Abụ Ọma 51
1 Abụ dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. Mgbe Netan bụ onye amụma bịakwutere Devid nʼoge ya na Batsheba kwara iko. O Chineke, meere m ebere, nʼihi ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịgide adịgide; nʼihi oke ọmịiko gị, hichapụ njehie m niile.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.
2 Sachapụ mmehie m niile, ma mee m ka m dị ọcha.
Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.
3 Nʼihi na amaara m njehie m niile, mmehie m dịkwa nʼihu m mgbe niile.
For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.
4 Ọ bụkwa naanị gị ka m mehiere megide, mee ihe ahụ bụ ihe ọjọọ nʼihu gị, nke mere na ị bụ onye na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi mgbe ị na-ekwu okwu, na onye ezi omume mgbe ị na-ekpe ikpe.
Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.
5 Nʼezie, onye mmehie ka m bụ site nʼoge amụrụ m; bụrụkwa onye mmehie site nʼoge nne m tụrụ ime m.
Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
6 Nʼezie, ị na-achọ eziokwu nʼakụkụ niile zoro ezo; ị na-akụziri m amamihe nʼakụkụ niile zoro ezo.
Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
7 Were hisọp sachaa m, aga m adị ọcha; sachaa m ka m dị ọcha karịa snoo.
Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
8 Mee ka m nụrụ olu obi ụtọ na ọṅụ; ka okpukpu ndị i gwepịara ṅụrịkwaa.
Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
9 Zopu ihu gị nʼebe mmehie m niile dị, hichapụkwa mmehie m niile.
Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.
10 Kee obi dị ọcha nʼime m, O Chineke, nwogharịa ezi mmụọ nʼime m.
Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
11 Achụpụla m nʼihu gị, anapụkwala m Mmụọ Nsọ gị.
Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.
12 Nyeghachikwa m ọṅụ nke nzọpụta gị, ma jiri ezi mmụọ kwagide m.
Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.
13 Mgbe ahụ, aga m enwe ike izi ndị njehie ụzọ gị, ndị mmehie ga-echegharị lọghachikwute gị.
Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.
14 O Chineke, zọpụta m site nʼikpe ọmụma nke mwụfu ọbara, Chineke, gị bụ Chineke Onye nzọpụta m, ire m ga-abụ abụ banyere ezi omume gị.
Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.
15 O, Onyenwe m, meghee ọnụ m, ka m kwupụta otuto gị.
O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.
16 Ị naghị enwe mmasị nʼaja, ma ọ bụghị ya, agaara m eweta ya. Ị naghị enwe mmasị nʼaja nsure ọkụ.
You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.
17 Aja Chineke chọrọ bụ mmụọ tiwara etiwa, O Chineke, ị naghị elefu anya, nʼobi tiwara etiwa na nke nwere ezi nchegharị.
The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
18 Ka ọ masị gị inye Zayọn ọganihu; i wulie mgbidi niile nke Jerusalem.
Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Mgbe ahụ, a ga-enwe ezi aja, aja nsure ọkụ nke ga-atọ gị ụtọ; mgbe ahụ, a ga-achụkwa aja ọtụtụ oke ehi nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja gị.
Then you will have delight in the offerings of righteousness, in burned offerings and offerings of beasts; then they will make offerings of oxen on your altar.
