Psalms 51
1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Nígbà ti wòlíì Natani tọ wá, lẹ́yìn tí Dafidi dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àgbèrè rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Batṣeba. Ṣàánú fún mi, Ọlọ́run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdúró ṣinṣin ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pọ̀ àánú rẹ̀ kí o sì pa gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi rẹ́.
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 Wẹ gbogbo àìṣedéédéé mi nù kúrò kí o sì wẹ̀ mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi!
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Nítorí mo mọ̀ gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi, nígbà gbogbo ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi wà níwájú mi.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Sí ọ, ìwọ nìkan ṣoṣo, ni mo dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ni mo sì ṣe búburú níwájú rẹ̀, kí a lè dá ọ láre nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì le wà láìlẹ́bi, nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń ṣe ìdájọ́.
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 Nítòótọ́, nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni a ti bí mi, nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni ìyá mí sì lóyún mi.
See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
6 Nítòótọ́ ìwọ fẹ́ òtítọ́ ní inú; ìwọ kọ́ mi ní ọgbọ́n ní ìhà ìkọ̀kọ̀.
See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
7 Wẹ̀ mí pẹ̀lú ewé hísópù, èmi yóò sì mọ́; fọ̀ mí, èmi yóò sì funfun ju yìnyín lọ.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Jẹ́ kí n gbọ́ ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn; jẹ́ kí gbogbo egungun tí ìwọ ti run kí ó máa yọ̀.
Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
9 Pa ojú rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi kí o sì pa gbogbo àwọn àìṣedéédéé mi rẹ́.
Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Dá ọkàn mímọ́ sí inú mi, Ọlọ́run, kí o sì tún ẹ̀mí dídúró ṣinṣin ṣe sínú mi.
Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Má ṣe jù mi nù kúrò níwájú rẹ, kí o má ṣe gba Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ rẹ lọ́wọ́ mi.
Do not drive me away from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Mú ayọ̀ ìgbàlà rẹ tọ̀ mí wá, kí o sì fún mi ní ẹ̀mí ìfẹ́, tí yóò mú mi dúró.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò máa kọ́ àwọn olùrékọjá ní ọ̀nà rẹ, àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ yóò sì yí padà sí ọ.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted to you.
14 Gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀, Ọlọ́run, ìwọ Ọlọ́run ìgbàlà mi, ahọ́n mi yóò sì máa kọrin òdodo rẹ kíkan.
Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
15 Olúwa, ṣí mi ní ètè mi gbogbo, àti ẹnu mi yóò sì máa kéde ìyìn rẹ.
Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express your praise.
16 Nítorí ìwọ kò ní inú dídùn sí ẹbọ, tí èmi kò bá mú wá; Ìwọ kò ní inú dídùn sí ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun.
For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 Ẹbọ Ọlọ́run ni ìròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn ìròbìnújẹ́ àti ìrora àyà.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
18 Ṣe rere ní dídùn inú rẹ sí Sioni, ṣe rere; tún odi Jerusalẹmu mọ.
Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Nígbà náà ni inú rẹ yóò dùn sí ẹbọ òdodo, pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, nígbà náà ni wọn yóò fi akọ màlúù rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ rẹ.
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.
