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!

Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Kane janabi Nathan obiro ire bangʼ ka Daudi noseterore gi Bathsheba. Kecha, yaye Nyasaye, kaluwore gi herani ma ok rem; gol kethona duto oko kuom ngʼwononi maduongʼ.

2 Make me pure from the wrong things that I have done; make me clean from [the guilt of] my sin.

Luok rochruokna duto oko kendo pwodha kuom richona.

3 [I say that] because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you; I cannot forget them.

Nikech angʼeyo kethona duto kendo richona osiko e nyima.

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].

In iwuon ema asekethoni kendo asetimo richo e nyim wangʼi, mano omiyo in kare ka iwuoyo kendo iwacho adiera ka ingʼadona bura.

5 I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; [truly], I have been like that since my mother conceived me.

En adier chutho ni nonywola e richo asebedo ka an jaricho chakre chiengʼ mane minwa omake ichna.

6 What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you [can] teach me how to act wisely.

Adier, idwaro ni dhano obed ja-adiera gie chunye iye emomiyo ipuonja rieko gie chunya maiye mogik.

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).

Lwoka maler gi owino eka abiro bedo maler; lwoka mondo abed marachar moloyo pe.

8 Allow/Cause me to be joyful [DOU] again; you have (crushed my spirit/completely discouraged me) [MTY]; [but now] let me rejoice [again].

We awinjie mor kod ilo; mi chokena misetoyo ochak obedie mamor.

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.

Pand wangʼi mondo kik ine richona kendo gol kethona duto oko.

10 O God, cause my inner being to be pure. Put new [thoughts] within me and make me faithful again.

Chwe chuny maler e iya, yaye Nyasaye, kendo los chuny motegno mosiko koluori iket e iya.

11 Do not send me away from you [because of my sin], and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.

Kik iriemba buti bende kik igol Roho Maler mari kuoma.

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].

Duogna mor ma warruokni kelo kendo mi abed gi chuny mohero timo dwaroni, mondo chuny makamano orita.

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.

Eka abiro puonjo joketho yoreni kendo joricho biro lokore duogo iri.

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.

Resa e ketho mar chwero remo, yaye Nyasaye, tim kamano, yaye Nyasaye ma wara, eka lewa biro wer kuom timni makare.

15 O Yahweh, help me to speak [in order that] I may praise you.

Yaye Ruoth yaw pien dhoga, eka dhoga biro hulo pakni.

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].

Ok imor gi misango mitimoni, nikech dine achiwonigo; misango miwangʼo pep ok miyi mor.

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.

Misango mar Nyasaye en chuny motur, chuny motur kendo mamuol, ok itamri, yaye Nyasaye.

18 [O God], be good to [the people who live in] Jerusalem [MTY], [and help them] to rebuild the city walls.

Mi Sayun odhi maber kuom herani; chak iger ohinga mag Jerusalem kendo.

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.

Eka ibiro yudo mor kuom misengni mag joma kare, kuom misango miwangʼo pep mochiw duto, kendo ibiro chiw rwedhi e kendoni mar misango.
