Psalms 51
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na pahren han ngai e patetlah na pahren haw. Kapap ni teh kahawi e na lungmanae dawkvah, kâtapoenae hah na tha pouh haw.
2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Ka sakpayon e pueng kathoungcalah na pâsu pouh haw. Ka yonnae dawk hoi na thoung sak haw.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
Kâtapoenae hah ka panue toe. Ka yonnae teh pou ka pouk.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
Nang taranlahoi nang koe roeroe ka yon toe. Na mithmu vah hawihoehnae ka sak toe. Ka kong na dei toteh atang doeh. Lawk na ceng toteh, toun han awm hoeh.
5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Kai teh payonnae lahoi khe e lah ka o teh, anu ni yon hoi doeh na vawn toe.
6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Lungthin kalan e hah na ngai dawkvah, ka lungthin thung lungangnae hah na cangkhai haw.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Dingsala hoi na hui haw, ka thoung han. Na pâsu haw tadamtui patetlah ka pangaw han.
8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Na khoe tangcoung e hrunaw konawm nahanlah, konawmnae hoi lunghawinae lawk na thaisak haw.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Ka yonnae dawk hoi na minhmai hrawk nateh, ka yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Oe Cathut, ka thungvah lungthin kathoung bout sak nateh, kai dawk kacakpounge muitha hah bout roung sak haw.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
Nang koehoi na pâlei hanh lah a. Na Kathoung Muitha teh kai koehoi na lat pouh hanh.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
Na rungngangnae dawk konawmnae hah bout na poe haw. Hringpasoungnae na Muitha hoi na kuen haw.
13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
Hottelah, kâtapoenaw hah na lamthung ka cangkhai vaiteh, tamikayonnaw teh nang koe a kâthung awh han.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Oe Cathut, kaie rungngangnae Cathut, tami thei e yon hoi na hlout sak haw. Na lannae hah ka lai ni kacaipounglah la a sak han.
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni heh paawng nateh, ka pahni ni na pholen han.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, thuengnae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, yo na poe han doeh toe. Hmaisawi thuengnae dawk hai na lungyouknae awm hoeh.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Cathut ngai e patetlah thuengnae hateh, muitha rek e hah doeh. Lungthin rek laihoi pankângai e heh, Oe Cathut, banglahai noutna laipalah na awm mahoeh.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
Zion vah na ngai e hawinae hah sak haw, Jerusalem rapan hah kangdout sak haw.
19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
Hottelah hoiyah, lannae thuengnae hoi hmaisawi thuengnae hoi takbuem hmaisawi thuengnae dawk na lunghawi vaiteh, na thuengnae khoungroe van vah, maitotan hah a thueng awh han.
