Psalms 51
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba. God, please be gracious to me, because of your trustworthy love, because of your infinite kindness please wipe away my sins.
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!
2 Wash away all my guilt; cleanse me from my sin.
Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
3 I admit my rebellion; my sin always stares me in my face.
Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
4 I have sinned against you, you alone. I have done evil in your sight. So you are right in what you say, and fair when you judge.
Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
5 It's true that I was born guilty—sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
6 But you want truth on the inside; you teach me wisdom deep within.
Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
7 Purify me with hyssop so I can be clean; wash me so I can be whiter than snow.
Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
8 Please let me hear joy and happiness again; let the bones you have crushed be glad once more.
Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
9 Turn your face away from looking at my sins; please wipe away my guilt.
Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
10 Create a pure mind in me, God, and make me trustworthy again.
Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
11 Don't expel me from your presence; don't take away your Holy Spirit from me.
Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
12 Give me back the happiness of your salvation; help me to have a willing nature.
Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
13 Then I will teach your ways to rebellious people, and these sinners will come back to you.
Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
14 God, please forgive me for the blood I have shed, God of my salvation, and I will sing for joy of your goodness.
Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
15 Open my lips so I can speak your praise!
Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
16 For sacrifices don't make you happy, or I would bring one; burnt offerings aren't what pleases you.
Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
17 The “sacrifices” that God wants are on the inside—the brokenness of repentance. God won't reject a broken and sorrowful heart.
Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
18 Be kind to Zion, help the city; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
19 Then you will be pleased with sacrifices given in the right spirit, for all kinds of burnt offerings, and bulls sacrificed on your altar once more.
Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
