Psalms 51
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.
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.
2 Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.
Sasao madio aho mba ho afa-keloka, ary diovy aho mba ho afa-pahotana.
3 For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.
Fa tsaroako ny fahadisoako, ary eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny fahotako.
4 Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.
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.
5 Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
Indro, tamin’ ny heloka no niterahana ahy, ary tamin’ ny fahotana no torontoronina ahy ny reniko.
6 Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
Indro, fahamarinana ao am-po no sitrakao; ary fahendrena ao amin’ ny miafina no ampahafantarinao ahy.
7 Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
Diovy hysopa aho ho afa-pahotana, dia hadio; sasao aho, dia ho fotsy mangatsakatsaka.
8 Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
Ampandreneso fifaliana sy faharavoravoana aho, hifalian’ ny taolana izay voavakivakinao.
9 Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.
Afeno ny tavanao ny fahotako ary vonoy ny heloko rehetra.
10 Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
Amorony fo madio aho, Andriamanitra ô; ary havaozy hiorina marina ny fanahiko ato anatiko.
11 Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.
Aza manary ahy hiala eo anatrehanao; ary aza manaisotra ny Fanahinao Masìna amiko.
12 Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.
Ampodio amiko ny fifaliana amin’ ny famonjenao; ary tohàny fanahy mazoto aho.
13 Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.
Dia hampianatra ny olon-diso ny lalanao aho; ary ny mpanota hampiverenina aminao.
14 Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.
Vonjeo ho afaka amin’ ny valin-drà aho, Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy; hihoby ny fahamarinanao ny vavako.
15 O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.
Tompo ô, sokafy ny molotro, dia hanambara ny fiderana Anao ny vavako.
16 You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.
Fa tsy fanatitra no sitrakao; raha izany dia nomeko ihany; ny fanatitra dorana tsy mahafaly Anao.
17 The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
Ny fanatitra ho an’ Andriamanitra dia fanahy torotoro; ny fo torotoro sy mangorakoraka, Andriamanitra ô, tsy mba ataonao tsinontsinona.
18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.
Manaova soa amin’ i Ziona araka ny fahasoavanao; ataovy ny mandan’ i Jerosalema.
19 Then you will have delight in the offerings of righteousness, in burned offerings and offerings of beasts; then they will make offerings of oxen on your altar.
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.
