Saam 51
1 Aw Khawsa, na lungnaak amak dyt thai ak caming kai ve nim qeen cang lah; na thintlawhnaak ak bau soeih ing ka sai thawlhnaak ve caih law sak cang lah.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2 Kang plawng thawlhnaak ve sil law nawhtaw ka thawlhnaak awhkawng ni ciim sak lah.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
3 Ikawtih, ka sai thawlhnaak ve sim nyng saw, ka thawlhnaak ve ka haiawh awm loet hy.
For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
4 Nang ing ak kalh na, nang aven doengawh, thawlh hawh nawh namik huh awh ak che ik-oeih ce sai hawh vik nyng, cedawngawh awi nak kqawn awh na thymnaak ce dang nawh awi na ceknaak awh thym hyk ti.
Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 Ka thang plek awhkawng thawlh qoe hawh nawh, ka nu puk khuiawh thawlh doena ni anik bah qoe hawh.
Look, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
6 Nang ingtaw ak khui ben awitak doeng ngaih nawh; kawlung am cei dyt awh nang ing cyihnaak ni cawngpyi hyk ti.
Look, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Hyssop ing ni ciim sak nawhtaw, cawhtaw ciim hawh kawng nyng; ni sil nawhtaw, cawhtaw vyl anglakawh bawk hawh kawng nyng.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Awmhly kaw zeelnaak awi ce ning zaak sak lah; na ek sak ka quhkhqi ve zeel lah seh.
Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9 Ka thawlhnaak awh na haai thuh nawh kang plawng thawlhnaak ve caih law sak lah.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
10 Aw Khawsa, kak khuiawh kawlung ciim sai law lah, kang myihla ve thai law sak pang lah.
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
11 Na ven awhkawng koeh nik khawng valh nawh nang Ciim Myihla awm koeh lo law valh cang.
Do not throw me from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Na hulnaak zeelnaak ce ni pe tlaih nawhtaw na nim tunaak qap aham boe ak ngai myihla ce ni pe lah.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Cawhtaw ik-oeih ak sai thawlh thlangkhqi ce na lam cawngpyi kawng nyng saw, thlak thawlhkhqi ing na venna hlat law tlaih kawm uh.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
14 Aw Khawsa, kai anik hulkung Khawsa, thi lawng sak thawlhnaak awhkawng ni hul cang lah, cawhtaw kam lai ing na dyngnaak laa ce sa kaw.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Aw Bawipa, ka hui ve awng law lah, cawhtaw kam kha ing nam kyihnaak ce kqawn kaw.
Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Bulnaak awh nak kaw am zeel hy, cek kaa mantaw hawlaw hawh kawng nyng; hyih phumnaak awh awm am zeel bai hyk ti.
For you do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 Khawsa a bulnaak khqi taw myihlak kqek ve ni; kawlung kqek nawh kawseetnaak ve ni, Aw Khawsa ve ve nang ing am sit ti kawp ti.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 Na ngaihnaak amyihna Zion ce hang leek sak nawh; Jerusalem vawng ce thawh tlaih lah.
Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Cawhtaw dyngnaak bulnaak ce awm kawmsaw nang ak khawzeelnaak a cuna hyih phumnaak ce awm hawh kaw; cekcoengawh taw na bawkthang awh vaitawm caikhqi ce nawn law hawh kawm uh.
Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
