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 unto him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba'.” Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy kindness: according to the greatness of thy 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 thoroughly from my 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 of my transgressions I have full knowledge; and my sin is before me continually.
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.
To thee, thee only, have I sinned, and what is evil in thy eyes have I done: —in order that thou mightest be righteous when thou speakest, be justified 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 desirest truth in the inward parts: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses [of the heart].
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.
Cleanse me from sin 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.
Cause me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast crushed may rejoice.
9 Wete peche mwen yo devan je ou. Efase tout fòt mwen fè yo.
Hide thy face from my sins, and all my iniquities do thou blot out.
10 O Bondye, pa kite okenn move lide nan kè m'. Mete bon lide nan tèt mwen, pou m' sa kenbe fèm.
Create unto me a clean heart, O God; and a firm spirit renew thou within me.
11 Pa voye m' jete. Pa wete lespri ou te ban mwen an.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and thy holy spirit do not take from me.
12 Sove m'. Fè kè m' kontan ankò. Ban m' bon lide ki pou fè m' toujou obeyisan.
Restore unto me the gladness of thy salvation; and with a liberal spirit do thou support 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; [that] my tongue may sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Seyè mwen, mete pawòl nan bouch mwen pou m' ka fè lwanj ou.
O Lord, open thou 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: in burnt-offering hast thou no delight.
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, wilt thou 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 favor unto Zion; build thou 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 wilt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and entire offering: then shall bullocks be offered upon thy altar.
