Psalms 51
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.
E ALOHA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, e like me kou lokomaikai; Mamuli o ka nui loa o kou aloha e hoopau i ko'u mau hala.
2 Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
E holoi lea mai ia'u i pau kuu hewa; A e hoomaemae mai hoi ia'u i ko'u lawehala ana.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
No ka mea, ke hoike aku nei au i ko'u mau hala; Mau no hoi ko'u hewa imua o kuu alo.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.
O oe, oe wale no ka'u i lawehala ai, A i hana hewa hoi imua o kou mau maka: I pono oe i kau olelo ana, I hemolele hoi i kuu hoahewa ana mai.
5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
Eia hoi, ua hanaia au maloko o ka hewa; Maloko o ka lawehala ana i hapai ai ko'u makuwahine ia'u.
6 Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Eia hoi, makemake oe i oiaio ko loko; A maloko o na wahi nalo e hoikeike mai oe ia'u i ka naauao.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
E huikala mai oe ia'u me ka husopa, a e maemae no wau: E holoi mai ia'u, a e oi aku kuu keokeo i ko ka hau.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
E haawi mai e lohe au i ka hauoli a me ka olioli; I hauoli hoi na iwi au i uhaki mai ai.
9 Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
E huna oe i kou maka i ko'u mau lawehala ana, A e hoopau i ko'u mau hewa a pau.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
E haawi mai i naau maemae no'u, e ke Akua; E hana hou mai hoi i uhane kupono iloko o'u.
11 Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
Mai kiola ae oe ia'u mai kou alo ae; Aole hoi e lawe aku i kou Uhane Hemolele mai o'u aku nei.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
E hoihoi mai ia'u i ka hauoli no kou ola; A e kokua mai ia'u me kou Uhane lokomaikai.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.
Alaila, e ao aku au i na lawehala i kou mau aoao; A e hoohuliia na kanaka hewa ia oe.
14 Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
E hoopakele ae ia'u i na koko, e ke Akua, e ko'u Akua e ola'i; A e himeni leo nui aku au i kou pono.
15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
E ka Haku, e wehe mai oe i ko'u lebelehe; A e hoike aku ko'u waha i kou hoolea.
16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.
No ka mea, aole oe i makemake i ka alana; Alaila, e haawi aku no wau ia; Aole oe i oluolu mai i na mohaikuni.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
O na mohai no ke Akua oia ka uhane mihi: O ka naau mihi me ka pepe, o kau ia, e ke Akua e hoowahawaha ole ai.
18 In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
E hana maikai mai oe ia Ziona i kou lokomaikai: E kukulu hoi oe i na pa o Ierusalema.
19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
Alaila, e oluolu mai oe i na mohai o ka pono, I na mohaikuni, na mohaikuni okoa hoi; Alaila e kaumaha aku lakou i na bipi maluna o kou kuahu.
