Psalms 51

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David, in the coming in unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

O Pathen Elohim, na mingailutna longlou jeh'in na mi khotona chu neimusah in. Na mi hepina kidangtah jeh chun ka chonset nenbeh jouse neisuhbei peh in.

2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,

Kathemmona ho jouse'a kon'in neisutheng in lang neisoptheng in, ka chonsetna a kon'in neisuthengsel in.

3 For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually.

Ajeh chu ka phatlouna ka kihet'in sun le jan'in eijui jing'in ahi.

4 Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

Nangma douna mong'a chonse ka hi, Nangma mitmun thilse chu ka na bol tai. Na thusei in nadihna aphondoh ding ahi, chuleh ka chung'a nathutan jong adih'in ahi.

5 Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.

Ajeh chu ka nu oisung'a ka ki jil'a pat'a chonset pum'a kijil ka hin chonsesa hung peng a ka hi.

6 Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

Hinla nang'in ka nu oisung'a pat'in jong atheng a ka um ding nana ngaichat ahin hiche mun jeng'a jong chu chihna lungthim neina hilpat ahitai.

7 Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.

Ka chonsetna a kon'in neisutheng lechun ka then ding ahitai, neisoptheng lechun buhbang sang'in theng tang'e.

8 Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.

Oh! Ka kipana neipekit in, nang'in nei hesoh sah ahin tun neikipasah kit tan.

9 Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

Ka chonsetna ho neivet peh jing hih in, ka setna nenbeh ho sumang in.

10 A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

Lungthimthah neisem peh in O Yahweh Pakai. Kasunga um lhagao hi nei thah sempeh in.

11 Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.

Na angsung'a kon'in neipaidoh hih'in, chuleh keija kon'in na Lhagao Theng chu lamang hih'in.

12 Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.

Nei huhhing nikho'a ka kipana chu avel'in neipe kit in lang chuleh nathu'a nung jing mi neihisah in,

13 I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.

Chuteng na thua nunglou ho jong nangma deilam'a ahung chonna di'uva ka hil ding chutengleh amaho nangma kom lang'a hung kile kit ding ahi'uve.

14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.

O Pathen Elohim mi huhhingpu, keiman thisan kaso tahjeh in neingaidam'in chutileh neingaidamna chu kipah tah'a vahchoila a ka sah ding ahi.

15 O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.

O Yahweh Pakai lungnachim'a nangma ka vahchoi theina ding'in ka lei neilhap peh'in.

16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.

Nangman kilhaina thilpeh na ngaicha pon, pumgo thilto ding khat jong na ngaicha pon ahi.

17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.

Nang in na ngaichat kilhaina chu-Lhagaova kisuh gep ahin, nang'in lung kisuchip pum'a kisihna neiho napaidoh poi o Yahweh Pakai.

18 Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.

Zion hi lungsetna mitvet in venlang hin kithopin, Jerusalem pal hinsem phan.

19 Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!

Chutengleh kilhaina lungtheng sel a kipe pumgo thilto hon lunglhai in natin chule pumgo thil to pum bongchal ho avel'in hung kikatdoh tante.
