Psalms 51
1 O God, be merciful to me, because you love me faithfully; because you are very merciful, erase [the record of] the ways that I disobeyed you!
Aw Khawsa, na lungnaak amak dyt thai ak caming kai ve nim qeen cang lah; na thintlawhnaak ak bau soeih ing ka sai thawlhnaak ve caih law sak cang lah.
2 Make me pure from the wrong things that I have done; make me clean from [the guilt of] my sin.
Kang plawng thawlhnaak ve sil law nawhtaw ka thawlhnaak awhkawng ni ciim sak lah.
3 [I say that] because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you; I cannot forget them.
Ikawtih, ka sai thawlhnaak ve sim nyng saw, ka thawlhnaak ve ka haiawh awm loet hy.
4 You, you only, are the one that I have [really] sinned against, and you have seen the evil things that I have done. When you say that I am guilty, you are right/correct, and when you judge me, you justly say [that I deserve to be punished].
Nang ing ak kalh na, nang aven doengawh, thawlh hawh nawh namik huh awh ak che ik-oeih ce sai hawh vik nyng, cedawngawh awi nak kqawn awh na thymnaak ce dang nawh awi na ceknaak awh thym hyk ti.
5 I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; [truly], I have been like that since my mother conceived me.
Ka thang plek awhkawng thawlh qoe hawh nawh, ka nu puk khuiawh thawlh doena ni anik bah qoe hawh.
6 What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you [can] teach me how to act wisely.
Nang ingtaw ak khui ben awitak doeng ngaih nawh; kawlung am cei dyt awh nang ing cyihnaak ni cawngpyi hyk ti.
7 Purify me from the guilt of my sins, and [after that happens], I will be clean [in my inner being]; cleanse me, and [then in my inner being] I will be (whiter than snow/very clean).
Hyssop ing ni ciim sak nawhtaw, cawhtaw ciim hawh kawng nyng; ni sil nawhtaw, cawhtaw vyl anglakawh bawk hawh kawng nyng.
8 Allow/Cause me to be joyful [DOU] again; you have (crushed my spirit/completely discouraged me) [MTY]; [but now] let me rejoice [again].
Awmhly kaw zeelnaak awi ce ning zaak sak lah; na ek sak ka quhkhqi ve zeel lah seh.
9 Do not continue to look at the sins [IDM] that I have committed; erase the record of the evil things that I have done.
Ka thawlhnaak awh na haai thuh nawh kang plawng thawlhnaak ve caih law sak lah.
10 O God, cause my inner being to be pure. Put new [thoughts] within me and make me faithful again.
Aw Khawsa, kak khuiawh kawlung ciim sai law lah, kang myihla ve thai law sak pang lah.
11 Do not send me away from you [because of my sin], and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
Na ven awhkawng koeh nik khawng valh nawh nang Ciim Myihla awm koeh lo law valh cang.
12 Cause/Allow me to be happy again because of [knowing] that you have freed me [from the guilt of my sin], and make me willing [to obey you].
Na hulnaak zeelnaak ce ni pe tlaih nawhtaw na nim tunaak qap aham boe ak ngai myihla ce ni pe lah.
13 If you do that, I will [be able to] teach [other] sinners what you want them to do, and they will repent and begin to obey you.
Cawhtaw ik-oeih ak sai thawlh thlangkhqi ce na lam cawngpyi kawng nyng saw, thlak thawlhkhqi ing na venna hlat law tlaih kawm uh.
14 O God, you are the one who saves me; forgive me for being guilty of causing someone [who was not my enemy] to die. [When you do that], I will sing joyfully about your being very good and righteous.
Aw Khawsa, kai anik hulkung Khawsa, thi lawng sak thawlhnaak awhkawng ni hul cang lah, cawhtaw kam lai ing na dyngnaak laa ce sa kaw.
15 O Yahweh, help me to speak [in order that] I may praise you.
Aw Bawipa, ka hui ve awng law lah, cawhtaw kam kha ing nam kyihnaak ce kqawn kaw.
16 You are not pleased [only] with the sacrifices [that people bring to you]. If that were [enough to] please you, I would bring you sacrifices. You are not pleased with burnt offerings [alone].
Bulnaak awh nak kaw am zeel hy, cek kaa mantaw hawlaw hawh kawng nyng; hyih phumnaak awh awm am zeel bai hyk ti.
17 The sacrifice that you [really] want is for people to be truly humble and sorry [for having sinned]; O God, you will not refuse that kind of sacrifice.
Khawsa a bulnaak khqi taw myihlak kqek ve ni; kawlung kqek nawh kawseetnaak ve ni, Aw Khawsa ve ve nang ing am sit ti kawp ti.
18 [O God], be good to [the people who live in] Jerusalem [MTY], [and help them] to rebuild the city walls.
Na ngaihnaak amyihna Zion ce hang leek sak nawh; Jerusalem vawng ce thawh tlaih lah.
19 When that happens, [they will bring you] the proper sacrifices, animals that they will completely burn, young bulls that they will burn on your altar, and you will be pleased.
Cawhtaw dyngnaak bulnaak ce awm kawmsaw nang ak khawzeelnaak a cuna hyih phumnaak ce awm hawh kaw; cekcoengawh taw na bawkthang awh vaitawm caikhqi ce nawn law hawh kawm uh.
