Psalms 51
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. When Nathan the Prophet had come to him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba. Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na pahren han ngai e patetlah na pahren haw. Kapap ni teh kahawi e na lungmanae dawkvah, kâtapoenae hah na tha pouh haw.
2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;
Ka sakpayon e pueng kathoungcalah na pâsu pouh haw. Ka yonnae dawk hoi na thoung sak haw.
3 For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:
Kâtapoenae hah ka panue toe. Ka yonnae teh pou ka pouk.
4 Against thee—against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness—in thine eyes, have I done, —That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest, —Be clear when thou judgest.
Nang taranlahoi nang koe roeroe ka yon toe. Na mithmu vah hawihoehnae ka sak toe. Ka kong na dei toteh atang doeh. Lawk na ceng toteh, toun han awm hoeh.
5 Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.
Kai teh payonnae lahoi khe e lah ka o teh, anu ni yon hoi doeh na vawn toe.
6 Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.
Lungthin kalan e hah na ngai dawkvah, ka lungthin thung lungangnae hah na cangkhai haw.
7 Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?
Dingsala hoi na hui haw, ka thoung han. Na pâsu haw tadamtui patetlah ka pangaw han.
8 Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.
Na khoe tangcoung e hrunaw konawm nahanlah, konawmnae hoi lunghawinae lawk na thaisak haw.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, —And, all mine iniquities, blot out;
Ka yonnae dawk hoi na minhmai hrawk nateh, ka yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw.
10 A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.
Oe Cathut, ka thungvah lungthin kathoung bout sak nateh, kai dawk kacakpounge muitha hah bout roung sak haw.
11 Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:
Nang koehoi na pâlei hanh lah a. Na Kathoung Muitha teh kai koehoi na lat pouh hanh.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me: —
Na rungngangnae dawk konawmnae hah bout na poe haw. Hringpasoungnae na Muitha hoi na kuen haw.
13 I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.
Hottelah, kâtapoenaw hah na lamthung ka cangkhai vaiteh, tamikayonnaw teh nang koe a kâthung awh han.
14 Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;
Oe Cathut, kaie rungngangnae Cathut, tami thei e yon hoi na hlout sak haw. Na lannae hah ka lai ni kacaipounglah la a sak han.
15 O My Lord! my lips, wilt thou open, And, my mouth, shall declare thy praise.
Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni heh paawng nateh, ka pahni ni na pholen han.
16 For thou wilt not desire sacrifice—that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:
Bangkongtetpawiteh, thuengnae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, yo na poe han doeh toe. Hmaisawi thuengnae dawk hai na lungyouknae awm hoeh.
17 The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, —A heart—broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Cathut ngai e patetlah thuengnae hateh, muitha rek e hah doeh. Lungthin rek laihoi pankângai e heh, Oe Cathut, banglahai noutna laipalah na awm mahoeh.
18 Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!
Zion vah na ngai e hawinae hah sak haw, Jerusalem rapan hah kangdout sak haw.
19 Then, shalt thou desire the sacrifices of righteousness, Ascending-sacrifice and whole burnt-offering, Then, shall ascend upon thine altar, young bulls.
Hottelah hoiyah, lannae thuengnae hoi hmaisawi thuengnae hoi takbuem hmaisawi thuengnae dawk na lunghawi vaiteh, na thuengnae khoungroe van vah, maitotan hah a thueng awh han.
