TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

2 Kathemmona ho jouse'a kon'in neisutheng in lang neisoptheng in, ka chonsetna a kon'in neisuthengsel in.

Thoroughly wash me from my 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] continually 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 You, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.

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 have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.

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, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.

7 Ka chonsetna a kon'in neisutheng lechun ka then ding ahitai, neisoptheng lechun buhbang sang'in theng tang'e.

You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.

8 Oh! Ka kipana neipekit in, nang'in nei hesoh sah ahin tun neikipasah kit tan.

You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.

9 Ka chonsetna ho neivet peh jing hih in, ka setna nenbeh ho sumang in.

Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.

10 Lungthimthah neisem peh in O Yahweh Pakai. Kasunga um lhagao hi nei thah sempeh in.

Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.

11 Na angsung'a kon'in neipaidoh hih'in, chuleh keija kon'in na Lhagao Theng chu lamang hih'in.

Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your 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 to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains 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.

I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.

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 blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.

15 O Yahweh Pakai lungnachim'a nangma ka vahchoi theina ding'in ka lei neilhap peh'in.

O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.

16 Nangman kilhaina thilpeh na ngaicha pon, pumgo thilto ding khat jong na ngaicha pon ahi.

For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept 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 heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.

18 Zion hi lungsetna mitvet in venlang hin kithopin, Jerusalem pal hinsem phan.

Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build 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 You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
