Masalimo 32

1 Salimo la Davide. Malangizo. Ngodala munthu amene zolakwa zake zakhululukidwa; amene machimo ake aphimbidwa.

AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

2 Ngodala munthu amene machimo ake Yehova sawawerengeranso pa iye ndipo mu mzimu mwake mulibe chinyengo.

O the blessedness of a man, To whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 Pamene ndinali chete, mafupa anga anakalamba chifukwa cha kubuwula kwanga tsiku lonse.

When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.

4 Pakuti usana ndi usiku dzanja lanu linandipsinja; mphamvu zanga zinatha monga nthawi yotentha yachilimwe. (Sela)

When by day and by night Your hand is heavy on me, My moisture has been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)

5 Kotero ine ndinavomereza tchimo langa kwa Inu, sindinabise mphulupulu zanga. Ndinati, “Ine ndidzawulula zolakwa zanga kwa Yehova, ndipo Inu munandikhululukira mlandu wa machimo anga.” (Sela)

I cause You to know my sin, And I have not covered my iniquity. I have said, “I confess to YHWH concerning My transgressions,” And You have taken away the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Choncho aliyense okhulupirika apemphere kwa Inuyo pomwe mukupezeka; ndithu pamene madzi amphamvu auka, sadzamupeza.

For every saintly one prays this to You, In the time to find [You]. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, They do not come to him.

7 Inu ndi malo anga obisala; muzinditeteza ku mavuto ndipo muzindizinga ndi nyimbo zachipulumutso. (Sela)

You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Ndidzakulangiza ndi kukuphunzitsa njira imene udzayendamo; ndidzakupatsa uphungu ndi kukuyangʼanira.

I cause you to act wisely, And direct you in the way that you go, I cause My eye to take counsel concerning you.

9 Usakhale ngati kavalo kapena bulu, zimene zilibe nzeru, koma ziyenera kuwongoleredwa ndi zitsulo za mʼkamwa ndi pamutu, ukapanda kutero sizibwera kwa iwe.

Do not be as a horse—as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near to you.

10 Zowawa ndi zambiri za anthu oyipa koma chikondi chosatha cha Yehova chimamuzinga munthu amene amadalira Iye.

Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, Kindness surrounds him.

11 Kondwerani mwa Yehova inu olungama; imbani, inu nonse amene muli owongoka mtima!

Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
