Psalms 51
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Unirehemu, Mungu, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako; kwa ajili ya wingi wa matendo yako ya rehema, uyafute makosa yangu.
2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Unioshe kabisa uovu wangu na unisafishe dhambi zangu.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
Kwa maana ninayajua makosa yangu, na dhambi yangu iko mbele yako siku zote.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
Dhidi yako, wewe pekee, nimetenda dhambi na kufanya uovu mbele ya macho yako; uko sawa usemapo; wewe uko sahahi utoapo hukumu.
5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin 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 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
katika moyo wangu wewe utanifanya niijue hekima.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Unisafishe kwa hisopo, nami nitakuwa safi; unioshe, nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji.
8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Unifanye kusikia furaha na shangwe ili kwamba mifupa ulioivunja ifurahi.
9 Hide 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 steadfast spirit within me.
Uniumbie moyo safi, Mungu, na uifanye upya roho ya haki ndani yangu.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
Usiniondoe uweponi mwako, na usimuondoe roho Mtakatifu ndani yangu.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
Unirudishie furaha ya wokovu wako, na unihifadhi mimi kwa roho ya utayari.
13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
Ndipo nitawafundisha wakosaji jia zako, na wenye dhambi watakugeukia wewe.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Unisamehe kwa ajili ya umwagaji damu, Mungu wa wokovu wangu, nami nitapiga kelele za shangwe ya haki yako.
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Ee Bwana, uifungue midomo yangu, na mdomo wangu itazieleza sifa zako.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Kwa maana wewe haufurahishwi katika sadaka, vinginevyo ningekutolea sadaka; wewe hauwi radhi katika sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Sadaka ya Mungu ni roho iliyovunjika. Wewe, Mungu hautadharau moyo uliopondeka na kujutia.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
Uitendee mema Sayuni katika nia yako nzuri; uzijenge tena kuta za Yerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
Kisha wewe utafurahia sadaka yenye haki, katika sadaka za kuteketeza; ndipo watu wetu watatoa ng'ombe kwenye madhabahu yako.
