami’ty lio-màlin-draho, ry Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañ’ ahikoy; le ho saboen-delako o havantaña’oo.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
15 O Talè, sokafo o soñikoo hitaroñam-bavako ty fandrengeañ’ Azo
O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
16 Toe tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo, fa ho nibanabanaeko; tsy no’o o soroñe oroañeo.
For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 Ty soron’ Añahare, le troke mihoto; tsy ho sirikae’o ry Andrianañahare, ty arofo rofotse naho mikoretse.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
18 Hasoao i Tsiône ami’ty fatariha’o; atroaro o kijoli’ Ierosalaimeo.
Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Izay vaho ho no’o o sorom-bantañeo: o soroñe oroañeo naho soroñ’ añoñeo; le hengaeñe bania ambone’ i kitreli’oy.
Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
