Sòm 51
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se David ki te ekri sòm sa a lè pwofèt Natan te vin pale avè l' aprè adiltè li te fè avèk Batcheba. Gen pitye pou mwen, Bondye. Jan ou gen bon kè sa a! Tanpri, efase tou sa mwen fè ki mal, paske ou gen kè sansib.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2 Lave m', foubi m' pou wete fòt mwen fè a. Netwaye m' pou efase peche m' lan.
Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Mwen rekonèt sa m' fè a pa bon. Se tout tan peche m' lan devan je m'.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
4 Se kont ou menm menm mwen peche-pa kont lòt moun. Mwen fè bagay ou pa dakò pou moun fè. Se sak fè ou gen rezon lè ou kondannen yon moun. Moun pa ka fè ou okenn repwòch lè ou fin jije.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
5 Wi, depi m' fèt, mwen fèt ak peche nan kè m'. Depi nan vant manman m', mwen gen peche nan kè m'.
Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Men, ou vle pou yon moun sensè nan tou sa l'ap fè. Tanpri, fè m' konprann tout bagay non!
Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
7 Wete peche m' lan avèk yon branch izòp, konsa m'a nan kondisyon pou m' fè sèvis pou ou. Lave m', m'a pi blan pase koton.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Fè m' tande pawòl ki pou fè kè m' kontan an, pawòl ki pou fè m' chante a. Wi, ou te kraze tout zo nan kò m', men w'a fè kè m' kontan ankò.
Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Wete peche mwen yo devan je ou. Efase tout fòt mwen fè yo.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 O Bondye, pa kite okenn move lide nan kè m'. Mete bon lide nan tèt mwen, pou m' sa kenbe fèm.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Pa voye m' jete. Pa wete lespri ou te ban mwen an.
Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
12 Sove m'. Fè kè m' kontan ankò. Ban m' bon lide ki pou fè m' toujou obeyisan.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
13 Lè sa a, m'a moutre moun k'ap fè peche yo tout kòmandman ou yo, pou yo sa tounen vin jwenn ou.
I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
14 Pa kite yo tire revanj sou mwen, Bondye, se ou k'ap sove lavi m'. N'a fè konnen jan ou gen bon kè.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Seyè mwen, mete pawòl nan bouch mwen pou m' ka fè lwanj ou.
Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Si se bèt ou ta vle yo touye pou ofri ou, mwen ta ofri bèt ba ou. Men, ou pa pran plezi nan vyann bèt y'ap boule ofri ba ou yo.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 Ofrann ki fè Bondye plezi, se lè yon moun soumèt tèt li devan li. Bondye, ou p'ap janm meprize moun ki soumèt tèt li devan ou, moun ki rekonèt tò li.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 O Bondye, fe anpil byen pou mòn Siyon, paske ou gen bon kè. Rebati miray lavil Jerizalèm yo.
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Se lè sa a w'a pran plezi nan ofrann bèt ou mande pou yo touye pou ou yo, nan vyann bèt ak lòt ofrann y'ap boule nèt pou ou yo. Se lè sa a y'a ofri jenn towo bèf sou lotèl ou a.
Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
