Amahubo 51
1 Ngihawukela, Nkulunkulu, ngokothandolomusa wakho; ngobunengi besihawu sakho yesula iziphambeko zami.
To victorie, the salm of Dauid; `whanne Nathan the prophete cam to hym, whanne he entride to Bersabee. God, haue thou merci on me; bi thi greet merci. And bi the mychilnesse of thi merciful doyngis; do thou awei my wickidnesse.
2 Ungigezisise ebubini bami, ungihlambulule esonweni sami.
More waische thou me fro my wickidnesse; and clense thou me fro my synne.
3 Ngoba mina ngiyazivuma iziphambeko zami, lesono sami sihlezi siphambi kwami.
For Y knouleche my wickidnesse; and my synne is euere ayens me.
4 Ngonile kuwe, kuwe wedwa, ngenze okubi emehlweni akho, ukuze kuthiwe ulungile ekukhulumeni kwakho, uhlanzeke ekwahluleleni kwakho.
I haue synned to thee aloone, and Y haue do yuel bifor thee; that thou be iustified in thi wordis, and ouercome whanne thou art demed. For lo!
5 Khangela, ngazalelwa ebubini, lomama wangomulela esonweni.
Y was conseyued in wickednessis; and my modir conceyuede me in synnes.
6 Khangela, uthanda iqiniso endaweni ezingaphakathi; lekusithekeni ungenza ngazi inhlakanipho.
For lo! thou louedist treuthe; thou hast schewid to me the vncerteyn thingis, and pryuy thingis of thi wisdom.
7 Ngihlanze ngehisope, ngizahlambuluka; ngigezisa, ngizakuba mhlophe kuleliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
Lord, sprenge thou me with ysope, and Y schal be clensid; waische thou me, and Y schal be maad whijt more than snow.
8 Ngizwise intokozo lenjabulo, ukuze athabe amathamboowachobozileyo.
Yyue thou ioie, and gladnesse to myn heryng; and boonys maad meke schulen ful out make ioye.
9 Fihla ubuso bakho ezonweni zami, wesule zonke iziphambeko zami.
Turne awei thi face fro my synnes; and do awei alle my wickidnesses.
10 Nkulunkulu, dala kimi inhliziyo ehlambulukileyo, njalo uvuselele umoya oqinileyo phakathi kwami.
God, make thou a clene herte in me; and make thou newe a riytful spirit in my entrailis.
11 Ungangilahli ebusweni bakho, njalo ungasusi umoya wakho ongcwele kimi.
Caste thou me not awei fro thi face; and take thou not awei fro me thin hooli spirit.
12 Buyisela kimi intokozo yosindiso lwakho, ungisekele ngomoya ovumayo.
Yiue thou to me the gladnesse of thyn helthe; and conferme thou me with the principal spirit.
13 Khona ngizafundisa abaphambukayo indlela zakho, lezoni zizaphendukela kuwe.
I schal teche wickid men thi weies; and vnfeithful men schulen be conuertid to thee.
14 Ngikhulula ecaleni legazi, Nkulunkulu, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwami, ulimi lwami luzahlabelela kakhulu ngokulunga kwakho.
God, the God of myn helthe, delyuere thou me fro bloodis; and my tunge schal ioyfuli synge thi riytfulnesse.
15 Nkosi, vula indebe zami, lomlomo wami uzamemezela indumiso yakho.
Lord, `opene thou my lippis; and my mouth schal telle thi preysyng.
16 Ngoba kawuthandi umhlatshelo, ngoba bengizawunika; kawuthokozi ngomnikelo wokutshiswa.
For if thou haddist wold sacrifice, Y hadde youe; treuli thou schalt not delite in brent sacrifices.
17 Imihlatshelo kaNkulunkulu ingumoya odabukileyo; inhliziyo edabukileyo leyephukileyo, Nkulunkulu, kawuyikuyidelela.
A sacrifice to God is a spirit troblid; God, thou schalt not dispise a contrit herte and `maad meke.
18 Yenzele iZiyoni okuhle ngokuthanda kwakho; uyakhe imiduli yeJerusalema.
Lord, do thou benygneli in thi good wille to Syon; that the wallis of Jerusalem be bildid.
19 Khona uzajabulela iminikelo yokulunga, umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomnikelo wonke; khona bezanikela amajongosi phezu kwelathi lakho.
Thanne thou schalt take plesauntli the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, offryngis, and brent sacrifices; thanne thei schulen putte calues on thin auter.
