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 by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, 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. 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. My sin is constantly 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, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 Nítòótọ́, nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni a ti bí mi, nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni ìyá mí sì lóyún mi.
Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.
6 Nítòótọ́ ìwọ fẹ́ òtítọ́ ní inú; ìwọ kọ́ mi ní ọgbọ́n ní ìhà ìkọ̀kọ̀.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
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.
Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which 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 of 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, O God. 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.
Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t 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. Uphold 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 I will teach transgressors your ways. 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.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Olúwa, ṣí mi ní ètè mi gbogbo, àti ẹnu mi yóò sì máa kéde ìyìn rẹ.
Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare 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 don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 Ẹbọ Ọlọ́run ni ìròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn ìròbìnújẹ́ àti ìrora àyà.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.
18 Ṣe rere ní dídùn inú rẹ sí Sioni, ṣe rere; tún odi Jerusalẹmu mọ.
Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build 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 you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
