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 of the music. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after his intercourse with Bathsheba.” Be gracious unto me, O God! according to thy loving kindness; According to the greatness of thy mercy, 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 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 acknowledge 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 in thy sight have I done evil; So that thou art just in thy sentence, And righteous in thy judgment.
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 born 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 heart; So teach me wisdom in my inmost soul!
7 Ka chonsetna a kon'in neisutheng lechun ka then ding ahitai, neisoptheng lechun buhbang sang'in theng tang'e.
Purge me with hyssop, until I be clean; Wash me, until I 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, So that the bones which thou hast broken 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 my iniquities!
10 Lungthimthah neisem peh in O Yahweh Pakai. Kasunga um lhagao hi nei thah sempeh in.
Create within me a clean heart, O God! Renew within me a steadfast spirit!
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 to me the joy of thy protection, And strengthen me with a willing spirit!
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 thy ways to transgressors, And sinners shall be converted to 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 the guilt of blood, O God, the God of my salvation! That my tongue may sing aloud of thy goodness!
15 O Yahweh Pakai lungnachim'a nangma ka vahchoi theina ding'in ka lei neilhap peh'in.
O Lord! open thou my lips, That my mouth may show forth thy praise!
16 Nangman kilhaina thilpeh na ngaicha pon, pumgo thilto ding khat jong na ngaicha pon ahi.
For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
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 sacrifice which God loveth is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God! thou wilt not despise!
18 Zion hi lungsetna mitvet in venlang hin kithopin, Jerusalem pal hinsem phan.
Do good to Zion according to thy mercy; Build up 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 shalt thou be pleased with sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt-offerings and complete offerings; Then shall bullocks be offered upon thine altar.
