1[Fifonan'ny manan-keloka mba hahafahan'ny helony sy hodian'ny fifaliany amin'Andriamanitra] 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.
1To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
2Sasao madio aho mba ho afa-keloka, ary diovy aho mba ho afa-pahotana.
2Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,
3Fa tsaroako ny fahadisoako, ary eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny fahotako.
3For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually.
4Taminao 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.
4Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.
5Indro, tamin'ny heloka no niterahana ahy, ary tamin'ny fahotana no torontoronina ahy ny reniko.
5Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.
6Indro, fahamarinana ao am-po no sitrakao; ary fahendrena ao amin'ny miafina no ampahafantarinao ahy.
6Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
7Diovy hysopa aho ho afa-pahotana, dia hadio; sasao aho, dia ho fotsy mangatsakatsaka.[Heb: toy ny oram-panala]
7Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.
8Ampandreneso fifaliana sy faharavoravoana aho, hifalian'ny taolana izay voavakivakinao.
8Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.
9Afeno ny tavanao ny fahotako ary vonoy ny heloko rehetra.
9Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.
10Amorony fo madio aho, Andriamanitra ô; ary havaozy hiorina marina ny fanahiko ato anatiko.
10A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.
11Aza manary ahy hiala eo anatrehanao; ary aza manaisotra ny Fanahinao Masina amiko.
11Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.
12Ampodio amiko ny fifaliana amin'ny famonjenao; ary tohàny fanahy mazoto aho.
12Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.
13Dia hampianatra ny olon-diso ny lalanao aho; ary ny mpanota hampiverenina aminao.
13I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.
14Vonjeo ho afaka amin'ny valin-drà aho, Andriamanitra ô, Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy; hihoby ny fahamarinanao ny vavako.[Heb: ny lelako]
14Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.
15Tompo ô, sokafy ny molotro, dia hanambara ny fiderana Anao ny vavako.
15O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.
16Fa tsy fanatitra no sitrakao; raha izany dia nomeko ihany; ny fanatitra dorana tsy mahafaly Anao.
16For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.
17Ny fanatitra ho an'Andriamanitra dia fanahy torotoro; ny fo torotoro sy mangorakoraka, Andriamanitra ô, tsy mba ataonao tsinontsinona.
17The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.
18Manaova soa amin'i Ziona araka ny fahasoavanao; ataovy ny mandan'i Jerosalema.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.
18Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
19Dia 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.
19Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!
