Zaburi 51
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Kane janabi Nathan obiro ire bangʼ ka Daudi noseterore gi Bathsheba. Kecha, yaye Nyasaye, kaluwore gi herani ma ok rem; gol kethona duto oko kuom ngʼwononi maduongʼ.
Have gracious pity on me, God, according to your chesed ·loving-kindness·. According to the multitude of your tender rachamim ·merciful loves·, blot out my rebellious breaches of relationships.
2 Luok rochruokna duto oko kendo pwodha kuom richona.
Wash me thoroughly from my depravity (moral evil). Cleanse me from my habitual sin ·missing the mark·.
3 Nikech angʼeyo kethona duto kendo richona osiko e nyima.
For I know my rebellious breaches of relationships. My habitual sin ·missing the mark· is constantly before me.
4 In iwuon ema asekethoni kendo asetimo richo e nyim wangʼi, mano omiyo in kare ka iwuoyo kendo iwacho adiera ka ingʼadona bura.
Against you, and you only, have I sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 En adier chutho ni nonywola e richo asebedo ka an jaricho chakre chiengʼ mane minwa omake ichna.
Behold, I was born in depravity (moral evil). In crime deserving penalty, sin ·missing the goal· my mother conceived me.
6 Adier, idwaro ni dhano obed ja-adiera gie chunye iye emomiyo ipuonja rieko gie chunya maiye mogik.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Lwoka maler gi owino eka abiro bedo maler; lwoka mondo abed marachar moloyo pe.
Cleanse sin ·err (the standard goal)· from me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Hide your face from my crimes deserving penalty, sins ·missing the goal·, and blot out all of my depravities (moral evils).
10 Chwe chuny maler e iya, yaye Nyasaye, kendo los chuny motegno mosiko koluori iket e iya.
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
11 Kik iriemba buti bende kik igol Roho Maler mari kuoma.
Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Ruach Kodesh [Holy Spirit, Breath] from me.
12 Duogna mor ma warruokni kelo kendo mi abed gi chuny mohero timo dwaroni, mondo chuny makamano orita.
Restore to me the joy of your yesha' ·salvation·. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Eka abiro puonjo joketho yoreni kendo joricho biro lokore duogo iri.
Then I will teach the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship, teach them your ways. People who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal· shall be converted to you.

15 Yaye Ruoth yaw pien dhoga, eka dhoga biro hulo pakni.
Adonai, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your tehilah ·praise song·.
16 Ok imor gi misango mitimoni, nikech dine achiwonigo; misango miwangʼo pep ok miyi mor.
For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 Misango mar Nyasaye en chuny motur, chuny motur kendo mamuol, ok itamri, yaye Nyasaye.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

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.
