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 Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
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 know my transgressions; and my sin is ever 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 Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest.
5 Gade byen, mwen te fèt nan inikite, e se nan peche manman m te vin ansent mwen.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin 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.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
7 Pirifye m ak izòp e mwen va pwòp. Lave mwen e mwen va pi blan ke lanèj.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Fè m tande lajwa avèk kè kontan, pou zo ke Ou te kase yo, vin rejwi.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
9 Kache figi Ou de peche m yo. Efase tout inikite mwen yo.
Hide Thy 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 me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
11 Pa jete mwen lwen prezans Ou e pa retire Lespri Sen Ou an sou mwen.
Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore nan mwen lajwa sali Ou a. Ranfòse m avèk yon lespri bòn volonte.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
13 Konsa, mwen va enstwi transgresè yo chemen Ou yo, e pechè yo va konvèti a Ou menm.
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
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 bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
15 O Mèt mwen an, ouvri lèv mwen pou m kab deklare lwanj Ou.
O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
16 Paske Ou pa pran plezi nan sakrifis. Otreman, mwen ta bay li. Ofrann brile yo pa fè Ou kontan.
For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 Sakrifis a Bondye yo se yon espri ki kraze. Yon kè brize e ki repantan, O Bondye, Ou p ap meprize l.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
18 Avèk bonte Ou, fè byen pou Sion. Bati miray a Jérusalem yo.
Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
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 wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
