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.
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 me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
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.
Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
9 Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
10 Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
11 Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
15 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
16 For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
18 Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
19 Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
