< Halelu 51 >

1 E ALOHA mai oe ia'u, e ke Akua, e like me kou lokomaikai; Mamuli o ka nui loa o kou aloha e hoopau i ko'u mau hala.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
2 E holoi lea mai ia'u i pau kuu hewa; A e hoomaemae mai hoi ia'u i ko'u lawehala ana.
Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,
3 No ka mea, ke hoike aku nei au i ko'u mau hala; Mau no hoi ko'u hewa imua o kuu alo.
For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.
4 O oe, oe wale no ka'u i lawehala ai, A i hana hewa hoi imua o kou mau maka: I pono oe i kau olelo ana, I hemolele hoi i kuu hoahewa ana mai.
Against You, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.
5 Eia hoi, ua hanaia au maloko o ka hewa; Maloko o ka lawehala ana i hapai ai ko'u makuwahine ia'u.
Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.
6 Eia hoi, makemake oe i oiaio ko loko; A maloko o na wahi nalo e hoikeike mai oe ia'u i ka naauao.
Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.
7 E huikala mai oe ia'u me ka husopa, a e maemae no wau: E holoi mai ia'u, a e oi aku kuu keokeo i ko ka hau.
You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.
8 E haawi mai e lohe au i ka hauoli a me ka olioli; I hauoli hoi na iwi au i uhaki mai ai.
You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.
9 E huna oe i kou maka i ko'u mau lawehala ana, A e hoopau i ko'u mau hewa a pau.
Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.
10 E haawi mai i naau maemae no'u, e ke Akua; E hana hou mai hoi i uhane kupono iloko o'u.
Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.
11 Mai kiola ae oe ia'u mai kou alo ae; Aole hoi e lawe aku i kou Uhane Hemolele mai o'u aku nei.
Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 E hoihoi mai ia'u i ka hauoli no kou ola; A e kokua mai ia'u me kou Uhane lokomaikai.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.
13 Alaila, e ao aku au i na lawehala i kou mau aoao; A e hoohuliia na kanaka hewa ia oe.
I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.
14 E hoopakele ae ia'u i na koko, e ke Akua, e ko'u Akua e ola'i; A e himeni leo nui aku au i kou pono.
Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.
15 E ka Haku, e wehe mai oe i ko'u lebelehe; A e hoike aku ko'u waha i kou hoolea.
O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.
16 No ka mea, aole oe i makemake i ka alana; Alaila, e haawi aku no wau ia; Aole oe i oluolu mai i na mohaikuni.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.
17 O na mohai no ke Akua oia ka uhane mihi: O ka naau mihi me ka pepe, o kau ia, e ke Akua e hoowahawaha ole ai.
The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.
18 E hana maikai mai oe ia Ziona i kou lokomaikai: E kukulu hoi oe i na pa o Ierusalema.
Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Alaila, e oluolu mai oe i na mohai o ka pono, I na mohaikuni, na mohaikuni okoa hoi; Alaila e kaumaha aku lakou i na bipi maluna o kou kuahu.
Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
