Psalms 51
1 O God, be merciful to me, because you love me faithfully; because you are very merciful, erase [the record of] the ways that I disobeyed you!
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Panguva yakauya muprofita Natani kwaari shure kwokuita upombwe kwaDhavhidhi naBhatishebha. Ndinzwirei tsitsi, imi Mwari, nokuda kworudo rwenyu rusingaperi; dzimai kudarika kwangu nokuda kwengoni dzenyu huru.
2 Make me pure from the wrong things that I have done; make me clean from [the guilt of] my sin.
Shambidzai zvakaipa zvangu zvose uye mundinatse kubva pachivi changu.
3 [I say that] because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you; I cannot forget them.
Nokuti ndinoziva kudarika kwangu, uye chivi changu chinogara chiri pamberi pangu.
4 You, you only, are the one that I have [really] sinned against, and you have seen the evil things that I have done. When you say that I am guilty, you are right/correct, and when you judge me, you justly say [that I deserve to be punished].
Ndakakutadzirai imi, iyemi moga nokuita chinhu chakaipa pamberi penyu, kuti munzi makarurama pamunotaura uye musapomerwa mhosva pakutonga kwenyu.
5 I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; [truly], I have been like that since my mother conceived me.
Zvirokwazvo ndakanga ndiri mutadzi pandakaberekwa, ndiri mutadzi kubva pandakaumbwa mudumbu ramai vangu.
6 What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you [can] teach me how to act wisely.
Zvirokwazvo imi munoda chokwadi pakati pomwoyo; munondidzidzisa uchenjeri panzvimbo yomukatikati.
7 Purify me from the guilt of my sins, and [after that happens], I will be clean [in my inner being]; cleanse me, and [then in my inner being] I will be (whiter than snow/very clean).
Ndinatsei nehisopi, ipapo ndichachena; ndishambidzei, ipapo ndichachena sechando.
8 Allow/Cause me to be joyful [DOU] again; you have (crushed my spirit/completely discouraged me) [MTY]; [but now] let me rejoice [again].
Ndiitei kuti ndinzwe mufaro nokufarisisa; itai kuti mapfupa amakapwanya afare.
9 Do not continue to look at the sins [IDM] that I have committed; erase the record of the evil things that I have done.
Vanzai chiso chenyu pazvivi zvangu uye mudzime zvakaipa zvangu zvose.
10 O God, cause my inner being to be pure. Put new [thoughts] within me and make me faithful again.
Sikai mukati mangu mwoyo wakachena, imi Mwari, uye muvandudze mweya wakarurama mukati mangu.
11 Do not send me away from you [because of my sin], and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
Regai kundirasa pamberi penyu kana kubvisa Mweya wenyu Mutsvene kwandiri.
12 Cause/Allow me to be happy again because of [knowing] that you have freed me [from the guilt of my sin], and make me willing [to obey you].
Dzoreraizve kwandiri mufaro woruponeso rwenyu, uye mundipe mweya unoda, kuti undiraramise.
13 If you do that, I will [be able to] teach [other] sinners what you want them to do, and they will repent and begin to obey you.
Ipapo ndichadzidzisa vadariki nzira dzenyu, uye vatadzi vachatendeukira kwamuri.
14 O God, you are the one who saves me; forgive me for being guilty of causing someone [who was not my enemy] to die. [When you do that], I will sing joyfully about your being very good and righteous.
Ndiponesei pamhosva yeropa, imi Mwari, iyemi Mwari anondiponesa, ipapo rurimi rwangu ruchaimba zvokururama kwenyu.
15 O Yahweh, help me to speak [in order that] I may praise you.
Haiwa Ishe, zarurai miromo yangu, ipapo muromo wangu uchaparidza rumbidzo yenyu.
16 You are not pleased [only] with the sacrifices [that people bring to you]. If that were [enough to] please you, I would bring you sacrifices. You are not pleased with burnt offerings [alone].
Hamufariri chibayiro, ndingadai ndakuvigirai, imi hamufariri zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
17 The sacrifice that you [really] want is for people to be truly humble and sorry [for having sinned]; O God, you will not refuse that kind of sacrifice.
Zvibayiro zvaMwari mweya wakaputsika; mwoyo wakaputsika nowakapwanyika, imi Mwari hamuzoushori.
18 [O God], be good to [the people who live in] Jerusalem [MTY], [and help them] to rebuild the city walls.
Pamufaro wenyu wakanaka, itai kuti Zioni ribudirire; muvake masvingo eJerusarema.
19 When that happens, [they will bring you] the proper sacrifices, animals that they will completely burn, young bulls that they will burn on your altar, and you will be pleased.
Ipapo pachava nezvibayiro zvakarurama, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakazara zvinokufadzai; ipapo hando dzichabayirwa paaritari yenyu.
