Salamo 51
1 Ry Andrianañahare, matariha amy hafatraram-pikokoa’o, faopaoho o fiolàkoo amo hara’elahim-piferenaiña’oo,
For the chief musician. A psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had slept with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, because of your covenant faithfulness; for the sake of the multitude of your merciful actions, 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 know my transgressions, and my sin is always 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 you, you only, I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.
5 Toe naterak’ an-kakeo iraho, naho an-tahiñe t’ie niareñen-drene.
See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
6 Inao, mipay hatò añ’ova ao irehe, aa le ampandrendreho hìhitse mietake iraho.
See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
7 Efero an-tseva iraho, hikotritriake; ampandrò ho foty matsatsaoke te amo volovasoo.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Ampitsanoño firebehañe naho hafalean-draho; soa te hiankahake o taolañe dinemo’oo.
Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
9 Aetaho amo tahikoo ty lahara’o, ehe fonga forò o hakeokoo.
Hide your 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 in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Ko ahifike tsy ho añatrefa’o eo iraho, le ko apitsok’ amako i Arofo’o Masiñey.
Do not drive me away from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Ampolio amako ty hafalea’ i fandrombaha’oy, itohano ho aman-troke mahimbañe.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Le hampahafohineko o aman-kakeoo o lala’oo, hampipoliañe o mpanan-tahiñeo.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted to you.
14 Hahao ami’ty lio-màlin-draho, ry Andrianañahare, Andrianañaharem- pandrombahañ’ ahikoy; le ho saboen-delako o havantaña’oo.
Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
15 O Talè, sokafo o soñikoo hitaroñam-bavako ty fandrengeañ’ Azo
Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express your praise.
16 Toe tsy mahafale Azo o soroñeo, fa ho nibanabanaeko; tsy no’o o soroñe oroañeo.
For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
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. You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
18 Hasoao i Tsiône ami’ty fatariha’o; atroaro o kijoli’ Ierosalaimeo.
Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild 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 will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then our people will offer bulls on your altar.
