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!
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 Make me pure from the wrong things that I have done; make me clean from [the guilt of] my sin.
Sukula mambimbi mama moso. Ayi wuphedisa mu disumu diama.
3 [I say that] because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you; I cannot forget them.
Bila nzebi zinzimbala ziama ayi disumu diama didi ku ntualꞌama mu zithangu zioso.
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].
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 I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; [truly], I have been like that since my mother conceived me.
Bukiedika, minu ndidi nkua masumu tona mu mbutukulu; nkua masumu tona thangu ngudi ama kabaka buemba buama.
6 What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you [can] teach me how to act wisely.
Bukiedika ngeyo tidi ti kiedika kiba mu khati ku nitu. Wundonga nduenga mu khati yi ntimꞌama
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).
Wuphedisa mu isopi buna ma ndivedila; wutsukula buna ndiela ba wuphembi viokila mvula yi matadi ma phembi;
8 Allow/Cause me to be joyful [DOU] again; you have (crushed my spirit/completely discouraged me) [MTY]; [but now] let me rejoice [again].
Bika ndimona khini ayi ndiyangalala Bika mimvesi miomi wukosikisa mi yangalala.
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.
Sueka zizi kiaku va ntuala masumu mama ayi kubula mbimbi ama yoso.
10 O God, cause my inner being to be pure. Put new [thoughts] within me and make me faithful again.
Vanga mu minu ntima wuvedila, a Nzambi ayi buela kitula mu minu pheve yimona ayi yikinda.
11 Do not send me away from you [because of my sin], and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
Kadi kukhuka va ntuala zizi kiaku; kadi botula pheve aku yinlongo mu minu.
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].
Wuphutudila khini yi phulusu aku ayi bika wuphana Pheve yi luzolo lu mboti muingi yikhindisa.
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.
Buna ndiela longa zinzila ziaku kuidi bobo beti vanga zinzimbala, ayi bankua masumu bela vutuka kuidi ngeyo.
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.
Wuphukisa mu nzimbala yi menga, a Nzambi Nzambi yoyi yeti kuphukisa, ayi ludimi luama luela yimbidila busonga buaku.
15 O Yahweh, help me to speak [in order that] I may praise you.
A Yave zibula bididi biama, ayi munuꞌama wela yamikisa nzitusu aku.
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].
Ngeyo wuzolanga ko makaba, bila enati buawu; nganu ndinatina mawu; ayi wumonanga khini ko mu makaba mayoko.
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.
Makaba ma Nzambi madi pheve yi kosakana ntima wukosakana ayi wu kiadi a Nzambi, wulendi ku milenza ko.
18 [O God], be good to [the people who live in] Jerusalem [MTY], [and help them] to rebuild the city walls.
Mu diambu di mamboti maku, bika wuvangila Sioni mamboti, tunga diaka bibaka bi Yelusalemi.
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.
Kuna kuela ba makaba ma busonga, makaba mayoko mamvimba meti kumonisa khini. Buna zingombi zimbakala ziela tambuku va ntalꞌaku.
