Psalmi 51

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Kad je k Davidu došao prorok Natan poslije njegova grijeha Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje!

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 Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!

Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,

3 Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.

For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.

4 Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.

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 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.

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

6 Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.

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

7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!

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

8 Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!

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

9 Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!

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

10 Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!

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

11 Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!

Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.

13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.

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

14 Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!

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

15 Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.

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

16 Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.

For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.

17 Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.

The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.

18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!

Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.

Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
