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!

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

2 Ohlla ma koluk luk nukewa Ac aknasnasyeyula liki ma koluk luk!

Thoroughly wash me from my 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 know my transgressions, 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, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.

5 Nga nuna koluk oe ke len se nga isusla ah me; Liki pacl se nga srimetak, nga nuna mwet koluk.

Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.

6 Orekma suwohs ac inse pwaye pa kom lungsum; Nwakla nunak luk ke lalmwetmet lom.

Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.

7 Aknasnasyeyu ke sak hyssop, ac nga fah nasnasla; Oulyula ac nga fah fasrfasr liki snow.

You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.

8 Lela nga in lohng pusren engan ac insewowo; Finne kom tuh itungyuwi ac kunausyula, Nga ac sifil pacna enganak.

You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.

9 Afinya motom liki ma koluk luk Ac eela ma koluk luk nukewa.

Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.

10 Kom in oru insiuk in nasnas, O God, Ac ase sie ngun sasu ac pwaye in nga.

Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.

11 Nikmet lisyula liki ye motom; Nikmet eisla ngun mutal lom likiyu.

Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take 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, And a willing spirit sustains me.

13 Na nga fah luti mwet koluk ke ma kom sapkin, Ac elos ac fah foloko nu yurum.

I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.

14 Sruokya moul luk, O God, ac moliyula, Ac nga fah engan in fahkak ke suwoswos lom.

Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.

15 Leum, kasreyu tuh nga in ku in kaskas, Ac nga fah kaksakin kom.

O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.

16 Kom tia lungse mwe kisa; Kom funu lungse, nga lukun orek kisa; Kom tiana insewowo ke mwe kisa firir.

For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.

17 O God, mwe kisa luk uh pa inse pusisel — Kom ac tia pilesru sie inse pusisel su auliyak.

The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.

18 O God, kulang nu sin Zion ac kasrel; Sifilpa musaeak pot Jerusalem.

Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Na kom fah insewowo ke mwe kisa pwaye Ac ke mwe kisa firir lasr; Ac cow mukul fah kisakinyuk fin loang lom.

Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
