Psalms 51
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
Unirehemu, Mungu, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako; kwa ajili ya wingi wa matendo yako ya rehema, uyafute makosa yangu.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Unioshe kabisa uovu wangu na unisafishe dhambi zangu.
3 For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
Kwa maana ninayajua makosa yangu, na dhambi yangu iko mbele yako siku zote.
4 Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Dhidi yako, wewe pekee, nimetenda dhambi na kufanya uovu mbele ya macho yako; uko sawa usemapo; wewe uko sahahi utoapo hukumu.
5 For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
Tazama, nilizaliwa katika uovu; pindi tu mama yangu aliponibeba mimba, nilikuwa katika dhambi. Tazama, wewe unahitaji uaminifu ndani ya moyo wangu;
6 For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
katika moyo wangu wewe utanifanya niijue hekima.
7 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
Unisafishe kwa hisopo, nami nitakuwa safi; unioshe, nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji.
8 Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
Unifanye kusikia furaha na shangwe ili kwamba mifupa ulioivunja ifurahi.
9 Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Uufiche uso wako mbali na dhambi zangu na uyafute maovu yangu yote.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
Uniumbie moyo safi, Mungu, na uifanye upya roho ya haki ndani yangu.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.
Usiniondoe uweponi mwako, na usimuondoe roho Mtakatifu ndani yangu.
12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
Unirudishie furaha ya wokovu wako, na unihifadhi mimi kwa roho ya utayari.
13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.
Ndipo nitawafundisha wakosaji jia zako, na wenye dhambi watakugeukia wewe.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
Unisamehe kwa ajili ya umwagaji damu, Mungu wa wokovu wangu, nami nitapiga kelele za shangwe ya haki yako.
15 O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Ee Bwana, uifungue midomo yangu, na mdomo wangu itazieleza sifa zako.
16 For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given [it]: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
Kwa maana wewe haufurahishwi katika sadaka, vinginevyo ningekutolea sadaka; wewe hauwi radhi katika sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
17 Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
Sadaka ya Mungu ni roho iliyovunjika. Wewe, Mungu hautadharau moyo uliopondeka na kujutia.
18 Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
Uitendee mema Sayuni katika nia yako nzuri; uzijenge tena kuta za Yerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
Kisha wewe utafurahia sadaka yenye haki, katika sadaka za kuteketeza; ndipo watu wetu watatoa ng'ombe kwenye madhabahu yako.
