< Psalms 51 >

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ نَاثَانُ بَعْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ. ارْحَمْنِي يَا اللهُ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَامْحُ مَعَاصِيَّ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَأْفَتِكَ.١
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
اغْسِلْنِي كُلِّيًّا مِنْ إِثْمِي، وَطَهِّرْنِي مِنْ خَطِيئَتِي.٢
3 For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
فَإِنَّنِي أُقِرُّ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، وَخَطِيئَتِي مَاثِلَةٌ أَمَامِي دَائِماً.٣
4 Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
إِلَيْكَ وَحْدَكَ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَالشَّرَّ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيْكَ صَنَعْتُ. لِكَي تَتَبَرَّرَ إِذَا حَكَمْتَ وَتَزْكُوَ إِذَا قَضَيْتَ.٤
5 For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
هَا إِنِّي بِالإِثْمِ قَدْ وُلِدْتُ وَفِي الْخَطِيئَةِ حَبِلَتْ بِي أُمِّي.٥
6 For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.
هَا أَنْتَ تَرْغَبُ أَنْ تَرَى الْحَقَّ فِي دَخِيلَةِ الإِنْسَانِ، فَتُعَرِّفُنِي الْحِكْمَةَ فِي قَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي.٦
7 You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
طَهِّرْنِي بِالزُّوفَا فَأَتَنَقَّى. اغْسِلْنِي فَأَبْيَضَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ.٧
8 You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
أَسْمِعْنِي صَوْتَ السُّرُورِ وَالْفَرَحِ، فَتَبْتَهِجَ عِظَامِي الَّتِي سَحَقْتَهَا.٨
9 Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
احْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ خَطَايَايَ وَامْحُ كُلَّ آثَامِي.٩
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
قَلْباً نَقِيًّا اخْلُقْ فِيَّ يَا اللهُ وَرُوحاً مُسْتَقِيماً جَدِّدْ فِي دَاخِلِي.١٠
11 Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.
لَا تَطْرُدْنِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ، وَلَا تَنْزِعْ مِنِّي رُوحَكَ القُدُّوسَ.١١
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.
رُدَّ لِي بَهْجَتِي بِخَلاصِكَ، وَبِرُوحٍ رَضِيَّةٍ آزِرْنِي١٢
13 [Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.
عِنْدَئِذٍ أُعَلِّمُ الأَثَمَةَ طُرُقَكَ، فَيَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ الْخَاطِئُونَ.١٣
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.
أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ يَا اللهُ، يَا إِلَهَ خَلاصِي، فَيُرَنِّمَ لِسَانِي بِبِرِّكَ.١٤
15 O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.
يَا رَبُّ افْتَحْ شَفَتَيَّ فَيُذِيعَ فَمِي تَسْبِيحَكَ.١٥
16 For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.
فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسَرُّ بِذَبِيحَةٍ، وَإلَّا كُنْتُ أُقَدِّمُهَا. بِمُحْرَقَةٍ لَا تَرْضَى.١٦
17 Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
إِنَّ الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي يَطْلُبُهَا اللهُ هِيَ رُوحٌ مُنْكَسِرَةٌ. فَلَا تَحْتَقِرَنَّ الْقَلْبَ الْمُنْكَسِرَ وَالْمُنْسَحِقَ يَا اللهُ.١٧
18 Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
أَحْسِنْ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِمُقْتَضَى مَسَرَّتِكَ. وَابْنِ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.١٨
19 Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَرْضَى بِذَبَائِحِ الْبِرِّ، وَمُحْرَقَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةٍ تَامَّةٍ. حِينَئِذٍ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ عُجُولاً.١٩
