Psalms 51

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Kad je k Davidu došao prorok Natan poslije njegova grijeha Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje!

2 Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.

Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!

3 For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.

Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.

4 Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.

Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.

5 Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.

Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.

6 Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.

Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.

7 Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.

Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!

8 Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!

9 Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!

10 Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!

11 Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.

Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!

12 Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!

13 Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.

Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.

14 Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.

Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!

15 O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.

Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.

16 You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.

Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.

17 The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.

Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.

18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.

U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!

19 Then you will have delight in the offerings of righteousness, in burned offerings and offerings of beasts; then they will make offerings of oxen on your altar.

Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
