< Psalms 32 >
1 [By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Funzo. Heri mtu yule ambaye amesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimefunikwa.
2 Happy is the one to whom the LORD does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Heri mtu yule ambaye Bwana hamhesabii dhambi, na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
Niliponyamaza, mifupa yangu ilichakaa kwa kulia kwa maumivu makali mchana kutwa.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me to my destruction in the heat of summer. (Selah)
Usiku na mchana mkono wako ulinilemea, nguvu zangu zilinyonywa kama vile katika joto la kiangazi.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
Kisha nilikujulisha dhambi yangu wala sikuficha uovu wangu. Nilisema, “Nitaungama makosa yangu kwa Bwana.” Ndipo uliponisamehe hatia ya dhambi yangu.
6 For this, let everyone who is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
Kwa hiyo kila mtu mcha Mungu akuombe wakati unapopatikana, hakika maji makuu yatakapofurika hayatamfikia yeye.
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Wewe ndiwe mahali pangu pa kujificha, utaniepusha na taabu na kunizunguka kwa nyimbo za wokovu.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
Nitakufundisha na kukuonyesha njia utakayoiendea; nitakushauri na kukuangalia.
9 Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
Usiwe kama farasi au nyumbu wasio na akili, ambao ni lazima waongozwe kwa lijamu na hatamu la sivyo hawatakukaribia.
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.
Mtu mwovu ana taabu nyingi, bali upendo usio na kikomo wa Bwana unamzunguka mtu anayemtumaini.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Shangilieni katika Bwana na mfurahi, enyi wenye haki! Imbeni, nyote mlio wanyofu wa moyo!
