Psalms 51
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercie vpon me, O God, according to thy louing kindnes: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities.
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 throughly from mine iniquitie, and clense me from my sinne.
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 mine iniquities, and my sinne is euer 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 thee, against thee onely haue I sinned, and done euill in thy sight, that thou mayest be iust when thou speakest, and pure when thou iudgest.
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 Beholde, I was borne in iniquitie, and in sinne hath my mother conceiued me.
Eia hoi, ua hanaia au maloko o ka hewa; Maloko o ka lawehala ana i hapai ai ko'u makuwahine ia'u.
6 Beholde, thou louest trueth in the inwarde affections: therefore hast thou taught mee wisedome in the secret of mine heart.
Eia hoi, makemake oe i oiaio ko loko; A maloko o na wahi nalo e hoikeike mai oe ia'u i ka naauao.
7 Purge me with hyssope, and I shalbe cleane: wash me, and I shalbe whiter then snowe.
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 Make me to heare ioye and gladnes, that the bones, which thou hast broken, may reioyce.
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 thy face from my sinnes, and put away all mine 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 mee a cleane heart, O God, and renue 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 mee not away from thy presence, and take not thine 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 ioy of thy saluation, and stablish me with thy free Spirit.
E hoihoi mai ia'u i ka hauoli no kou ola; A e kokua mai ia'u me kou Uhane lokomaikai.
13 Then shall I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked, and sinners shalbe conuerted vnto thee.
Alaila, e ao aku au i na lawehala i kou mau aoao; A e hoohuliia na kanaka hewa ia oe.
14 Deliuer me from blood, O God, which art the God of my saluation, and my tongue shall sing ioyfully of thy righteousnes.
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 Open thou my lippes, O Lord, and my mouth shall shewe foorth thy praise.
E ka Haku, e wehe mai oe i ko'u lebelehe; A e hoike aku ko'u waha i kou hoolea.
16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would giue it: thou delitest not in burnt offering.
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 contrite spirit: a contrite and a broken heart, O God, thou wilt 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 Bee fauourable vnto Zion for thy good pleasure: builde the walles of Ierusalem.
E hana maikai mai oe ia Ziona i kou lokomaikai: E kukulu hoi oe i na pa o Ierusalema.
19 Then shalt thou accept ye sacrifices of righteousnes, euen the burnt offering and oblation: then shall they offer calues vpon thine 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.
