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.
[Psalm lal David, Tukun Mwet Palu Nathan el Kaskas nu sel ke Tafongla lal yorol Bathsheba] Pakoten nu sik, O God, Ke sripen lungse kawil lom! Ke pakoten lulap lom, Eela ma koluk luk!
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Ohlla ma koluk luk nukewa Ac aknasnasyeyula liki ma koluk luk!
3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Nga akilen tafongla luk, Ac ma koluk luk oan in nunak luk pacl e nukewa.
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.
Nga oru ma koluk lain kom, aok lain kom mukena, Ac oru ma su tia wo ye motom. Ke ma inge fal kom in nununkeyu. Oasr suwohs lom in lisyula.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Nga nuna koluk oe ke len se nga isusla ah me; Liki pacl se nga srimetak, nga nuna mwet koluk.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
Orekma suwohs ac inse pwaye pa kom lungsum; Nwakla nunak luk ke lalmwetmet lom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Aknasnasyeyu ke sak hyssop, ac nga fah nasnasla; Oulyula ac nga fah fasrfasr liki snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
Lela nga in lohng pusren engan ac insewowo; Finne kom tuh itungyuwi ac kunausyula, Nga ac sifil pacna enganak.
9 Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Afinya motom liki ma koluk luk Ac eela ma koluk luk nukewa.
10 Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
Kom in oru insiuk in nasnas, O God, Ac ase sie ngun sasu ac pwaye in nga.
11 Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Nikmet lisyula liki ye motom; Nikmet eisla ngun mutal lom likiyu.
12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
Sifilpa ase nu sik engan su tuku ke molela lom, Ac oru tuh nga in insewowo in akos kom.
13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
Na nga fah luti mwet koluk ke ma kom sapkin, Ac elos ac fah foloko nu yurum.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Sruokya moul luk, O God, ac moliyula, Ac nga fah engan in fahkak ke suwoswos lom.
15 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
Leum, kasreyu tuh nga in ku in kaskas, Ac nga fah kaksakin kom.
16 For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Kom tia lungse mwe kisa; Kom funu lungse, nga lukun orek kisa; Kom tiana insewowo ke mwe kisa firir.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
O God, mwe kisa luk uh pa inse pusisel — Kom ac tia pilesru sie inse pusisel su auliyak.
18 Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
O God, kulang nu sin Zion ac kasrel; Sifilpa musaeak pot Jerusalem.
19 Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
Na kom fah insewowo ke mwe kisa pwaye Ac ke mwe kisa firir lasr; Ac cow mukul fah kisakinyuk fin loang lom.
