Mapisarema 51
1 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.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Shambidzai zvakaipa zvangu zvose uye mundinatse kubva pachivi changu.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Nokuti ndinoziva kudarika kwangu, uye chivi changu chinogara chiri pamberi pangu.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
4 Ndakakutadzirai imi, iyemi moga nokuita chinhu chakaipa pamberi penyu, kuti munzi makarurama pamunotaura uye musapomerwa mhosva pakutonga kwenyu.
Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and may prevail when thou are criticized.
5 Zvirokwazvo ndakanga ndiri mutadzi pandakaberekwa, ndiri mutadzi kubva pandakaumbwa mudumbu ramai vangu.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Zvirokwazvo imi munoda chokwadi pakati pomwoyo; munondidzidzisa uchenjeri panzvimbo yomukatikati.
Behold, thou desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part thou will make me to know wisdom.
7 Ndinatsei nehisopi, ipapo ndichachena; ndishambidzei, ipapo ndichachena sechando.
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Ndiitei kuti ndinzwe mufaro nokufarisisa; itai kuti mapfupa amakapwanya afare.
Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.
9 Vanzai chiso chenyu pazvivi zvangu uye mudzime zvakaipa zvangu zvose.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Sikai mukati mangu mwoyo wakachena, imi Mwari, uye muvandudze mweya wakarurama mukati mangu.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Regai kundirasa pamberi penyu kana kubvisa Mweya wenyu Mutsvene kwandiri.
Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
12 Dzoreraizve kwandiri mufaro woruponeso rwenyu, uye mundipe mweya unoda, kuti undiraramise.
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Ipapo ndichadzidzisa vadariki nzira dzenyu, uye vatadzi vachatendeukira kwamuri.
Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted to thee.
14 Ndiponesei pamhosva yeropa, imi Mwari, iyemi Mwari anondiponesa, ipapo rurimi rwangu ruchaimba zvokururama kwenyu.
Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation. And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Haiwa Ishe, zarurai miromo yangu, ipapo muromo wangu uchaparidza rumbidzo yenyu.
O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 Hamufariri chibayiro, ndingadai ndakuvigirai, imi hamufariri zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 Zvibayiro zvaMwari mweya wakaputsika; mwoyo wakaputsika nowakapwanyika, imi Mwari hamuzoushori.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.
18 Pamufaro wenyu wakanaka, itai kuti Zioni ribudirire; muvake masvingo eJerusarema.
Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Ipapo pachava nezvibayiro zvakarurama, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakazara zvinokufadzai; ipapo hando dzichabayirwa paaritari yenyu.
Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.
