Zaburi 51
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Baada ya kukemewa na nabii Nathani kwa kuzini na Bathsheba. Ee Mungu, unihurumie, kwa kadiri ya upendo wako usiokoma, kwa kadiri ya huruma yako kuu, uyafute makosa yangu.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
2 Unioshe na uovu wangu wote na unitakase dhambi yangu.
Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,
3 Kwa maana ninajua makosa yangu, na dhambi yangu iko mbele yangu daima.
For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.
4 Dhidi yako, wewe peke yako, nimetenda dhambi na kufanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pako, ili uthibitike kuwa wa kweli unenapo, na kuwa na haki utoapo hukumu.
Against You, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.
5 Hakika mimi nilizaliwa mwenye dhambi, mwenye dhambi tangu nilipotungwa mimba kwa mama yangu.
Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.
6 Hakika wewe wapendezwa na kweli itokayo moyoni, ndani sana ya moyo wangu wanifundisha hekima.
Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.
7 Nioshe kwa hisopo, nami nitakuwa safi, unisafishe, nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji.
You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.
8 Unipe kusikia furaha na shangwe, mifupa uliyoiponda na ifurahi.
You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.
9 Ufiche uso wako usizitazame dhambi zangu, na uufute uovu wangu wote.
Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.
10 Ee Mungu, uniumbie moyo safi, uifanye upya roho ya uthabiti ndani yangu.
Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.
11 Usinitupe kutoka mbele zako wala kuniondolea Roho wako Mtakatifu.
Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Unirudishie tena furaha ya wokovu wako, unipe roho ya utii, ili initegemeze.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.
13 Ndipo nitakapowafundisha wakosaji njia zako, na wenye dhambi watakugeukia wewe.
I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.
14 Ee Mungu, Mungu uniokoaye, niokoe na hatia ya kumwaga damu, nao ulimi wangu utaimba juu ya haki yako.
Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.
15 Ee Bwana, fungua midomo yangu, na kinywa changu kitatangaza sifa zako.
O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.
16 Wewe hupendezwi na dhabihu, au ningaliileta, hufurahii sadaka za kuteketezwa.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.
17 Bali dhabihu za Mungu ni roho iliyovunjika, moyo uliovunjika wenye toba, Ee Mungu, hutaudharau.
The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.
18 Kwa wema wa radhi yako uifanye Sayuni istawi, ukazijenge upya kuta za Yerusalemu.
Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Hapo ndipo kutakapokuwa na dhabihu za haki, sadaka nzima za kuteketezwa za kukupendeza sana, pia mafahali watatolewa madhabahuni mwako.
Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!
