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 chief musician. A psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had slept with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, because of your covenant faithfulness; for the sake of the multitude of your merciful actions, blot out my transgressions.
2 Sachapụ mmehie m niile, ma mee m ka m dị ọcha.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Nʼihi na amaara m njehie m niile, mmehie m dịkwa nʼihu m mgbe niile.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always 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, I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.
5 Nʼezie, onye mmehie ka m bụ site nʼoge amụrụ m; bụrụkwa onye mmehie site nʼoge nne m tụrụ ime m.
See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
6 Nʼezie, ị na-achọ eziokwu nʼakụkụ niile zoro ezo; ị na-akụziri m amamihe nʼakụkụ niile zoro ezo.
See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
7 Were hisọp sachaa m, aga m adị ọcha; sachaa m ka m dị ọcha karịa snoo.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Mee ka m nụrụ olu obi ụtọ na ọṅụ; ka okpukpu ndị i gwepịara ṅụrịkwaa.
Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
9 Zopu ihu gị nʼebe mmehie m niile dị, hichapụkwa mmehie m niile.
Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Kee obi dị ọcha nʼime m, O Chineke, nwogharịa ezi mmụọ nʼime m.
Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Achụpụla m nʼihu gị, anapụkwala m Mmụọ Nsọ gị.
Do not drive me away from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Nyeghachikwa m ọṅụ nke nzọpụta gị, ma jiri ezi mmụọ kwagide m.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Mgbe ahụ, aga m enwe ike izi ndị njehie ụzọ gị, ndị mmehie ga-echegharị lọghachikwute gị.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted 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.
Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
15 O, Onyenwe m, meghee ọnụ m, ka m kwupụta otuto gị.
Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express your praise.
16 Ị naghị enwe mmasị nʼaja, ma ọ bụghị ya, agaara m eweta ya. Ị naghị enwe mmasị nʼaja nsure ọkụ.
For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 Aja Chineke chọrọ bụ mmụọ tiwara etiwa, O Chineke, ị naghị elefu anya, nʼobi tiwara etiwa na nke nwere ezi nchegharị.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
18 Ka ọ masị gị inye Zayọn ọganihu; i wulie mgbidi niile nke Jerusalem.
Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild 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 will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then our people will offer bulls on your altar.
