Psalms 51
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had slept with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, because of your covenant faithfulness; for the sake of the multitude of your merciful actions, blot out my transgressions.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Kad je k Davidu došao prorok Natan poslije njegova grijeha Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje!
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
4 Against you, you only, I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.
Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
5 See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
6 See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
8 Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
10 Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
11 Do not drive me away from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
13 Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted to you.
Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
14 Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express your praise.
Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
16 For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
18 Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
19 Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then our people will offer bulls on your altar.
Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
