1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Pamene Mneneri Natani anabwera kwa iye atachita chigololo ndi Batiseba. Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Mulungu, molingana ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika; molingana ndi chifundo chanu chachikulu mufafanize mphulupulu zanga.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
2 Munditsuke zolakwa zanga zonse ndipo mundiyeretse kuchotsa tchimo langa.
Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,
3 Pakuti ndikudziwa mphulupulu zanga, ndipo tchimo langa lili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.
4 Motsutsana ndi Inu, Inu nokha, ndachimwa ndipo ndachita zoyipa pamaso panu, Kotero kuti inu mwapezeka kuti ndinu wolungama pamene muyankhula ndi pamene muweruza.
Against You, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.
5 Zoonadi ine ndinali wochimwa pomwe ndimabadwa, wochimwa kuyambira pa nthawi imene amayi anga anakhala woyembekezera ine.
Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.
6 Zoonadi inu mumafuna choonadi mu ziwalo zamʼkati mwanga; mumandiphunzitsa nzeru mʼkati mwanga mwenimweni.
Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.
7 Mundiyeretse ndi hisope ndipo ndidzayera, munditsuke ndipo ndidzayera kuposa matalala
You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.
8 Mundilole ndimve chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo, mulole kuti mafupa amene mwawamphwanya akondwere.
You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.
9 Mufulatire machimo anga ndi kufafaniza zolakwa zanga zonse.
Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.
10 Mulenge mʼkati mwanga mtima woyera Inu Mulungu ndi kukonzanso mzimu wokhazikika mwa ine.
Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.
11 Musandichotse pamaso panu kapena kuchotsa Mzimu wanu Woyera mwa ine.
Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Bwezeretsani mwa ine chimwemwe cha chipulumutso chanu ndipo mundipatse mzimu wofuna kumvera kuti undilimbitse.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.
13 Pamenepo ndidzaphunzitsa anthu amphulupulu njira zanu kuti ochimwa adzabwerere kwa inu.
I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.
14 Mundipulumutse ku tchimo lokhetsa magazi, Inu Mulungu, Mulungu wa chipulumutso changa, ndipo lilime langa lidzayimba zachilungamo chanu.
Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.
15 Inu Ambuye tsekulani milomo yanga, ndipo pakamwa panga padzalengeza matamando anu.
O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.
16 Inu simusangalatsidwa ndi nsembe wamba. Ndikanapereka nsembe yopsereza, Inu simukondwera nayo.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.
17 Nsembe za Mulungu ndi mzimu wosweka; mtima wosweka ndi wachisoni Inu Mulungu simudzawunyoza.
The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.
18 Mwa kukoma mtima kwanu mupange Ziyoni kuti alemere; mumange makoma a Yerusalemu.
Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Kotero kudzakhala nsembe zachilungamo, nsembe yonse yopsereza yokondweretsa Inu; ndipo ngʼombe zazimuna zidzaperekedwa pa guwa lanu la nsembe.
Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
