Psalms 51
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness: according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Baada ya kukemewa na nabii Nathani kwa kuzini na Bathsheba. Ee Mungu, unihurumie, kwa kadiri ya upendo wako usiokoma, kwa kadiri ya huruma yako kuu, uyafute makosa yangu.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Unioshe na uovu wangu wote na unitakase dhambi yangu.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Kwa maana ninajua makosa yangu, na dhambi yangu iko mbele yangu daima.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge.
Dhidi yako, wewe peke yako, nimetenda dhambi na kufanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pako, ili uthibitike kuwa wa kweli unenapo, na kuwa na haki utoapo hukumu.
5 Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Hakika mimi nilizaliwa mwenye dhambi, mwenye dhambi tangu nilipotungwa mimba kwa mama yangu.
6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
Hakika wewe wapendezwa na kweli itokayo moyoni, ndani sana ya moyo wangu wanifundisha hekima.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Nioshe kwa hisopo, nami nitakuwa safi, unisafishe, nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
Unipe kusikia furaha na shangwe, mifupa uliyoiponda na ifurahi.
9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Ufiche uso wako usizitazame dhambi zangu, na uufute uovu wangu wote.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Ee Mungu, uniumbie moyo safi, uifanye upya roho ya uthabiti ndani yangu.
11 Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me.
Usinitupe kutoka mbele zako wala kuniondolea Roho wako Mtakatifu.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.
Unirudishie tena furaha ya wokovu wako, unipe roho ya utii, ili initegemeze.
13 Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted to you.
Ndipo nitakapowafundisha wakosaji njia zako, na wenye dhambi watakugeukia wewe.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
Ee Mungu, Mungu uniokoaye, niokoe na hatia ya kumwaga damu, nao ulimi wangu utaimba juu ya haki yako.
15 O Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
Ee Bwana, fungua midomo yangu, na kinywa changu kitatangaza sifa zako.
16 For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
Wewe hupendezwi na dhabihu, au ningaliileta, hufurahii sadaka za kuteketezwa.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Bali dhabihu za Mungu ni roho iliyovunjika, moyo uliovunjika wenye toba, Ee Mungu, hutaudharau.
18 Do good in your good pleasure to Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.
Kwa wema wa radhi yako uifanye Sayuni istawi, ukazijenge upya kuta za Yerusalemu.
19 Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks on your altar.
Hapo ndipo kutakapokuwa na dhabihu za haki, sadaka nzima za kuteketezwa za kukupendeza sana, pia mafahali watatolewa madhabahuni mwako.
