Psalms 51
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki tango mosakoli Natan akomaki epai ya Davidi sima na ye kosala ekobo elongo na Batisheba. Oh Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa kolanda bolingo monene na Yo; longola masumu na ngai kolanda mawa monene na Yo!
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Sukola ngai mobimba mpo na kolongola mabe na ngai, mpe petola ngai na masumu na ngai.
3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Pamba te nayebi mabe na ngai, mpe masumu na ngai ezalaka tango nyonso liboso na ngai.
4 Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest.
Epai na Yo, epai na Yo kaka, nasali masumu mpe mabe na miso na Yo. Boye, okozala sembo tango okozwa mokano, mpe okozala na pamela te tango okokata makambo.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Solo, nabotamaki kati na lisumu; wuta na libumu ya mama na ngai, nazali mosumuki.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
Nzokande Yo, osepelaka na bosembo, ata kati na libumu; mpe okoteya ngai bwanya kati na esika ebombama.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Petola ngai na nzela ya izope, mpe nakokoma peto; sukola ngai, mpe nakokoma pembe koleka mvula ya pembe.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
Sepelisa ngai mpe yokisa ngai nsayi na motema; mpe mikuwa na ngai oyo obukaki ekosepela makasi.
9 Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Kotala lisusu masumu na ngai te, mpe longola bambeba na ngai nyonso.
10 Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
Oh Nzambe, mpo na ngai, kela motema ya peto; mpe kati na ngai, yeisa molimo sika mpe elenda.
11 Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Kobengana ngai te mosika ya elongi na Yo, mpe kolongola te kati na ngai Molimo Mosantu na Yo.
12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
Zongisela ngai esengo ya lobiko na Yo, mpe kabela ngai molimo oyo emibongisi malamu mpo na kolendisaka ngai.
13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
Nakoteya banzela na Yo epai ya babuki mibeko, mpe bato ya masumu bakozonga epai na Yo.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Oh Nzambe! Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na mokumba ya makila, mpe lolemo na ngai ekosakola bosembo na Yo.
15 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
Nkolo, fungola bibebu na ngai, mpe monoko na ngai ekokumisa Yo.
16 For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Mpo ete osepelaka na mbeka te, nakobonza te mbeka ya kotumba oyo ondimaka te.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Nzambe, bambeka oyo osepelaka na yango ezali: molimo oyo ebukani. Nzambe, oyinaka te motema oyo etutami mpe emikitisi.
18 Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Na ngolu na Yo, salela Siona bolamu, tonga bamir ya Yelusalemi.
19 Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
Bongo okosepela na bambeka ya bosembo, bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo ya kokoka; mpe bangombe ya mibali ekobonzama na bitumbelo na Yo.
