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!
O God, be merciful to me, because you love me faithfully; because you are very merciful, erase [the record of] the ways that I disobeyed you!
2 Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
Make me pure from the wrong things that I have done; make me clean from [the guilt of] my sin.
3 Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
[I say that] because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you; I cannot forget them.
4 Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
You, you only, are the one that I have [really] sinned against, and you have seen the evil things that I have done. When you say that I am guilty, you are right/correct, and when you judge me, you justly say [that I deserve to be punished].
5 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; [truly], I have been like that since my mother conceived me.
6 Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you [can] teach me how to act wisely.
7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
Purify me from the guilt of my sins, and [after that happens], I will be clean [in my inner being]; cleanse me, and [then in my inner being] I will be (whiter than snow/very clean).
8 Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
Allow/Cause me to be joyful [DOU] again; you have (crushed my spirit/completely discouraged me) [MTY]; [but now] let me rejoice [again].
9 Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
Do not continue to look at the sins [IDM] that I have committed; erase the record of the evil things that I have done.
10 Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
O God, cause my inner being to be pure. Put new [thoughts] within me and make me faithful again.
11 Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
Do not send me away from you [because of my sin], and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
Cause/Allow me to be happy again because of [knowing] that you have freed me [from the guilt of my sin], and make me willing [to obey you].
13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
If you do that, I will [be able to] teach [other] sinners what you want them to do, and they will repent and begin to obey you.
14 Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
O God, you are the one who saves me; forgive me for being guilty of causing someone [who was not my enemy] to die. [When you do that], I will sing joyfully about your being very good and righteous.
15 Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
O Yahweh, help me to speak [in order that] I may praise you.
16 Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
You are not pleased [only] with the sacrifices [that people bring to you]. If that were [enough to] please you, I would bring you sacrifices. You are not pleased with burnt offerings [alone].
17 Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
The sacrifice that you [really] want is for people to be truly humble and sorry [for having sinned]; O God, you will not refuse that kind of sacrifice.
18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
[O God], be good to [the people who live in] Jerusalem [MTY], [and help them] to rebuild the city walls.
19 Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
When that happens, [they will bring you] the proper sacrifices, animals that they will completely burn, young bulls that they will burn on your altar, and you will be pleased.
