Psalms 51
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Panguva yakauya muprofita Natani kwaari shure kwokuita upombwe kwaDhavhidhi naBhatishebha. Ndinzwirei tsitsi, imi Mwari, nokuda kworudo rwenyu rusingaperi; dzimai kudarika kwangu nokuda kwengoni dzenyu huru.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Shambidzai zvakaipa zvangu zvose uye mundinatse kubva pachivi changu.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Nokuti ndinoziva kudarika kwangu, uye chivi changu chinogara chiri pamberi pangu.
4 Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and may prevail when thou are criticized.
Ndakakutadzirai imi, iyemi moga nokuita chinhu chakaipa pamberi penyu, kuti munzi makarurama pamunotaura uye musapomerwa mhosva pakutonga kwenyu.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
Zvirokwazvo ndakanga ndiri mutadzi pandakaberekwa, ndiri mutadzi kubva pandakaumbwa mudumbu ramai vangu.
6 Behold, thou desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part thou will make me to know wisdom.
Zvirokwazvo imi munoda chokwadi pakati pomwoyo; munondidzidzisa uchenjeri panzvimbo yomukatikati.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Ndinatsei nehisopi, ipapo ndichachena; ndishambidzei, ipapo ndichachena sechando.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.
Ndiitei kuti ndinzwe mufaro nokufarisisa; itai kuti mapfupa amakapwanya afare.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Vanzai chiso chenyu pazvivi zvangu uye mudzime zvakaipa zvangu zvose.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Sikai mukati mangu mwoyo wakachena, imi Mwari, uye muvandudze mweya wakarurama mukati mangu.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
Regai kundirasa pamberi penyu kana kubvisa Mweya wenyu Mutsvene kwandiri.
12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
Dzoreraizve kwandiri mufaro woruponeso rwenyu, uye mundipe mweya unoda, kuti undiraramise.
13 Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted to thee.
Ipapo ndichadzidzisa vadariki nzira dzenyu, uye vatadzi vachatendeukira kwamuri.
14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation. And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Ndiponesei pamhosva yeropa, imi Mwari, iyemi Mwari anondiponesa, ipapo rurimi rwangu ruchaimba zvokururama kwenyu.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Haiwa Ishe, zarurai miromo yangu, ipapo muromo wangu uchaparidza rumbidzo yenyu.
16 For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt offering.
Hamufariri chibayiro, ndingadai ndakuvigirai, imi hamufariri zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.
Zvibayiro zvaMwari mweya wakaputsika; mwoyo wakaputsika nowakapwanyika, imi Mwari hamuzoushori.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Pamufaro wenyu wakanaka, itai kuti Zioni ribudirire; muvake masvingo eJerusarema.
19 Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Ipapo pachava nezvibayiro zvakarurama, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakazara zvinokufadzai; ipapo hando dzichabayirwa paaritari yenyu.
