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.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender 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.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. 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. My sin is constantly 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, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 Eia hoi, ua hanaia au maloko o ka hewa; Maloko o ka lawehala ana i hapai ai ko'u makuwahine ia'u.
Look, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
6 Eia hoi, makemake oe i oiaio ko loko; A maloko o na wahi nalo e hoikeike mai oe ia'u i ka naauao.
Look, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
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.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be 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.
Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
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 sins, and blot out all of 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 in me a clean heart, O God. 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 throw me 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. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Alaila, e ao aku au i na lawehala i kou mau aoao; A e hoohuliia na kanaka hewa ia oe.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted 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 bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud 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.
Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare 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 delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in 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 broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 E hana maikai mai oe ia Ziona i kou lokomaikai: E kukulu hoi oe i na pa o Ierusalema.
Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. 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 will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
