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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] Have mercy on me, 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. Cleanse me from my sin.
3 Kâtapoenae hah ka panue toe. Ka yonnae teh pou ka pouk.
For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly 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, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 Kai teh payonnae lahoi khe e lah ka o teh, anu ni yon hoi doeh na vawn toe.
Look, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
6 Lungthin kalan e hah na ngai dawkvah, ka lungthin thung lungangnae hah na cangkhai haw.
Look, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Dingsala hoi na hui haw, ka thoung han. Na pâsu haw tadamtui patetlah ka pangaw han.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Na khoe tangcoung e hrunaw konawm nahanlah, konawmnae hoi lunghawinae lawk na thaisak haw.
Let me 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 of 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. Renew a right spirit within me.
11 Nang koehoi na pâlei hanh lah a. Na Kathoung Muitha teh kai koehoi na lat pouh hanh.
Do not throw me from your presence, and do not take 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. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Hottelah, kâtapoenaw hah na lamthung ka cangkhai vaiteh, tamikayonnaw teh nang koe a kâthung awh han.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways. 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, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni heh paawng nateh, ka pahni ni na pholen han.
Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare 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 do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure 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 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 well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build 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 you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
