Sòm 51
1 Yon Sòm David lè pwofèt la, Nathan te rive kote li lè l te fin ale kote Bath-Schéba. Fè m gras, O Bondye, selon lanmou dous Ou a. Selon grandè a mizerikòd ou, efase transgresyon mwen yo.
For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Lave m nèt de inikite mwen yo e netwaye m de peche mwen an.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Paske mwen konnen transgresyon mwen yo. Peche mwen yo devan m tout tan.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
4 Kont Ou, Ou menm sèlman, mwen te peche, e te fè mal devan zye Ou. Akoz sa, Ou jis lè Ou pale, e san tò lè Ou jije.
Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
5 Gade byen, mwen te fèt nan inikite, e se nan peche manman m te vin ansent mwen.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Men vwala, Ou vle verite a menm nan pati anndan m nèt. Nan pati kache anndan m, Ou va fè m konnen sajès.
For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.
7 Pirifye m ak izòp e mwen va pwòp. Lave mwen e mwen va pi blan ke lanèj.
You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Fè m tande lajwa avèk kè kontan, pou zo ke Ou te kase yo, vin rejwi.
You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Kache figi Ou de peche m yo. Efase tout inikite mwen yo.
Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Kreye nan mwen yon kè pwòp, O SENYÈ, epi refè yon lespri ki dwat anndan m.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
11 Pa jete mwen lwen prezans Ou e pa retire Lespri Sen Ou an sou mwen.
Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore nan mwen lajwa sali Ou a. Ranfòse m avèk yon lespri bòn volonte.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.
13 Konsa, mwen va enstwi transgresè yo chemen Ou yo, e pechè yo va konvèti a Ou menm.
[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.
14 Delivre mwen de koupabilite san vèse a, O Bondye, Bondye a sali mwen an. Konsa, lang mwen va chante avèk jwa selon ladwati a Ou menm nan.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.
15 O Mèt mwen an, ouvri lèv mwen pou m kab deklare lwanj Ou.
O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Paske Ou pa pran plezi nan sakrifis. Otreman, mwen ta bay li. Ofrann brile yo pa fè Ou kontan.
For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.
17 Sakrifis a Bondye yo se yon espri ki kraze. Yon kè brize e ki repantan, O Bondye, Ou p ap meprize l.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 Avèk bonte Ou, fè byen pou Sion. Bati miray a Jérusalem yo.
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
19 Konsa, Ou va rejwi nan sakrifis ladwati yo, nan ofrann brile avèk ofrann brile nèt yo. Konsa, jenn towo yo va ofri sou lotèl Ou a.
Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
