Psalms 51
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. When Nathan the Prophet had come to him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba. Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se David ki te ekri sòm sa a lè pwofèt Natan te vin pale avè l' aprè adiltè li te fè avèk Batcheba. Gen pitye pou mwen, Bondye. Jan ou gen bon kè sa a! Tanpri, efase tou sa mwen fè ki mal, paske ou gen kè sansib.
2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;
Lave m', foubi m' pou wete fòt mwen fè a. Netwaye m' pou efase peche m' lan.
3 For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:
Mwen rekonèt sa m' fè a pa bon. Se tout tan peche m' lan devan je m'.
4 Against thee—against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness—in thine eyes, have I done, —That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest, —Be clear when thou judgest.
Se kont ou menm menm mwen peche-pa kont lòt moun. Mwen fè bagay ou pa dakò pou moun fè. Se sak fè ou gen rezon lè ou kondannen yon moun. Moun pa ka fè ou okenn repwòch lè ou fin jije.
5 Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.
Wi, depi m' fèt, mwen fèt ak peche nan kè m'. Depi nan vant manman m', mwen gen peche nan kè m'.
6 Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.
Men, ou vle pou yon moun sensè nan tou sa l'ap fè. Tanpri, fè m' konprann tout bagay non!
7 Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?
Wete peche m' lan avèk yon branch izòp, konsa m'a nan kondisyon pou m' fè sèvis pou ou. Lave m', m'a pi blan pase koton.
8 Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.
Fè m' tande pawòl ki pou fè kè m' kontan an, pawòl ki pou fè m' chante a. Wi, ou te kraze tout zo nan kò m', men w'a fè kè m' kontan ankò.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, —And, all mine iniquities, blot out;
Wete peche mwen yo devan je ou. Efase tout fòt mwen fè yo.
10 A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.
O Bondye, pa kite okenn move lide nan kè m'. Mete bon lide nan tèt mwen, pou m' sa kenbe fèm.
11 Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:
Pa voye m' jete. Pa wete lespri ou te ban mwen an.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me: —
Sove m'. Fè kè m' kontan ankò. Ban m' bon lide ki pou fè m' toujou obeyisan.
13 I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.
Lè sa a, m'a moutre moun k'ap fè peche yo tout kòmandman ou yo, pou yo sa tounen vin jwenn ou.
14 Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;
Pa kite yo tire revanj sou mwen, Bondye, se ou k'ap sove lavi m'. N'a fè konnen jan ou gen bon kè.
15 O My Lord! my lips, wilt thou open, And, my mouth, shall declare thy praise.
Seyè mwen, mete pawòl nan bouch mwen pou m' ka fè lwanj ou.
16 For thou wilt not desire sacrifice—that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:
Si se bèt ou ta vle yo touye pou ofri ou, mwen ta ofri bèt ba ou. Men, ou pa pran plezi nan vyann bèt y'ap boule ofri ba ou yo.
17 The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, —A heart—broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Ofrann ki fè Bondye plezi, se lè yon moun soumèt tèt li devan li. Bondye, ou p'ap janm meprize moun ki soumèt tèt li devan ou, moun ki rekonèt tò li.
18 Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!
O Bondye, fe anpil byen pou mòn Siyon, paske ou gen bon kè. Rebati miray lavil Jerizalèm yo.
19 Then, shalt thou desire the sacrifices of righteousness, Ascending-sacrifice and whole burnt-offering, Then, shall ascend upon thine altar, young bulls.
Se lè sa a w'a pran plezi nan ofrann bèt ou mande pou yo touye pou ou yo, nan vyann bèt ak lòt ofrann y'ap boule nèt pou ou yo. Se lè sa a y'a ofri jenn towo bèf sou lotèl ou a.
