Psalms 51
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.
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.
2 Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
Munditsuke zolakwa zanga zonse ndipo mundiyeretse kuchotsa tchimo langa.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
Pakuti ndikudziwa mphulupulu zanga, ndipo tchimo langa lili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.
Motsutsana ndi Inu, Inu nokha, ndachimwa ndipo ndachita zoyipa pamaso panu, Kotero kuti inu mwapezeka kuti ndinu wolungama pamene muyankhula ndi pamene muweruza.
5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
Zoonadi ine ndinali wochimwa pomwe ndimabadwa, wochimwa kuyambira pa nthawi imene amayi anga anakhala woyembekezera ine.
6 Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Zoonadi inu mumafuna choonadi mu ziwalo zamʼkati mwanga; mumandiphunzitsa nzeru mʼkati mwanga mwenimweni.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Mundiyeretse ndi hisope ndipo ndidzayera, munditsuke ndipo ndidzayera kuposa matalala
8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
Mundilole ndimve chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo, mulole kuti mafupa amene mwawamphwanya akondwere.
9 Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
Mufulatire machimo anga ndi kufafaniza zolakwa zanga zonse.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Mulenge mʼkati mwanga mtima woyera Inu Mulungu ndi kukonzanso mzimu wokhazikika mwa ine.
11 Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
Musandichotse pamaso panu kapena kuchotsa Mzimu wanu Woyera mwa ine.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
Bwezeretsani mwa ine chimwemwe cha chipulumutso chanu ndipo mundipatse mzimu wofuna kumvera kuti undilimbitse.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.
Pamenepo ndidzaphunzitsa anthu amphulupulu njira zanu kuti ochimwa adzabwerere kwa inu.
14 Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
Mundipulumutse ku tchimo lokhetsa magazi, Inu Mulungu, Mulungu wa chipulumutso changa, ndipo lilime langa lidzayimba zachilungamo chanu.
15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
Inu Ambuye tsekulani milomo yanga, ndipo pakamwa panga padzalengeza matamando anu.
16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.
Inu simusangalatsidwa ndi nsembe wamba. Ndikanapereka nsembe yopsereza, Inu simukondwera nayo.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
Nsembe za Mulungu ndi mzimu wosweka; mtima wosweka ndi wachisoni Inu Mulungu simudzawunyoza.
18 In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
Mwa kukoma mtima kwanu mupange Ziyoni kuti alemere; mumange makoma a Yerusalemu.
19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
Kotero kudzakhala nsembe zachilungamo, nsembe yonse yopsereza yokondweretsa Inu; ndipo ngʼombe zazimuna zidzaperekedwa pa guwa lanu la nsembe.
