< 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.
Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Nígbà ti wòlíì Natani tọ wá, lẹ́yìn tí Dafidi dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgbèrè rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Batṣeba. Ṣàánú fún mi, Ọlọ́run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdúró ṣinṣin ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pọ̀ àánú rẹ̀ kí o sì pa gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi rẹ́.
2 Wash away all my guilt; cleanse me from my sin.
Wẹ gbogbo àìṣedéédéé mi nù kúrò kí o sì wẹ̀ mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi!
3 I admit my rebellion; my sin always stares me in my face.
Nítorí mo mọ̀ gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi, nígbà gbogbo ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi wà níwájú mi.
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.
Sí ọ, ìwọ nìkan ṣoṣo, ni mo dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ni mo sì ṣe búburú níwájú rẹ̀, kí a lè dá ọ láre nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì le wà láìlẹ́bi, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń ṣe ìdájọ́.
5 It's true that I was born guilty—sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Nítòótọ́, nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni a ti bí mi, nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni ìyá mí sì lóyún mi.
6 But you want truth on the inside; you teach me wisdom deep within.
Nítòótọ́ ìwọ fẹ́ òtítọ́ ní inú; ìwọ kọ́ mi ní ọgbọ́n ní ìhà ìkọ̀kọ̀.
7 Purify me with hyssop so I can be clean; wash me so I can be whiter than snow.
Wẹ̀ mí pẹ̀lú ewé hísópù, èmi yóò sì mọ́; fọ̀ mí, èmi yóò sì funfun ju yìnyín lọ.
8 Please let me hear joy and happiness again; let the bones you have crushed be glad once more.
Jẹ́ kí n gbọ́ ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn; jẹ́ kí gbogbo egungun tí ìwọ ti run kí ó máa yọ̀.
9 Turn your face away from looking at my sins; please wipe away my guilt.
Pa ojú rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi kí o sì pa gbogbo àwọn àìṣedéédéé mi rẹ́.
10 Create a pure mind in me, God, and make me trustworthy again.
Dá ọkàn mímọ́ sí inú mi, Ọlọ́run, kí o sì tún ẹ̀mí dídúró ṣinṣin ṣe sínú mi.
11 Don't expel me from your presence; don't take away your Holy Spirit from me.
Má ṣe jù mi nù kúrò níwájú rẹ, kí o má ṣe gba Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́ mi.
12 Give me back the happiness of your salvation; help me to have a willing nature.
Mú ayọ̀ ìgbàlà rẹ tọ̀ mí wá, kí o sì fún mi ní ẹ̀mí ìfẹ́, tí yóò mú mi dúró.
13 Then I will teach your ways to rebellious people, and these sinners will come back to you.
Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò máa kọ́ àwọn olùrékọjá ní ọ̀nà rẹ, àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ yóò sì yí padà sí ọ.
14 God, please forgive me for the blood I have shed, God of my salvation, and I will sing for joy of your goodness.
Gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀, Ọlọ́run, ìwọ Ọlọ́run ìgbàlà mi, ahọ́n mi yóò sì máa kọrin òdodo rẹ kíkan.
15 Open my lips so I can speak your praise!
Olúwa, ṣí mi ní ètè mi gbogbo, àti ẹnu mi yóò sì máa kéde ìyìn rẹ.
16 For sacrifices don't make you happy, or I would bring one; burnt offerings aren't what pleases you.
Nítorí ìwọ kò ní inú dídùn sí ẹbọ, tí èmi kò bá mú wá; Ìwọ kò ní inú dídùn sí ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun.
17 The “sacrifices” that God wants are on the inside—the brokenness of repentance. God won't reject a broken and sorrowful heart.
Ẹbọ Ọlọ́run ni ìròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn ìròbìnújẹ́ àti ìrora àyà.
18 Be kind to Zion, help the city; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Ṣe rere ní dídùn inú rẹ sí Sioni, ṣe rere; tún odi Jerusalẹmu mọ.
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.
Nígbà náà ni inú rẹ yóò dùn sí ẹbọ òdodo, pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, nígbà náà ni wọn yóò fi akọ màlúù rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ rẹ.
