Masalimo 51
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.
For the leader. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet come to him after he had been with Bathsheba. In your kindness, O God, be gracious to me, in your own great pity blot out my transgressions.
2 Munditsuke zolakwa zanga zonse ndipo mundiyeretse kuchotsa tchimo langa.
Wash me clean of my guilt, make me pure of my sin.
3 Pakuti ndikudziwa mphulupulu zanga, ndipo tchimo langa lili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
For well I know my transgressions, my sin is ever 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, only you, have I sinned, and done that which is wrong in your sight: you therefore are just when you speak, and clear when you utter judgment.
5 Zoonadi ine ndinali wochimwa pomwe ndimabadwa, wochimwa kuyambira pa nthawi imene amayi anga anakhala woyembekezera ine.
See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Zoonadi inu mumafuna choonadi mu ziwalo zamʼkati mwanga; mumandiphunzitsa nzeru mʼkati mwanga mwenimweni.
It’s the innermost truth you desire, give me therefore true wisdom of heart.
7 Mundiyeretse ndi hisope ndipo ndidzayera, munditsuke ndipo ndidzayera kuposa matalala
Purge me clean with hyssop, wash me whiter than snow.
8 Mundilole ndimve chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo, mulole kuti mafupa amene mwawamphwanya akondwere.
Fill me with joy and gladness, let the bones you have broken rejoice.
9 Mufulatire machimo anga ndi kufafaniza zolakwa zanga zonse.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out my guilt altogether.
10 Mulenge mʼkati mwanga mtima woyera Inu Mulungu ndi kukonzanso mzimu wokhazikika mwa ine.
Create me a clean heart, O God, put a new steadfast spirit within me.
11 Musandichotse pamaso panu kapena kuchotsa Mzimu wanu Woyera mwa ine.
Cast me not forth from your presence, withdraw not your holy spirit.
12 Bwezeretsani mwa ine chimwemwe cha chipulumutso chanu ndipo mundipatse mzimu wofuna kumvera kuti undilimbitse.
Give me back the joy of your help, with a willing spirit sustain me.
13 Pamenepo ndidzaphunzitsa anthu amphulupulu njira zanu kuti ochimwa adzabwerere kwa inu.
I will teach your ways to transgressors, and sinners shall turn to you.
14 Mundipulumutse ku tchimo lokhetsa magazi, Inu Mulungu, Mulungu wa chipulumutso changa, ndipo lilime langa lidzayimba zachilungamo chanu.
Save me from blood, O God, and my tongue shall ring out your faithfulness.
15 Inu Ambuye tsekulani milomo yanga, ndipo pakamwa panga padzalengeza matamando anu.
Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Inu simusangalatsidwa ndi nsembe wamba. Ndikanapereka nsembe yopsereza, Inu simukondwera nayo.
For in sacrifice you have no pleasure, in gifts of burnt-offering no delight.
17 Nsembe za Mulungu ndi mzimu wosweka; mtima wosweka ndi wachisoni Inu Mulungu simudzawunyoza.
The sacrifice pleasing to God is a spirit that is broken; a heart that is crushed, O God, you will not despise.
18 Mwa kukoma mtima kwanu mupange Ziyoni kuti alemere; mumange makoma a Yerusalemu.
Do good in your pleasure to Zion, 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 will you welcome the due forms of sacrifice, then on your altars shall bullocks be offered.
