La Bu 51
1 O Pathen Elohim, na mingailutna longlou jeh'in na mi khotona chu neimusah in. Na mi hepina kidangtah jeh chun ka chonset nenbeh jouse neisuhbei peh in.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
2 Kathemmona ho jouse'a kon'in neisutheng in lang neisoptheng in, ka chonsetna a kon'in neisuthengsel in.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Ajeh chu ka phatlouna ka kihet'in sun le jan'in eijui jing'in ahi.
For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Nangma douna mong'a chonse ka hi, Nangma mitmun thilse chu ka na bol tai. Na thusei in nadihna aphondoh ding ahi, chuleh ka chung'a nathutan jong adih'in ahi.
Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest.
5 Ajeh chu ka nu oisung'a ka ki jil'a pat'a chonset pum'a kijil ka hin chonsesa hung peng a ka hi.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Hinla nang'in ka nu oisung'a pat'in jong atheng a ka um ding nana ngaichat ahin hiche mun jeng'a jong chu chihna lungthim neina hilpat ahitai.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
7 Ka chonsetna a kon'in neisutheng lechun ka then ding ahitai, neisoptheng lechun buhbang sang'in theng tang'e.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Oh! Ka kipana neipekit in, nang'in nei hesoh sah ahin tun neikipasah kit tan.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
9 Ka chonsetna ho neivet peh jing hih in, ka setna nenbeh ho sumang in.
Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Lungthimthah neisem peh in O Yahweh Pakai. Kasunga um lhagao hi nei thah sempeh in.
Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
11 Na angsung'a kon'in neipaidoh hih'in, chuleh keija kon'in na Lhagao Theng chu lamang hih'in.
Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
12 Nei huhhing nikho'a ka kipana chu avel'in neipe kit in lang chuleh nathu'a nung jing mi neihisah in,
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
13 Chuteng na thua nunglou ho jong nangma deilam'a ahung chonna di'uva ka hil ding chutengleh amaho nangma kom lang'a hung kile kit ding ahi'uve.
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
14 O Pathen Elohim mi huhhingpu, keiman thisan kaso tahjeh in neingaidam'in chutileh neingaidamna chu kipah tah'a vahchoila a ka sah ding ahi.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
15 O Yahweh Pakai lungnachim'a nangma ka vahchoi theina ding'in ka lei neilhap peh'in.
O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
16 Nangman kilhaina thilpeh na ngaicha pon, pumgo thilto ding khat jong na ngaicha pon ahi.
For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 Nang in na ngaichat kilhaina chu-Lhagaova kisuh gep ahin, nang'in lung kisuchip pum'a kisihna neiho napaidoh poi o Yahweh Pakai.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
18 Zion hi lungsetna mitvet in venlang hin kithopin, Jerusalem pal hinsem phan.
Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Chutengleh kilhaina lungtheng sel a kipe pumgo thilto hon lunglhai in natin chule pumgo thil to pum bongchal ho avel'in hung kikatdoh tante.
Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
