Thaburi 51
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai-rĩ, njiguĩra tha, kũringana na wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga; kũringana na tha ciaku nyingĩ-rĩ, tharia mahĩtia makwa mathire.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.
2 Thambia mahĩtia makwa mothe, na ũũtherie mehia makwa.
Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ mahĩtia makwa, namo mehia makwa makoragwo mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Wee nĩwe njĩhĩirie, o Wee wiki, na ngeeka ũndũ mũũru maitho-inĩ maku, nĩguo Wee wonekage ũtarĩ na mahĩtia rĩrĩa ũkwaria, na ũrĩ wa kĩhooto rĩrĩa ũgũtua ciira.
Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.
5 Ti-itherũ ndaciarirwo ndĩ mwĩhia; maitũ aagĩire nda ya kũnjiara arĩ o na mehia.
Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
6 Ti-itherũ, Wee wendaga ũhoro wa ma kuuma ngoro thĩinĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũndutaga kũgĩa na ũũgĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa.
Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Theria na mũthobi, na nĩngũthera; thaambia, na nĩngwerũha gũkĩra ira.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Tũma ngene na njanjamũke; mahĩndĩ marĩa ũthetherete nĩmagĩkene.
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
9 Hitha ũthiũ waku ndũkoone mehia makwa, na ũtharie mahĩtia makwa mothe.
Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Wee Ngai-rĩ, nyũmbĩra ngoro theru thĩinĩ wakwa, na ũnjerũhĩrie roho wa kwĩhokeka thĩinĩ wakwa.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Ndũkanyingate nyume harĩwe, o na kana weherie Roho waku Mũtheru kuuma thĩinĩ wakwa.
Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Njookeria gĩkeno kĩrĩa kĩa ũhonokio waku, na ũũhe roho wa kũndũũria ngwathĩkagĩra.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngaruta andũ arĩa aremi nĩguo mamenye njĩra ciaku, nao ehia magũcookerere.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.
14 Wee Ngai, o Wee Ngai ũrĩa ũũhonokagia-rĩ, honokia kuumana na ũiti thakame, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwakwa nĩrũkaina ũhoro wa ũthingu waku.
Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
15 Wee Mwathani, tumũra mĩromo yakwa, nako kanua gakwa koimbũre ũgooci waku.
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
16 Wee ndũkenagio nĩ kũrutĩrwo igongona, korwo nĩũkenagio nĩrĩo no ngũrutĩre; o na ndũkenagio nĩ magongona ma njino.
For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 Magongona marĩa Ngai etĩkagĩra nĩ roho ũrĩa mũthuthĩku; ngoro ĩrĩa thuthĩku na ĩkahera-rĩ, Wee Ngai ndũngĩmĩrega.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
18 Tũma itũũra rĩa Zayuni rĩgaacĩre nĩ ũndũ wa wega waku; aka thingo cia Jerusalemu rĩngĩ.
In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgakenagĩra magongona ma ũthingu, na maruta ma njino o marĩa macinagwo magathira biũ; ningĩ magongona ma ndegwa nĩmakarutagĩrwo kĩgongona-inĩ gĩaku.
Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
