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.
E ALOHA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, e like me kou lokomaikai; Mamuli o ka nui loa o kou aloha e hoopau i ko'u mau hala.
2 Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,
E holoi lea mai ia'u i pau kuu hewa; A e hoomaemae mai hoi ia'u i ko'u lawehala ana.
3 For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.
No ka mea, ke hoike aku nei au i ko'u mau hala; Mau no hoi ko'u hewa imua o kuu alo.
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.
O oe, oe wale no ka'u i lawehala ai, A i hana hewa hoi imua o kou mau maka: I pono oe i kau olelo ana, I hemolele hoi i kuu hoahewa ana mai.
5 Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.
Eia hoi, ua hanaia au maloko o ka hewa; Maloko o ka lawehala ana i hapai ai ko'u makuwahine ia'u.
6 Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.
Eia hoi, makemake oe i oiaio ko loko; A maloko o na wahi nalo e hoikeike mai oe ia'u i ka naauao.
7 You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.
E huikala mai oe ia'u me ka husopa, a e maemae no wau: E holoi mai ia'u, a e oi aku kuu keokeo i ko ka hau.
8 You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.
E haawi mai e lohe au i ka hauoli a me ka olioli; I hauoli hoi na iwi au i uhaki mai ai.
9 Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.
E huna oe i kou maka i ko'u mau lawehala ana, A e hoopau i ko'u mau hewa a pau.
10 Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.
E haawi mai i naau maemae no'u, e ke Akua; E hana hou mai hoi i uhane kupono iloko o'u.
11 Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Mai kiola ae oe ia'u mai kou alo ae; Aole hoi e lawe aku i kou Uhane Hemolele mai o'u aku nei.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.
E hoihoi mai ia'u i ka hauoli no kou ola; A e kokua mai ia'u me kou Uhane lokomaikai.
13 I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.
Alaila, e ao aku au i na lawehala i kou mau aoao; A e hoohuliia na kanaka hewa ia oe.
14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.
E hoopakele ae ia'u i na koko, e ke Akua, e ko'u Akua e ola'i; A e himeni leo nui aku au i kou pono.
15 O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.
E ka Haku, e wehe mai oe i ko'u lebelehe; A e hoike aku ko'u waha i kou hoolea.
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.
No ka mea, aole oe i makemake i ka alana; Alaila, e haawi aku no wau ia; Aole oe i oluolu mai i na mohaikuni.
17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.
O na mohai no ke Akua oia ka uhane mihi: O ka naau mihi me ka pepe, o kau ia, e ke Akua e hoowahawaha ole ai.
18 Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.
E hana maikai mai oe ia Ziona i kou lokomaikai: E kukulu hoi oe i na pa o Ierusalema.
19 Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
Alaila, e oluolu mai oe i na mohai o ka pono, I na mohaikuni, na mohaikuni okoa hoi; Alaila e kaumaha aku lakou i na bipi maluna o kou kuahu.
