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.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na pahren han ngai e patetlah na pahren haw. Kapap ni teh kahawi e na lungmanae dawkvah, kâtapoenae hah na tha pouh haw.
2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,
Ka sakpayon e pueng kathoungcalah na pâsu pouh haw. Ka yonnae dawk hoi na thoung sak haw.
3 For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually.
Kâtapoenae hah ka panue toe. Ka yonnae teh pou ka pouk.
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.
Nang taranlahoi nang koe roeroe ka yon toe. Na mithmu vah hawihoehnae ka sak toe. Ka kong na dei toteh atang doeh. Lawk na ceng toteh, toun han awm hoeh.
5 Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.
Kai teh payonnae lahoi khe e lah ka o teh, anu ni yon hoi doeh na vawn toe.
6 Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
Lungthin kalan e hah na ngai dawkvah, ka lungthin thung lungangnae hah na cangkhai haw.
7 Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.
Dingsala hoi na hui haw, ka thoung han. Na pâsu haw tadamtui patetlah ka pangaw han.
8 Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.
Na khoe tangcoung e hrunaw konawm nahanlah, konawmnae hoi lunghawinae lawk na thaisak haw.
9 Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.
Ka yonnae dawk hoi na minhmai hrawk nateh, ka yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw.
10 A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.
Oe Cathut, ka thungvah lungthin kathoung bout sak nateh, kai dawk kacakpounge muitha hah bout roung sak haw.
11 Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.
Nang koehoi na pâlei hanh lah a. Na Kathoung Muitha teh kai koehoi na lat pouh hanh.
12 Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.
Na rungngangnae dawk konawmnae hah bout na poe haw. Hringpasoungnae na Muitha hoi na kuen haw.
13 I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.
Hottelah, kâtapoenaw hah na lamthung ka cangkhai vaiteh, tamikayonnaw teh nang koe a kâthung awh han.
14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.
Oe Cathut, kaie rungngangnae Cathut, tami thei e yon hoi na hlout sak haw. Na lannae hah ka lai ni kacaipounglah la a sak han.
15 O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.
Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni heh paawng nateh, ka pahni ni na pholen han.
16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, thuengnae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, yo na poe han doeh toe. Hmaisawi thuengnae dawk hai na lungyouknae awm hoeh.
17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.
Cathut ngai e patetlah thuengnae hateh, muitha rek e hah doeh. Lungthin rek laihoi pankângai e heh, Oe Cathut, banglahai noutna laipalah na awm mahoeh.
18 Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
Zion vah na ngai e hawinae hah sak haw, Jerusalem rapan hah kangdout sak haw.
19 Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!
Hottelah hoiyah, lannae thuengnae hoi hmaisawi thuengnae hoi takbuem hmaisawi thuengnae dawk na lunghawi vaiteh, na thuengnae khoungroe van vah, maitotan hah a thueng awh han.
