Masalimo 32

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

Of David. A maskil. Happy those whose transgression is pardoned, whose sin is covered.

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

Happy are those, free from falseness of spirit, to whom the Lord reckons no debt of guilt.

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

When I held my peace, my bones wore away with my endless groaning;

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

for day and night did your hand lie heavy upon me. The sap of my life was dried up as with fierce summer-heat. (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 began to acknowledge my sin, not concealing my guilt; and the moment I vowed to confess to the Lord my transgression, then you yourself did pardon the guilt of my sin. (Selah)

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

For this cause let all who are faithful pray to you in the time of distress; then, when the great waters rush, they will not reach to him.

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

For you are my shelter, you protect me from trouble, and surround me with deliverance. (Selah)

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

‘With my eye steadfastly upon you, I will instruct and teach you The way you should go.

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 like the horse or the mule, that have no understanding, but need bridle and halter to curb them, else they will not come near to you.’

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

The godless have many sorrows, but those who trust in the Lord will be compassed about by his kindness.

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

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous; and ring out your joy, all you upright in heart.
