Psalms 32

1 Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.

Ubusisiwe lowo osiphambeko sakhe sithethelelwe, osono sakhe sisitshekelwe.

2 Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engambaleli ububi, lokungekho inkohliso emoyeni wakhe.

3 When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.

Lapho ngathula, amathambo ami aguga ngenxa yokubhonga kwami usuku lonke.

4 For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah)

Ngoba emini lebusuku isandla sakho sasinzima phezu kwami; ubumanzi bami baguqulelwa ekomeni kwehlobo. (Sela)

5 I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah)

Ngakwazisa isono sami, kangifihlanga isiphambeko sami, ngathi: Ngizavuma ngeziphambeko zami eNkosini. Wena wasuthethelela icala lesono sami. (Sela)

6 For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.

Ngenxa yalokhu ngulowo lalowo owesaba uNkulunkulu uzakhuleka kuwe ngesikhathi ongatholwa ngaso. Isibili, esikhukhuleni samanzi amakhulu kawayikufinyelela kuye.

7 You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah)

Wena uyindawo yami yokucatsha, uyangilondoloza ekuhluphekeni, ungiphahle ngamahubo okukhululwa. (Sela)

8 I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.

Ngizakulaya ngikufundise endleleni ozahamba ngayo, ngizakweluleka, ilihlo lami libe phezu kwakho.

9 Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...

Ungabi njengebhiza, njengembongolo engelakuqedisisa, omlomo wayo onqandwa ngomkhala langetomu, hlezi kusondele kuwe.

10 The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.

Zinengi izinhlupheko zomubi, kodwa othembela eNkosini, umusa uzamphahla.

11 Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.

Jabulani eNkosini, lithabe, balungileyo; memezani ngokuthaba, lonke baqotho enhliziyweni.
