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.
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 thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Sachapụ mmehie m niile, ma mee m ka m dị ọcha.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Nʼihi na amaara m njehie m niile, mmehie m dịkwa nʼihu m mgbe niile.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually 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 thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Nʼezie, onye mmehie ka m bụ site nʼoge amụrụ m; bụrụkwa onye mmehie site nʼoge nne m tụrụ ime m.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Nʼezie, ị na-achọ eziokwu nʼakụkụ niile zoro ezo; ị na-akụziri m amamihe nʼakụkụ niile zoro ezo.
For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
7 Were hisọp sachaa m, aga m adị ọcha; sachaa m ka m dị ọcha karịa snoo.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Mee ka m nụrụ olu obi ụtọ na ọṅụ; ka okpukpu ndị i gwepịara ṅụrịkwaa.
Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Zopu ihu gị nʼebe mmehie m niile dị, hichapụkwa mmehie m niile.
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Kee obi dị ọcha nʼime m, O Chineke, nwogharịa ezi mmụọ nʼime m.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
11 Achụpụla m nʼihu gị, anapụkwala m Mmụọ Nsọ gị.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.
12 Nyeghachikwa m ọṅụ nke nzọpụta gị, ma jiri ezi mmụọ kwagide m.
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
13 Mgbe ahụ, aga m enwe ike izi ndị njehie ụzọ gị, ndị mmehie ga-echegharị lọghachikwute gị.
[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.
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.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
15 O, Onyenwe m, meghee ọnụ m, ka m kwupụta otuto gị.
O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Ị naghị enwe mmasị nʼaja, ma ọ bụghị ya, agaara m eweta ya. Ị naghị enwe mmasị nʼaja nsure ọkụ.
For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given [it]: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
17 Aja Chineke chọrọ bụ mmụọ tiwara etiwa, O Chineke, ị naghị elefu anya, nʼobi tiwara etiwa na nke nwere ezi nchegharị.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 Ka ọ masị gị inye Zayọn ọganihu; i wulie mgbidi niile nke Jerusalem.
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
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 shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
