Psalms 32
1 [By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
2 Happy is the one to whom YHWH does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye Yahwe hamuhesabii hatia na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
Nilipokaa kimya, mifupa yangu ilidhohofika huku nikiugua muda wote.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me to my destruction in the heat of summer. (Selah)
Mchana na usiku mkono wako ulinielemea. nguvu zangu zilikauka wakati wa kiangazi. (Selah)
5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to YHWH," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
Ndipo nilipotambua makosa yangu kwako, nami sifichi tena uovu wangu. Nilisema, “Nitakiri makosa yangu kwa Yahwe,” nawe ulinisamehe hatia ya dhambi zangu. (Selah)
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 sababu ya haya, wale wote ambao ni wa kimungu wanapaswa kukuomba wakati wa shida kubwa. Nayo mafuriko yajapo, hayatawapata watu hao.
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
Nitakuelekeza na kukufundisha katika njia upasayo kuiendea. Nitakuelekeza huku macho yangu yakikutazama.
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.
Msiwe kama farasi au kama nyumbu, ambao hawana uelewa; ni kwa hatamu na lijamu tu unaweza kuwapeleka popote utakapo wao waende.
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in YHWH.
Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
11 Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Furahini katika Yahwe, na mshangilie, ninyi wenye haki; pigeni kelele za shangwe, ninyi nyote wenye haki mioyoni mwenu.
