Salamo 51
1 Ry Andrianañahare, matariha amy hafatraram-pikokoa’o, faopaoho o fiolàkoo amo hara’elahim-piferenaiña’oo,
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after his intercourse with Bathsheba.” Be gracious unto me, O God! according to thy loving kindness; According to the greatness of thy mercy, blot out my transgressions!
2 Kotriño hitoratsike amo tahikoo, liovo amo fandilarakoo.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin!
3 Apotako o fiolàkoo: vaho miatrek’ ahy nainai’e o hakeokoo.
For I acknowledge 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 in thy sight have I done evil; So that thou art just in thy sentence, And righteous in thy judgment.
5 Toe naterak’ an-kakeo iraho, naho an-tahiñe t’ie niareñen-drene.
Behold! I was born 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 heart; So teach me wisdom in my inmost soul!
7 Efero an-tseva iraho, hikotritriake; ampandrò ho foty matsatsaoke te amo volovasoo.
Purge me with hyssop, until I be clean; Wash me, until I be whiter than snow!
8 Ampitsanoño firebehañe naho hafalean-draho; soa te hiankahake o taolañe dinemo’oo.
Make me to hear joy and gladness, So that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice!
9 Aetaho amo tahikoo ty lahara’o, ehe fonga forò o hakeokoo.
Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities!
10 Itseneo fo vao ry Andrianañahare; le vaò añ’ovako ao ty troke migahiñe.
Create within me a clean heart, O God! Renew within me a steadfast spirit!
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 to me the joy of thy protection, And strengthen me with a willing spirit!
13 Le hampahafohineko o aman-kakeoo o lala’oo, hampipoliañe o mpanan-tahiñeo.
Then will I teach thy ways to transgressors, And sinners shall be converted to thee.
14 Hahao ami’ty lio-màlin-draho, ry Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañ’ ahikoy; le ho saboen-delako o havantaña’oo.
Deliver me from the guilt of blood, O God, the God of my salvation! That my tongue may sing aloud of thy goodness!
15 O Talè, sokafo o soñikoo hitaroñam-bavako ty fandrengeañ’ Azo
O Lord! open thou my lips, That my mouth may show forth thy praise!
16 Toe tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo, fa ho nibanabanaeko; tsy no’o o soroñe oroañeo.
For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
17 Ty soron’ Añahare, le troke mihoto; tsy ho sirikae’o ry Andrianañahare, ty arofo rofotse naho mikoretse.
The sacrifice which God loveth is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God! thou wilt not despise!
18 Hasoao i Tsiône ami’ty fatariha’o; atroaro o kijoli’ Ierosalaimeo.
Do good to Zion according to thy mercy; Build up 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 shalt thou be pleased with sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt-offerings and complete offerings; Then shall bullocks be offered upon thine altar.
