< Psalms 51 >

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
Aka mawt ham, Bathsheba taengla a caeh vanbangla tonghma Nathan loh anih a paan vaengkah David tingtoenglung Pathen aw kai n'rhen lah. Na sitlohnah neh na haidamnah a cungkuem vanbangla ka boekoeknah he han huih mai.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Kai kathaesainah loh a yet khaw a yet oeh dongah kai n'sil lamtah ka tholhnah lamkah kai n'caihcil lah.
3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Kamah kah boekoek te kamah loh ka ming tih ka tholhnah loh kamah hmaiah om taitu.
4 Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest.
Nang namah bueng taengah ka tholh tih na mikhmuh ah boethae ka saii. Tedae na thui vaengah nan tang sak tih nan cawh vaengah nan cim sak.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Thaesainah neh ka thang tih tholhnah neh a nu loh kai n'yom.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
Kodang khuikah oltak te na ngaih dongah cueihnah na kael neh kai nan tuk nan kil.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Pumpiding neh kai nan cil daengah ni ka caihcil eh. Kai nan silh daengah ni vuelsong lakah ka bok eh.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
Omngaihnah neh kohoenah te kai nan yaak sak dongah na khaem tangtae rhuhrhong long khaw omngaih uh saeh.
9 Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Ka tholhnah dongah na maelhmai thuh mai lamtah ka thaesainah boeih he han huih lah.
10 Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
Pathen aw kai ham aka caih lungbuei han suen lamtah ka khui kah mueihla he cikngae la pan han tlaih lah.
11 Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Kai he namah mikhmuh lamkah m'voei boel lamtah kai taengkah Mueihla Cim lo boel mai.
12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
Na daemnah, omngaihnah te kai taengah ha mael lamtah, moeihoeihnah mueihla loh kai n'talong saeh.
13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
Boekoek rhoek te na khosing ka cang puei vetih hlangtholh rhoek loh nang taengla ha bal uh bitni.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Pathen, ka loeihnah Pathen hlang thii lamkah kai n'huul lah. Nang kah duengnah te ka lai loh tamhoe puei saeh.
15 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
Ka Boeipa aw, ka hmui he han ong lamtah ka ka loh nang koehnah te doek saeh.
16 For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Hmueih he na ngaih pawt dongah ni na ngaih koinih kam paek mai sue. Hmueihhlutnah khaw na doe moenih.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Pathen kah a ngaih hmueih tah mueihla aka paeng ke ni. Lungbuei aka paeng tih aka paep te Pathen nang loh na hnawt moenih.
18 Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Namah kah kolonah dongah Zion te khophoeng pha sak lamtah Jerusalem vongtung te khueng pah.
19 Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
Te vaengah, duengnah hmueih, hmueihhlutnah khaw boeih na ngaih vetih na hmueihtuk ah vaito a khuen uh ni.
