Saam 51
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David mah Bathsheba zae haih pacoengah, anih khae tahmaa Nathan angzoh nathuem ih. David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nam lunghaih hoiah na tahmen raeh: na palung nathaih kalen parai hoiah ka sakpazaehaihnawk hae ciimsak ah.
For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Ka sakpazaehaih pasae paeh loe, ka zaehaih thung hoiah na ciimsak ah.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Tipongah tih nahaeloe ka sakpazae ih hmuennawk to ka panoek: ka zaehaih loe ka hmaa ah oh poe boeh.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
4 Na lok ka aek moeng boeh, nang khae khue ah, zaehaih ka sak moe, na hmaa ah sethaih ka sak moeng boeh: to pongah lok na thuih naah na toenghaih to amtueng, coek koi om ai ah lok na caek.
Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
5 Khenah, tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah ka zae boeh; kam no mah zaehaih hoiah ang pomh boeh.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Khenah, nang loe athung ah loktang oh hanah na koeh: ka palung hanah palunghahaih to na patuk ah.
For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.
7 Hyssop hoiah na pasae ah, to tiah nahaeloe ka ciim tih: na pasae ah, to tih nahaeloe dantui pongah kang lung kue tih.
You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Anghoehaih hoi oephaih lok to na thaisak ah; to tiah nahaeloe nang khaehsak ih ka huhnawk to anghoe o tih.
You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Ka zaehaihnawk pongah na mikhmai to hawk ving ah loe, ka sakpazaehaihnawk boih to ciimsak ah.
Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Aw Sithaw, ka thungah kaciim palung to suem ah, ka thungah muithla to angthasak ah.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
11 Na hmaa hoiah na haek ving hmah, kai khae ih kacai na Muithla to la ving hmah.
Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.
12 Na pahlonghaih hoi kasaeng anghoehaih to na paek let ah loe, poekhoihaih hoiah na patawn ah.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.
13 To tiah nahaeloe hmuen sah pazae kaminawk khaeah na loklam to ka patuek thai ueloe, zae kaminawk doeh nang khaeah amlaem o let tih.
[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.
14 Aw Sithaw, kai akrangkung Sithaw, kami athii palong zaehaih thung hoiah na pahlong ah: to tiah nahaeloe ka palai mah na toenghaih laa to sah tih.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.
15 Aw Angraeng, ka pahni hae paong ah: to tiah nahaeloe ka pakha mah nang pakoehhaih lok to thui tih.
O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Nang loe angbawnhaih to na koeh ai; nang koeh nahaeloe angbawnhaih to kang paek han boeh: nang loe hmai angbawnhaih ah nang hoe ai.
For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.
17 Sithaw mah koeh ih angbawnhaihnawk loe, kamro phaeng palung hae ni: Aw Sithaw, kakoi phaeng palung hoi dawnpakhuemhaih palung tawn kaminawk to na patoek mak ai.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 Zion mae loe na koehhaih baktiah omsak ah; Jerusalem sipaenawk to pathawk let ah.
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
19 To naah toenghaih hoi paek ih angbawnhaih, hmai angbawnhaih, takpum boih hmai angbawnhaih to nang hoe haih tih; to pacoengah loe nihcae mah na hmaicam ah maitaw taenawk to paek o tih boeh.
Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
