< Psalms 32 >

1 Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
罪惡蒙赦免,過犯得遮掩的人,有福的。
2 Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
上主不歸咎,心中無詐欺的人是有福的。
3 When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
就在我緘默不語的時期內,我的骸因常傷歎而疲衰;
4 Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
因為你的手晝夜在重壓著我,我的力量像在盛暑中而消耗。(休止)
5 [Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
我終於向你承認我的罪過,絲毫也沒有隱瞞我的邪惡,我說:「我要向上主承認我的罪孽,」你立刻便寬赦了我的罪債。(休止)
6 Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
為此虔敬的人在困厄時,都應向你哀禱,縱使大水氾濫成災,他也不會遭受波濤。
7 You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
你是我的避難所,救我脫離災禍,你以拯救我的喜樂,常環繞著我。(休止)
8 [Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
我教導你,指示你應走的正道,雙眼注視你,親自作你的嚮導。
9 Do not be stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
不要像騾馬一般糊塗,需要韁轡來加以管束;不然,不向你眼前趨赴。
10 Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
邪惡的人必要受許多的痛苦;仰望上主的人,必有慈愛圍護,
11 [So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
正義的人們!你們應在上主內歡欣喜樂。 心正的人們!你們應在上主內歡呼踴躍。
