< 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.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; mu thangu mbikuidi Natani kayiza kuidi Davidi mu kitsuza kiandi ayi Betaseba. A Nzambi, wumboni kiadi boso buididi luzolo luaku lu ngolo; boso buididi kiadi kiaku kinneni, kubula zinzimbala ziama.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Sukula mambimbi mama moso. Ayi wuphedisa mu disumu diama.
3 For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Bila nzebi zinzimbala ziama ayi disumu diama didi ku ntualꞌama mu zithangu zioso.
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.
Kuidi ngeyo, veka kaka ndivodidi masumu; ayi ndivengi mambimbi va meso maku; muingi wumonika wusonga mu thangu wutuba ayi wukambulu zimbala mu thangu wunsambisa
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Bukiedika, minu ndidi nkua masumu tona mu mbutukulu; nkua masumu tona thangu ngudi ama kabaka buemba buama.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
Bukiedika ngeyo tidi ti kiedika kiba mu khati ku nitu. Wundonga nduenga mu khati yi ntimꞌama
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Wuphedisa mu isopi buna ma ndivedila; wutsukula buna ndiela ba wuphembi viokila mvula yi matadi ma phembi;
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
Bika ndimona khini ayi ndiyangalala Bika mimvesi miomi wukosikisa mi yangalala.
9 Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Sueka zizi kiaku va ntuala masumu mama ayi kubula mbimbi ama yoso.
10 Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
Vanga mu minu ntima wuvedila, a Nzambi ayi buela kitula mu minu pheve yimona ayi yikinda.
11 Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Kadi kukhuka va ntuala zizi kiaku; kadi botula pheve aku yinlongo mu minu.
12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
Wuphutudila khini yi phulusu aku ayi bika wuphana Pheve yi luzolo lu mboti muingi yikhindisa.
13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
Buna ndiela longa zinzila ziaku kuidi bobo beti vanga zinzimbala, ayi bankua masumu bela vutuka kuidi ngeyo.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Wuphukisa mu nzimbala yi menga, a Nzambi Nzambi yoyi yeti kuphukisa, ayi ludimi luama luela yimbidila busonga buaku.
15 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
A Yave zibula bididi biama, ayi munuꞌama wela yamikisa nzitusu aku.
16 For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Ngeyo wuzolanga ko makaba, bila enati buawu; nganu ndinatina mawu; ayi wumonanga khini ko mu makaba mayoko.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Makaba ma Nzambi madi pheve yi kosakana ntima wukosakana ayi wu kiadi a Nzambi, wulendi ku milenza ko.
18 Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Mu diambu di mamboti maku, bika wuvangila Sioni mamboti, tunga diaka bibaka bi 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.
Kuna kuela ba makaba ma busonga, makaba mayoko mamvimba meti kumonisa khini. Buna zingombi zimbakala ziela tambuku va ntalꞌaku.
