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.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov, Ko je prišel k njemu Natan prerok, potem ko se je bil sešèl z Betsebo. Milosten mi bodi, o Bog, po dobroti svoji; po obilosti svojega usmiljenja izbriši pregrehe moje.

2 Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

Dobro me operi krivice moje, in greha mojega očisti me.

3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

Ker pregrehe svoje jaz spoznavam, in greh moj biva mi vedno pred očmi.

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.

Tebi, tebi samemu sem grešil, in storil kar se zlo vidi v tvojih očeh; da se opravičiš v govorih svojih; čist si, kader ti sodiš.

5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

Glej, v krivici sem storjen in v grehu me je spočela mati moja.

6 Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Glej, resnice se raduješ v osrčji; in skrivaj si mi razodél modrost svojo.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Očisti me z isopom, da bodem čist; operi me, da bodem bel nad sneg.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

Stóri, da čujem veselje in radost, radujejo se kosti, katere si potrl.

9 Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.

Skrij srdito obličje svoje grehom mojim, in vse krivice moje izbriši.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Srce mi čisto ustvari, Bog, in duh krepak ponovi v meni.

11 Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

Ne zavrzi me izpred svojega obličja; in svojega svetega duha ne jemlji od mene nazaj.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.

Daj mi nazaj veselje blaginje svoje; in z duhom blagodušnosti podpiraj me.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

Učil bodem krivičnike pota tvoja, da se grešniki povrnejo k tebi.

14 Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

Reši me krvi, o Bog, Bog blaginje moje; jezik moj naj poje pravico tvojo.

15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.

Gospod, odpri moje ustne, in usta moja bodejo oznanjala hvalo tvojo.

16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

Ker ne veseliš se daritve; nočeš, da dajem žgalni dar.

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

Daritve Božje so duh potrt; srca potrtega in pobitega, o Bog, ne zametaš.

18 In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Oblagodari po dobri volji Sijon; sezidaj zidovje Jeruzalemsko.

19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.

Tedaj se bodeš veselil daritev pravice, žgalnih in celih daritev; tedaj bodo pobožni pokladali junce na tvoj oltar.
