< Psalms 51 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David mah Bathsheba zae haih pacoengah, anih khae tahmaa Nathan angzoh nathuem ih. David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nam lunghaih hoiah na tahmen raeh: na palung nathaih kalen parai hoiah ka sakpazaehaihnawk hae ciimsak ah.
2 Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,
Ka sakpazaehaih pasae paeh loe, ka zaehaih thung hoiah na ciimsak ah.
3 For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.
Tipongah tih nahaeloe ka sakpazae ih hmuennawk to ka panoek: ka zaehaih loe ka hmaa ah oh poe boeh.
4 Against You, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.
Na lok ka aek moeng boeh, nang khae khue ah, zaehaih ka sak moe, na hmaa ah sethaih ka sak moeng boeh: to pongah lok na thuih naah na toenghaih to amtueng, coek koi om ai ah lok na caek.
5 Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.
Khenah, tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah ka zae boeh; kam no mah zaehaih hoiah ang pomh boeh.
6 Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.
Khenah, nang loe athung ah loktang oh hanah na koeh: ka palung hanah palunghahaih to na patuk ah.
7 You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.
Hyssop hoiah na pasae ah, to tiah nahaeloe ka ciim tih: na pasae ah, to tih nahaeloe dantui pongah kang lung kue tih.
8 You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.
Anghoehaih hoi oephaih lok to na thaisak ah; to tiah nahaeloe nang khaehsak ih ka huhnawk to anghoe o tih.
9 Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.
Ka zaehaihnawk pongah na mikhmai to hawk ving ah loe, ka sakpazaehaihnawk boih to ciimsak ah.
10 Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.
Aw Sithaw, ka thungah kaciim palung to suem ah, ka thungah muithla to angthasak ah.
11 Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Na hmaa hoiah na haek ving hmah, kai khae ih kacai na Muithla to la ving hmah.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.
Na pahlonghaih hoi kasaeng anghoehaih to na paek let ah loe, poekhoihaih hoiah na patawn ah.
13 I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.
To tiah nahaeloe hmuen sah pazae kaminawk khaeah na loklam to ka patuek thai ueloe, zae kaminawk doeh nang khaeah amlaem o let tih.
14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.
Aw Sithaw, kai akrangkung Sithaw, kami athii palong zaehaih thung hoiah na pahlong ah: to tiah nahaeloe ka palai mah na toenghaih laa to sah tih.
15 O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.
Aw Angraeng, ka pahni hae paong ah: to tiah nahaeloe ka pakha mah nang pakoehhaih lok to thui tih.
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.
Nang loe angbawnhaih to na koeh ai; nang koeh nahaeloe angbawnhaih to kang paek han boeh: nang loe hmai angbawnhaih ah nang hoe ai.
17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.
Sithaw mah koeh ih angbawnhaihnawk loe, kamro phaeng palung hae ni: Aw Sithaw, kakoi phaeng palung hoi dawnpakhuemhaih palung tawn kaminawk to na patoek mak ai.
18 Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.
Zion mae loe na koehhaih baktiah omsak ah; Jerusalem sipaenawk to pathawk let ah.
19 Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
To naah toenghaih hoi paek ih angbawnhaih, hmai angbawnhaih, takpum boih hmai angbawnhaih to nang hoe haih tih; to pacoengah loe nihcae mah na hmaicam ah maitaw taenawk to paek o tih boeh.
