Psalms 51

1 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.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov, Ko je prišel k njemu Natan prerok, potem ko se je bil sešèl z Betsebo. Milosten mi bodi, o Bog, po dobroti svoji; po obilosti svojega usmiljenja izbriši pregrehe moje.

2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

Dobro me operi krivice moje, in greha mojega očisti me.

3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.

Ker pregrehe svoje jaz spoznavam, in greh moj biva mi vedno pred očmi.

4 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.

Tebi, tebi samemu sem grešil, in storil kar se zlo vidi v tvojih očeh; da se opravičiš v govorih svojih; čist si, kader ti sodiš.

5 Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

Glej, v krivici sem storjen in v grehu me je spočela mati moja.

6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Glej, resnice se raduješ v osrčji; in skrivaj si mi razodél modrost svojo.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Očisti me z isopom, da bodem čist; operi me, da bodem bel nad sneg.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

Stóri, da čujem veselje in radost, radujejo se kosti, katere si potrl.

9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

Skrij srdito obličje svoje grehom mojim, in vse krivice moje izbriši.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Srce mi čisto ustvari, Bog, in duh krepak ponovi v meni.

11 Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

Ne zavrzi me izpred svojega obličja; in svojega svetega duha ne jemlji od mene nazaj.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

Daj mi nazaj veselje blaginje svoje; in z duhom blagodušnosti podpiraj me.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners will be converted to you.

Učil bodem krivičnike pota tvoja, da se grešniki povrnejo k tebi.

14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.

Reši me krvi, o Bog, Bog blaginje moje; jezik moj naj poje pravico tvojo.

15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.

Gospod, odpri moje ustne, in usta moja bodejo oznanjala hvalo tvojo.

16 For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

Ker ne veseliš se daritve; nočeš, da dajem žgalni dar.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

Daritve Božje so duh potrt; srca potrtega in pobitega, o Bog, ne zametaš.

18 Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

Oblagodari po dobri volji Sijon; sezidaj zidovje Jeruzalemsko.

19 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.

Tedaj se bodeš veselil daritev pravice, žgalnih in celih daritev; tedaj bodo pobožni pokladali junce na tvoj oltar.
