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.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.
2 Shambidzai zvakaipa zvangu zvose uye mundinatse kubva pachivi changu.
Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.
3 Nokuti ndinoziva kudarika kwangu, uye chivi changu chinogara chiri pamberi pangu.
For I am conscious of my error; 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 you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.
5 Zvirokwazvo ndakanga ndiri mutadzi pandakaberekwa, ndiri mutadzi kubva pandakaumbwa mudumbu ramai vangu.
Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
6 Zvirokwazvo imi munoda chokwadi pakati pomwoyo; munondidzidzisa uchenjeri panzvimbo yomukatikati.
Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
7 Ndinatsei nehisopi, ipapo ndichachena; ndishambidzei, ipapo ndichachena sechando.
Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
8 Ndiitei kuti ndinzwe mufaro nokufarisisa; itai kuti mapfupa amakapwanya afare.
Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
9 Vanzai chiso chenyu pazvivi zvangu uye mudzime zvakaipa zvangu zvose.
Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.
10 Sikai mukati mangu mwoyo wakachena, imi Mwari, uye muvandudze mweya wakarurama mukati mangu.
Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
11 Regai kundirasa pamberi penyu kana kubvisa Mweya wenyu Mutsvene kwandiri.
Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.
12 Dzoreraizve kwandiri mufaro woruponeso rwenyu, uye mundipe mweya unoda, kuti undiraramise.
Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.
13 Ipapo ndichadzidzisa vadariki nzira dzenyu, uye vatadzi vachatendeukira kwamuri.
Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.
14 Ndiponesei pamhosva yeropa, imi Mwari, iyemi Mwari anondiponesa, ipapo rurimi rwangu ruchaimba zvokururama kwenyu.
Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.
15 Haiwa Ishe, zarurai miromo yangu, ipapo muromo wangu uchaparidza rumbidzo yenyu.
O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.
16 Hamufariri chibayiro, ndingadai ndakuvigirai, imi hamufariri zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
You have no desire for an offering or I would give it; you have no delight in burned offerings.
17 Zvibayiro zvaMwari mweya wakaputsika; mwoyo wakaputsika nowakapwanyika, imi Mwari hamuzoushori.
The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.
18 Pamufaro wenyu wakanaka, itai kuti Zioni ribudirire; muvake masvingo eJerusarema.
Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Ipapo pachava nezvibayiro zvakarurama, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakazara zvinokufadzai; ipapo hando dzichabayirwa paaritari yenyu.
Then you will have delight in the offerings of righteousness, in burned offerings and offerings of beasts; then they will make offerings of oxen on your altar.
