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 musician, a psalm of David, When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba'.” Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy kindness: according to the greatness of thy mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Kai kathaesainah loh a yet khaw a yet oeh dongah kai n'sil lamtah ka tholhnah lamkah kai n'caihcil lah.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Kamah kah boekoek te kamah loh ka ming tih ka tholhnah loh kamah hmaiah om taitu.
For of my transgressions I have full knowledge; and my sin is before me continually.
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.
To thee, thee only, have I sinned, and what is evil in thy eyes have I done: —in order that thou mightest be righteous when thou speakest, be justified when thou judgest.
5 Thaesainah neh ka thang tih tholhnah neh a nu loh kai n'yom.
Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Kodang khuikah oltak te na ngaih dongah cueihnah na kael neh kai nan tuk nan kil.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses [of the heart].
7 Pumpiding neh kai nan cil daengah ni ka caihcil eh. Kai nan silh daengah ni vuelsong lakah ka bok eh.
Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Omngaihnah neh kohoenah te kai nan yaak sak dongah na khaem tangtae rhuhrhong long khaw omngaih uh saeh.
Cause me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast crushed may rejoice.
9 Ka tholhnah dongah na maelhmai thuh mai lamtah ka thaesainah boeih he han huih lah.
Hide thy face from my sins, and all my iniquities do thou blot out.
10 Pathen aw kai ham aka caih lungbuei han suen lamtah ka khui kah mueihla he cikngae la pan han tlaih lah.
Create unto me a clean heart, O God; and a firm spirit renew thou within me.
11 Kai he namah mikhmuh lamkah m'voei boel lamtah kai taengkah Mueihla Cim lo boel mai.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and thy holy spirit do not take from me.
12 Na daemnah, omngaihnah te kai taengah ha mael lamtah, moeihoeihnah mueihla loh kai n'talong saeh.
Restore unto me the gladness of thy salvation; and with a liberal spirit do thou support me.—
13 Boekoek rhoek te na khosing ka cang puei vetih hlangtholh rhoek loh nang taengla ha bal uh bitni.
I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
14 Pathen, ka loeihnah Pathen hlang thii lamkah kai n'huul lah. Nang kah duengnah te ka lai loh tamhoe puei saeh.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [that] my tongue may sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Ka Boeipa aw, ka hmui he han ong lamtah ka ka loh nang koehnah te doek saeh.
O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Hmueih he na ngaih pawt dongah ni na ngaih koinih kam paek mai sue. Hmueihhlutnah khaw na doe moenih.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: in burnt-offering hast thou no delight.
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 sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, wilt thou not despise.
18 Namah kah kolonah dongah Zion te khophoeng pha sak lamtah Jerusalem vongtung te khueng pah.
Do good in thy favor unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Te vaengah, duengnah hmueih, hmueihhlutnah khaw boeih na ngaih vetih na hmueihtuk ah vaito a khuen uh ni.
Then wilt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and entire offering: then shall bullocks be offered upon thy altar.
