Psalms 51

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David, When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba'.” Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy kindness: according to the greatness of thy mercies 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 my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Sukula mambimbi mama moso. Ayi wuphedisa mu disumu diama.

3 For of my transgressions I have full knowledge; and my sin is before me continually.

Bila nzebi zinzimbala ziama ayi disumu diama didi ku ntualꞌama mu zithangu zioso.

4 To thee, thee only, have I sinned, and what is evil in thy eyes have I done: —in order that thou mightest be righteous when thou speakest, be justified 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, in iniquity was I brought forth; 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: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses [of the heart].

Bukiedika ngeyo tidi ti kiedika kiba mu khati ku nitu. Wundonga nduenga mu khati yi ntimꞌama

7 Cleanse me from sin 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 Cause me to hear gladness and joy; 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 all my iniquities do thou blot out.

Sueka zizi kiaku va ntuala masumu mama ayi kubula mbimbi ama yoso.

10 Create unto me a clean heart, O God; and a firm spirit renew thou 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 thy holy spirit do not take from me.

Kadi kukhuka va ntuala zizi kiaku; kadi botula pheve aku yinlongo mu minu.

12 Restore unto me the gladness of thy salvation; and with a liberal spirit do thou support me.—

Wuphutudila khini yi phulusu aku ayi bika wuphana Pheve yi luzolo lu mboti muingi yikhindisa.

13 I will 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 blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [that] my tongue may 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 desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: in burnt-offering hast thou no delight.

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, wilt thou 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 favor 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 be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and entire offering: then shall bullocks be offered upon thy altar.

Kuna kuela ba makaba ma busonga, makaba mayoko mamvimba meti kumonisa khini. Buna zingombi zimbakala ziela tambuku va ntalꞌaku.
