Sam 51
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na pahren han ngai e patetlah na pahren haw. Kapap ni teh kahawi e na lungmanae dawkvah, kâtapoenae hah na tha pouh haw.
For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Ka sakpayon e pueng kathoungcalah na pâsu pouh haw. Ka yonnae dawk hoi na thoung sak haw.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Kâtapoenae hah ka panue toe. Ka yonnae teh pou ka pouk.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
4 Nang taranlahoi nang koe roeroe ka yon toe. Na mithmu vah hawihoehnae ka sak toe. Ka kong na dei toteh atang doeh. Lawk na ceng toteh, toun han awm hoeh.
Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Kai teh payonnae lahoi khe e lah ka o teh, anu ni yon hoi doeh na vawn toe.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Lungthin kalan e hah na ngai dawkvah, ka lungthin thung lungangnae hah na cangkhai haw.
For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
7 Dingsala hoi na hui haw, ka thoung han. Na pâsu haw tadamtui patetlah ka pangaw han.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Na khoe tangcoung e hrunaw konawm nahanlah, konawmnae hoi lunghawinae lawk na thaisak haw.
Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Ka yonnae dawk hoi na minhmai hrawk nateh, ka yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw.
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Oe Cathut, ka thungvah lungthin kathoung bout sak nateh, kai dawk kacakpounge muitha hah bout roung sak haw.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
11 Nang koehoi na pâlei hanh lah a. Na Kathoung Muitha teh kai koehoi na lat pouh hanh.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.
12 Na rungngangnae dawk konawmnae hah bout na poe haw. Hringpasoungnae na Muitha hoi na kuen haw.
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
13 Hottelah, kâtapoenaw hah na lamthung ka cangkhai vaiteh, tamikayonnaw teh nang koe a kâthung awh han.
[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.
14 Oe Cathut, kaie rungngangnae Cathut, tami thei e yon hoi na hlout sak haw. Na lannae hah ka lai ni kacaipounglah la a sak han.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
15 Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni heh paawng nateh, ka pahni ni na pholen han.
O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, thuengnae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, yo na poe han doeh toe. Hmaisawi thuengnae dawk hai na lungyouknae awm hoeh.
For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given [it]: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
17 Cathut ngai e patetlah thuengnae hateh, muitha rek e hah doeh. Lungthin rek laihoi pankângai e heh, Oe Cathut, banglahai noutna laipalah na awm mahoeh.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 Zion vah na ngai e hawinae hah sak haw, Jerusalem rapan hah kangdout sak haw.
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
19 Hottelah hoiyah, lannae thuengnae hoi hmaisawi thuengnae hoi takbuem hmaisawi thuengnae dawk na lunghawi vaiteh, na thuengnae khoungroe van vah, maitotan hah a thueng awh han.
Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
