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 your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.

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 mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Shambidzai zvakaipa zvangu zvose uye mundinatse kubva pachivi changu.

3 For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

Nokuti ndinoziva kudarika kwangu, uye chivi changu chinogara chiri pamberi pangu.

4 Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

Ndakakutadzirai imi, iyemi moga nokuita chinhu chakaipa pamberi penyu, kuti munzi makarurama pamunotaura uye musapomerwa mhosva pakutonga kwenyu.

5 For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

Zvirokwazvo ndakanga ndiri mutadzi pandakaberekwa, ndiri mutadzi kubva pandakaumbwa mudumbu ramai vangu.

6 For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.

Zvirokwazvo imi munoda chokwadi pakati pomwoyo; munondidzidzisa uchenjeri panzvimbo yomukatikati.

7 You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

Ndinatsei nehisopi, ipapo ndichachena; ndishambidzei, ipapo ndichachena sechando.

8 You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

Ndiitei kuti ndinzwe mufaro nokufarisisa; itai kuti mapfupa amakapwanya afare.

9 Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine 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 in my inward parts.

Sikai mukati mangu mwoyo wakachena, imi Mwari, uye muvandudze mweya wakarurama mukati mangu.

11 Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.

Regai kundirasa pamberi penyu kana kubvisa Mweya wenyu Mutsvene kwandiri.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.

Dzoreraizve kwandiri mufaro woruponeso rwenyu, uye mundipe mweya unoda, kuti undiraramise.

13 [Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.

Ipapo ndichadzidzisa vadariki nzira dzenyu, uye vatadzi vachatendeukira kwamuri.

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.

Ndiponesei pamhosva yeropa, imi Mwari, iyemi Mwari anondiponesa, ipapo rurimi rwangu ruchaimba zvokururama kwenyu.

15 O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.

Haiwa Ishe, zarurai miromo yangu, ipapo muromo wangu uchaparidza rumbidzo yenyu.

16 For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.

Hamufariri chibayiro, ndingadai ndakuvigirai, imi hamufariri zvipiriso zvinopiswa.

17 Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

Zvibayiro zvaMwari mweya wakaputsika; mwoyo wakaputsika nowakapwanyika, imi Mwari hamuzoushori.

18 Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.

Pamufaro wenyu wakanaka, itai kuti Zioni ribudirire; muvake masvingo eJerusarema.

19 Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.

Ipapo pachava nezvibayiro zvakarurama, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakazara zvinokufadzai; ipapo hando dzichabayirwa paaritari yenyu.
