Psalms 51
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Pamene Mneneri Natani anabwera kwa iye atachita chigololo ndi Batiseba. Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Mulungu, molingana ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika; molingana ndi chifundo chanu chachikulu mufafanize mphulupulu zanga.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Munditsuke zolakwa zanga zonse ndipo mundiyeretse kuchotsa tchimo langa.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Pakuti ndikudziwa mphulupulu zanga, ndipo tchimo langa lili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
Motsutsana ndi Inu, Inu nokha, ndachimwa ndipo ndachita zoyipa pamaso panu, Kotero kuti inu mwapezeka kuti ndinu wolungama pamene muyankhula ndi pamene muweruza.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Zoonadi ine ndinali wochimwa pomwe ndimabadwa, wochimwa kuyambira pa nthawi imene amayi anga anakhala woyembekezera ine.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Zoonadi inu mumafuna choonadi mu ziwalo zamʼkati mwanga; mumandiphunzitsa nzeru mʼkati mwanga mwenimweni.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Mundiyeretse ndi hisope ndipo ndidzayera, munditsuke ndipo ndidzayera kuposa matalala
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Mundilole ndimve chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo, mulole kuti mafupa amene mwawamphwanya akondwere.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Mufulatire machimo anga ndi kufafaniza zolakwa zanga zonse.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Mulenge mʼkati mwanga mtima woyera Inu Mulungu ndi kukonzanso mzimu wokhazikika mwa ine.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Musandichotse pamaso panu kapena kuchotsa Mzimu wanu Woyera mwa ine.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Bwezeretsani mwa ine chimwemwe cha chipulumutso chanu ndipo mundipatse mzimu wofuna kumvera kuti undilimbitse.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
Pamenepo ndidzaphunzitsa anthu amphulupulu njira zanu kuti ochimwa adzabwerere kwa inu.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Mundipulumutse ku tchimo lokhetsa magazi, Inu Mulungu, Mulungu wa chipulumutso changa, ndipo lilime langa lidzayimba zachilungamo chanu.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
Inu Ambuye tsekulani milomo yanga, ndipo pakamwa panga padzalengeza matamando anu.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
Inu simusangalatsidwa ndi nsembe wamba. Ndikanapereka nsembe yopsereza, Inu simukondwera nayo.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Nsembe za Mulungu ndi mzimu wosweka; mtima wosweka ndi wachisoni Inu Mulungu simudzawunyoza.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Mwa kukoma mtima kwanu mupange Ziyoni kuti alemere; mumange makoma a Yerusalemu.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Kotero kudzakhala nsembe zachilungamo, nsembe yonse yopsereza yokondweretsa Inu; ndipo ngʼombe zazimuna zidzaperekedwa pa guwa lanu la nsembe.
