Tingtoeng 51
1 Aka mawt ham, Bathsheba taengla a caeh vanbangla tonghma Nathan loh anih a paan vaengkah David tingtoenglung Pathen aw kai n'rhen lah. Na sitlohnah neh na haidamnah a cungkuem vanbangla ka boekoeknah he han huih mai.
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.
2 Kai kathaesainah loh a yet khaw a yet oeh dongah kai n'sil lamtah ka tholhnah lamkah kai n'caihcil lah.
Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.
3 Kamah kah boekoek te kamah loh ka ming tih ka tholhnah loh kamah hmaiah om taitu.
For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.
4 Nang namah bueng taengah ka tholh tih na mikhmuh ah boethae ka saii. Tedae na thui vaengah nan tang sak tih nan cawh vaengah nan cim sak.
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.
5 Thaesainah neh ka thang tih tholhnah neh a nu loh kai n'yom.
Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
6 Kodang khuikah oltak te na ngaih dongah cueihnah na kael neh kai nan tuk nan kil.
Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
7 Pumpiding neh kai nan cil daengah ni ka caihcil eh. Kai nan silh daengah ni vuelsong lakah ka bok eh.
Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
8 Omngaihnah neh kohoenah te kai nan yaak sak dongah na khaem tangtae rhuhrhong long khaw omngaih uh saeh.
Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
9 Ka tholhnah dongah na maelhmai thuh mai lamtah ka thaesainah boeih he han huih lah.
Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.
10 Pathen aw kai ham aka caih lungbuei han suen lamtah ka khui kah mueihla he cikngae la pan han tlaih lah.
Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
11 Kai he namah mikhmuh lamkah m'voei boel lamtah kai taengkah Mueihla Cim lo boel mai.
Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.
12 Na daemnah, omngaihnah te kai taengah ha mael lamtah, moeihoeihnah mueihla loh kai n'talong saeh.
Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.
13 Boekoek rhoek te na khosing ka cang puei vetih hlangtholh rhoek loh nang taengla ha bal uh bitni.
Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.
14 Pathen, ka loeihnah Pathen hlang thii lamkah kai n'huul lah. Nang kah duengnah te ka lai loh tamhoe puei saeh.
Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.
15 Ka Boeipa aw, ka hmui he han ong lamtah ka ka loh nang koehnah te doek saeh.
O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.
16 Hmueih he na ngaih pawt dongah ni na ngaih koinih kam paek mai sue. Hmueihhlutnah khaw na doe moenih.
You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.
17 Pathen kah a ngaih hmueih tah mueihla aka paeng ke ni. Lungbuei aka paeng tih aka paep te Pathen nang loh na hnawt moenih.
The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
18 Namah kah kolonah dongah Zion te khophoeng pha sak lamtah Jerusalem vongtung te khueng pah.
Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Te vaengah, duengnah hmueih, hmueihhlutnah khaw boeih na ngaih vetih na hmueihtuk ah vaito a khuen uh ni.
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.
