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.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness: according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Ka sakpayon e pueng kathoungcalah na pâsu pouh haw. Ka yonnae dawk hoi na thoung sak haw.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Kâtapoenae hah ka panue toe. Ka yonnae teh pou ka pouk.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever 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 you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge.
5 Kai teh payonnae lahoi khe e lah ka o teh, anu ni yon hoi doeh na vawn toe.
Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Lungthin kalan e hah na ngai dawkvah, ka lungthin thung lungangnae hah na cangkhai haw.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
7 Dingsala hoi na hui haw, ka thoung han. Na pâsu haw tadamtui patetlah ka pangaw han.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Na khoe tangcoung e hrunaw konawm nahanlah, konawmnae hoi lunghawinae lawk na thaisak haw.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9 Ka yonnae dawk hoi na minhmai hrawk nateh, ka yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my 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 within me.
11 Nang koehoi na pâlei hanh lah a. Na Kathoung Muitha teh kai koehoi na lat pouh hanh.
Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your 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 your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.
13 Hottelah, kâtapoenaw hah na lamthung ka cangkhai vaiteh, tamikayonnaw teh nang koe a kâthung awh han.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted to you.
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 bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni heh paawng nateh, ka pahni ni na pholen han.
O Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your 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 you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
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.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 Zion vah na ngai e hawinae hah sak haw, Jerusalem rapan hah kangdout sak haw.
Do good in your good pleasure to Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.
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 shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks on your altar.
