Pesalema 51

Thapelo ya moetsadibe ya bakileng

1Pesalema e qapetsweng motsamaisi wa dibini. Ke ya Davida, 2mohla moporofeta Nathane a tlileng ho yena, hoba Davida a etse bohlola le Batesheba.

3Oho, Modimo, ako nkgauhele

ka mohau wa hao,

ho ya ka boholo ba lerato la hao

ako hlakole melato ya ka.

4Ntlhatswisise bokgopo ba ka,

o ntlhwekise sebe sa ka;

5hobane ke tseba melato ya ka,

ke hopola sebe sa ka kamehla.

6Ke sitetswe wena, wena o inotshi,

ke entse bobe mahlong a hao.

Ho loka ha hao

ho tla bonahala ha o ahlola,

le ho hloka kodi ha hao

ha o diha nyewe.

7Ruri ke bile ya sa lokang

ho tloha tswalong ya ka,

ke bile moetsadibe

ho tloha popelong ya mme.

8Athe wena o thabela botshepehi,

botshepehi moyeng wa motho,

o nthuta bohlale

botebong ba pelo ya ka.

9Fedisa sebe sa ka, ke tle ke hlweke;

o ntlhatswe, ke tle ke be mosweu,

ke be mosweu ho feta lehlwa.

10Etsa hore ke utlwe mehoo ya thabo,

ke utlwe le mehoo ya nyakallo,

ditho tsa ka di tle di hlasimolohe,

ditho tseo o di robileng.

11Nteballe dibe tsa ka,

o hlakole melato ya ka kaofela.

12Oho, Modimo, ako bope ka ho nna,

o bope pelo e hlwekileng,

o kenye moya o motjha, o tiileng,

o o kenye ka sefubeng sa ka.

13O se ke wa ntelekela hole le wena,

wa nkamoha Moya wa hao,

Moya o Halalelang.

14Ako mpuseletse nyakallo,

nyakallo ya ho pholoswa ke wena,

o mmatlafatse ka moya wa boitelo.

15Ba etsang diphoso ke tla ba ruta,

ke ba rute ditsela tsa hao,

mme baetsadibe

ba tla kgutlela ho wena.

16Modimo, Modimo ya mpholosang,

ako ntopolle kahlolong ya lefu,

leme la ka le tumise

ho loka ha hao.

17Oho, Morena,

ako rarolle leleme la ka,

molomo wa ka

o phatlalatse thoriso ya hao.

18Ha o kgahlwe ke mahlabelo;

leha nka o nyehella ka setjheso,

o ke ke wa se amohela.

19Sehlabelo se ratwang ke Modimo:

ke moya o swabileng;

ke pelo e swabileng, e hlomohileng;

oho, Modimo, o ke ke wa e kgesa.

20Haeba o ka kgahlwa,

ako etsetse Sione molemo,

o tsose marako a Jerusalema.

21Ke moo o tla kgahliswa

ke mahlabelo a lokelang,

ditjheso le dinyehelo tse tjheswang;

mme ho tla nyehelwa ka dipohwana,

ho nyehelwe ka tsona aletareng ya hao.

Pesalema 51SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

One of the most comforting verses in the Bible is when God says: ‘though we stumble, we will not fall for the Lord upholds us (Psalm 37:24). It does not matter how many times we may fail or feel that ‘we have blown it’ God says: I am the One who blots out your transgressions, for My own sake, and remembers your sin no more. We pray therefore not that we shall never sin, but rather that we will leave no sin unrepented.
