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.
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 Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.
Munditsuke zolakwa zanga zonse ndipo mundiyeretse kuchotsa tchimo langa.
3 For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.
Pakuti ndikudziwa mphulupulu zanga, ndipo tchimo langa lili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
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.
Motsutsana ndi Inu, Inu nokha, ndachimwa ndipo ndachita zoyipa pamaso panu, Kotero kuti inu mwapezeka kuti ndinu wolungama pamene muyankhula ndi pamene muweruza.
5 Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
Zoonadi ine ndinali wochimwa pomwe ndimabadwa, wochimwa kuyambira pa nthawi imene amayi anga anakhala woyembekezera ine.
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.
Zoonadi inu mumafuna choonadi mu ziwalo zamʼkati mwanga; mumandiphunzitsa nzeru mʼkati mwanga mwenimweni.
7 Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
Mundiyeretse ndi hisope ndipo ndidzayera, munditsuke ndipo ndidzayera kuposa matalala
8 Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
Mundilole ndimve chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo, mulole kuti mafupa amene mwawamphwanya akondwere.
9 Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.
Mufulatire machimo anga ndi kufafaniza zolakwa zanga zonse.
10 Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
Mulenge mʼkati mwanga mtima woyera Inu Mulungu ndi kukonzanso mzimu wokhazikika mwa ine.
11 Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.
Musandichotse pamaso panu kapena kuchotsa Mzimu wanu Woyera mwa ine.
12 Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.
Bwezeretsani mwa ine chimwemwe cha chipulumutso chanu ndipo mundipatse mzimu wofuna kumvera kuti undilimbitse.
13 Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.
Pamenepo ndidzaphunzitsa anthu amphulupulu njira zanu kuti ochimwa adzabwerere kwa inu.
14 Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.
Mundipulumutse ku tchimo lokhetsa magazi, Inu Mulungu, Mulungu wa chipulumutso changa, ndipo lilime langa lidzayimba zachilungamo chanu.
15 O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.
Inu Ambuye tsekulani milomo yanga, ndipo pakamwa panga padzalengeza matamando anu.
16 You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.
Inu simusangalatsidwa ndi nsembe wamba. Ndikanapereka nsembe yopsereza, Inu simukondwera nayo.
17 The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
Nsembe za Mulungu ndi mzimu wosweka; mtima wosweka ndi wachisoni Inu Mulungu simudzawunyoza.
18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.
Mwa kukoma mtima kwanu mupange Ziyoni kuti alemere; mumange makoma a Yerusalemu.
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.
Kotero kudzakhala nsembe zachilungamo, nsembe yonse yopsereza yokondweretsa Inu; ndipo ngʼombe zazimuna zidzaperekedwa pa guwa lanu la nsembe.
