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 Musician. A Melody of David. When Nathan the Prophet had come to him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba. Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;
2 Shambidzai zvakaipa zvangu zvose uye mundinatse kubva pachivi changu.
Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;
3 Nokuti ndinoziva kudarika kwangu, uye chivi changu chinogara chiri pamberi pangu.
For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:
4 Ndakakutadzirai imi, iyemi moga nokuita chinhu chakaipa pamberi penyu, kuti munzi makarurama pamunotaura uye musapomerwa mhosva pakutonga kwenyu.
Against thee—against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness—in thine eyes, have I done, —That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest, —Be clear when thou judgest.
5 Zvirokwazvo ndakanga ndiri mutadzi pandakaberekwa, ndiri mutadzi kubva pandakaumbwa mudumbu ramai vangu.
Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.
6 Zvirokwazvo imi munoda chokwadi pakati pomwoyo; munondidzidzisa uchenjeri panzvimbo yomukatikati.
Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.
7 Ndinatsei nehisopi, ipapo ndichachena; ndishambidzei, ipapo ndichachena sechando.
Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?
8 Ndiitei kuti ndinzwe mufaro nokufarisisa; itai kuti mapfupa amakapwanya afare.
Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.
9 Vanzai chiso chenyu pazvivi zvangu uye mudzime zvakaipa zvangu zvose.
Hide thy face from my sins, —And, all mine iniquities, blot out;
10 Sikai mukati mangu mwoyo wakachena, imi Mwari, uye muvandudze mweya wakarurama mukati mangu.
A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.
11 Regai kundirasa pamberi penyu kana kubvisa Mweya wenyu Mutsvene kwandiri.
Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:
12 Dzoreraizve kwandiri mufaro woruponeso rwenyu, uye mundipe mweya unoda, kuti undiraramise.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me: —
13 Ipapo ndichadzidzisa vadariki nzira dzenyu, uye vatadzi vachatendeukira kwamuri.
I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.
14 Ndiponesei pamhosva yeropa, imi Mwari, iyemi Mwari anondiponesa, ipapo rurimi rwangu ruchaimba zvokururama kwenyu.
Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;
15 Haiwa Ishe, zarurai miromo yangu, ipapo muromo wangu uchaparidza rumbidzo yenyu.
O My Lord! my lips, wilt thou open, And, my mouth, shall declare thy praise.
16 Hamufariri chibayiro, ndingadai ndakuvigirai, imi hamufariri zvipiriso zvinopiswa.
For thou wilt not desire sacrifice—that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:
17 Zvibayiro zvaMwari mweya wakaputsika; mwoyo wakaputsika nowakapwanyika, imi Mwari hamuzoushori.
The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken, —A heart—broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Pamufaro wenyu wakanaka, itai kuti Zioni ribudirire; muvake masvingo eJerusarema.
Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!
19 Ipapo pachava nezvibayiro zvakarurama, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakazara zvinokufadzai; ipapo hando dzichabayirwa paaritari yenyu.
Then, shalt thou desire the sacrifices of righteousness, Ascending-sacrifice and whole burnt-offering, Then, shall ascend upon thine altar, young bulls.
