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 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 Ohlla ma koluk luk nukewa Ac aknasnasyeyula liki ma koluk luk!
Wash me thoroughly 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 always 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 what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.
5 Nga nuna koluk oe ke len se nga isusla ah me; Liki pacl se nga srimetak, nga nuna mwet koluk.
See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
6 Orekma suwohs ac inse pwaye pa kom lungsum; Nwakla nunak luk ke lalmwetmet lom.
See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
7 Aknasnasyeyu ke sak hyssop, ac nga fah nasnasla; Oulyula ac nga fah fasrfasr liki snow.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Lela nga in lohng pusren engan ac insewowo; Finne kom tuh itungyuwi ac kunausyula, Nga ac sifil pacna enganak.
Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
9 Afinya motom liki ma koluk luk Ac eela ma koluk luk nukewa.
Hide your face from my sins 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 in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Nikmet lisyula liki ye motom; Nikmet eisla ngun mutal lom likiyu.
Do not drive me away 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 sustain me with a willing 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 sinners will be converted to you.
14 Sruokya moul luk, O God, ac moliyula, Ac nga fah engan in fahkak ke suwoswos lom.
Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
15 Leum, kasreyu tuh nga in ku in kaskas, Ac nga fah kaksakin kom.
Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express 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 delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
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. You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
18 O God, kulang nu sin Zion ac kasrel; Sifilpa musaeak pot Jerusalem.
Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild 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 will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then our people will offer bulls on your altar.
