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!

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

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

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

For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly 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, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

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

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

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

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

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

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

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

Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

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

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

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

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

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

Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t 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. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

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

Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners will be converted to you.

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

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.

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

Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

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

For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

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

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

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

Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

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

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.
