Psalm 51
1 [Psalm lal David, Tukun Mwet Palu Nathan el Kaskas nu sel ke Tafongla lal yorol Bathsheba] Pakoten nu sik, O God, Ke sripen lungse kawil lom! Ke pakoten lulap lom, Eela ma koluk luk!
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 your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Ohlla ma koluk luk nukewa Ac aknasnasyeyula liki ma koluk luk!
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Nga akilen tafongla luk, Ac ma koluk luk oan in nunak luk pacl e nukewa.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
4 Nga oru ma koluk lain kom, aok lain kom mukena, Ac oru ma su tia wo ye motom. Ke ma inge fal kom in nununkeyu. Oasr suwohs lom in lisyula.
Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
5 Nga nuna koluk oe ke len se nga isusla ah me; Liki pacl se nga srimetak, nga nuna mwet koluk.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Orekma suwohs ac inse pwaye pa kom lungsum; Nwakla nunak luk ke lalmwetmet lom.
For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.
7 Aknasnasyeyu ke sak hyssop, ac nga fah nasnasla; Oulyula ac nga fah fasrfasr liki snow.
You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Lela nga in lohng pusren engan ac insewowo; Finne kom tuh itungyuwi ac kunausyula, Nga ac sifil pacna enganak.
You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Afinya motom liki ma koluk luk Ac eela ma koluk luk nukewa.
Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Kom in oru insiuk in nasnas, O God, Ac ase sie ngun sasu ac pwaye in nga.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
11 Nikmet lisyula liki ye motom; Nikmet eisla ngun mutal lom likiyu.
Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.
12 Sifilpa ase nu sik engan su tuku ke molela lom, Ac oru tuh nga in insewowo in akos kom.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.
13 Na nga fah luti mwet koluk ke ma kom sapkin, Ac elos ac fah foloko nu yurum.
[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.
14 Sruokya moul luk, O God, ac moliyula, Ac nga fah engan in fahkak ke suwoswos lom.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.
15 Leum, kasreyu tuh nga in ku in kaskas, Ac nga fah kaksakin kom.
O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Kom tia lungse mwe kisa; Kom funu lungse, nga lukun orek kisa; Kom tiana insewowo ke mwe kisa firir.
For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.
17 O God, mwe kisa luk uh pa inse pusisel — Kom ac tia pilesru sie inse pusisel su auliyak.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 O God, kulang nu sin Zion ac kasrel; Sifilpa musaeak pot Jerusalem.
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
19 Na kom fah insewowo ke mwe kisa pwaye Ac ke mwe kisa firir lasr; Ac cow mukul fah kisakinyuk fin loang lom.
Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
