Psalms 51
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki tango mosakoli Natan akomaki epai ya Davidi sima na ye kosala ekobo elongo na Batisheba. Oh Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa kolanda bolingo monene na Yo; longola masumu na ngai kolanda mawa monene na Yo!
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Sukola ngai mobimba mpo na kolongola mabe na ngai, mpe petola ngai na masumu na ngai.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me.
Pamba te nayebi mabe na ngai, mpe masumu na ngai ezalaka tango nyonso liboso na ngai.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.
Epai na Yo, epai na Yo kaka, nasali masumu mpe mabe na miso na Yo. Boye, okozala sembo tango okozwa mokano, mpe okozala na pamela te tango okokata makambo.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Solo, nabotamaki kati na lisumu; wuta na libumu ya mama na ngai, nazali mosumuki.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Nzokande Yo, osepelaka na bosembo, ata kati na libumu; mpe okoteya ngai bwanya kati na esika ebombama.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Petola ngai na nzela ya izope, mpe nakokoma peto; sukola ngai, mpe nakokoma pembe koleka mvula ya pembe.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice.
Sepelisa ngai mpe yokisa ngai nsayi na motema; mpe mikuwa na ngai oyo obukaki ekosepela makasi.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Kotala lisusu masumu na ngai te, mpe longola bambeba na ngai nyonso.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Oh Nzambe, mpo na ngai, kela motema ya peto; mpe kati na ngai, yeisa molimo sika mpe elenda.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Kobengana ngai te mosika ya elongi na Yo, mpe kolongola te kati na ngai Molimo Mosantu na Yo.
12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit.
Zongisela ngai esengo ya lobiko na Yo, mpe kabela ngai molimo oyo emibongisi malamu mpo na kolendisaka ngai.
13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted to thee.
Nakoteya banzela na Yo epai ya babuki mibeko, mpe bato ya masumu bakozonga epai na Yo.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Oh Nzambe! Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na mokumba ya makila, mpe lolemo na ngai ekosakola bosembo na Yo.
15 O LORD, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Nkolo, fungola bibebu na ngai, mpe monoko na ngai ekokumisa Yo.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt-offering.
Mpo ete osepelaka na mbeka te, nakobonza te mbeka ya kotumba oyo ondimaka te.
17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Nzambe, bambeka oyo osepelaka na yango ezali: molimo oyo ebukani. Nzambe, oyinaka te motema oyo etutami mpe emikitisi.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Na ngolu na Yo, salela Siona bolamu, tonga bamir ya Yelusalemi.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thy altar.
Bongo okosepela na bambeka ya bosembo, bambeka ya kotumba mpe makabo ya kokoka; mpe bangombe ya mibali ekobonzama na bitumbelo na Yo.
