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;
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ʻi he haʻu kiate ia ʻae palōfita ko Natani, hili ʻene fai kovi mo Patisepa. ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo manavaʻofa: ke ke tāmateʻi ʻeku ngaahi angahala ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;
Ke ke fufulu ʻaupito au mei heʻeku hia, mo fakamaʻa au mei heʻeku angahala:
3 For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:
He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa: pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu aipē ʻi hoku ʻao ʻeku angahala.
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.
Naʻaku fai angahala kiate koe, ʻio, kiate koe pē kuo u fai ʻae kovi ni ʻi ho ʻao; koeʻuhi ke tonuhia pe ʻa koe ʻoka ke ka folofola, pea māʻoniʻoni ʻoka ke ka fai ʻae fakamaau.
5 Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.
Vakai, naʻe fanauʻi au ʻi he angakovi pea naʻe tuʻituʻia ʻeku faʻē ʻiate au ko e angahala.
6 Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.
Vakai, ʻoku ke finangalo ki he moʻoni ʻi loto: pea ʻi he fufū te ke ngaohi ai au ke u ʻilo ʻae poto.
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?
Ke ke fakamaʻa au ʻaki ʻae ʻisope, pea te u maʻa ai: fufulu au, pea te u hinehina lahi ʻi he ʻuha hinehina.
8 Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.
Tuku ke u fanongo ki he fiefia mo e nekeneka; ke fiemālie ai ʻae ngaahi hui kuo ke fesiʻi.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, —And, all mine iniquities, blot out;
Ke ke fufū ho fofonga mei heʻeku angahala, mo ke tāmateʻi ʻeku ngaahi hia kotoa pē.
10 A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.
ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakatupu ʻiate au ʻae loto maʻa; mo ke fakafoʻou ʻiate au ha laumālie tuʻumaʻu.
11 Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:
ʻOua naʻa ke liʻaki au mei ho ʻao pea ʻoua naʻa ke toʻo ʻiate au ho laumālie māʻoniʻoni.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me: —
Toe ʻomi kiate au ʻae fiefia ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui; mo ke poupou ʻaki au ho laumālie tauʻatāina.
13 I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.
Pea te u akonaki ʻaki ʻae kau talangataʻa ʻa ho ngaahi hala; pea ʻe liliu kiate koe ʻae kau angahala.
14 Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;
ʻE ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he hia ʻoe toto: pea ʻe hiva kalanga ʻa hoku ʻelelo ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
15 O My Lord! my lips, wilt thou open, And, my mouth, shall declare thy praise.
ʻE ʻEiki ke ke faʻai hoku loungutu, pea ʻe fakahā atu ʻe hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo fakamālō.
16 For thou wilt not desire sacrifice—that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:
He ʻoku ʻikai te ke finangalo ki he feilaulau, koeʻuhi ke u ʻatu ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie ʻi he feilaulau tutu.
17 The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, —A heart—broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Ko e ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe ʻOtua ko e laumālie mafesi: ko e loto mafesi mo māfofoa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te ke manukiʻi.
18 Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!
Fai lelei ʻi ho finangalo lelei ki Saione: ke ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi ʻā ʻo Selūsalema.
19 Then, shalt thou desire the sacrifices of righteousness, Ascending-sacrifice and whole burnt-offering, Then, shall ascend upon thine altar, young bulls.
Pea te ke fiemālie ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, mo e feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu kotoa: pea te nau toki ʻatu ʻae fanga pulu ki hoʻo feilaulauʻanga.
