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]!
De David. Instruction. Bienheureux celui dont la transgression est pardonnée, [et] dont le péché est couvert!
2 Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
Bienheureux l’homme à qui l’Éternel ne compte pas l’iniquité, et dans l’esprit duquel il n’y a point de fraude!
3 When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
Quand je me suis tu, mes os ont dépéri, quand je rugissais tout le jour;
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].
Car jour et nuit ta main s’appesantissait sur moi; ma vigueur s’est changée en une sécheresse d’été. (Sélah)
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.
Je t’ai fait connaître mon péché, et je n’ai pas couvert mon iniquité; j’ai dit: Je confesserai mes transgressions à l’Éternel; et toi, tu as pardonné l’iniquité de mon péché. (Sélah)
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.
C’est pourquoi tout homme pieux te priera au temps où l’on te trouve; certainement, en un déluge de grandes eaux, celles-ci ne l’atteindront pas.
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].
Tu es mon asile; tu me gardes de détresse, tu m’entoures des chants de triomphe de la délivrance. (Sélah)
8 [Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
Je t’instruirai, et je t’enseignerai le chemin où tu dois marcher; je te conseillerai, ayant mon œil sur toi.
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.”
Ne soyez pas comme le cheval, comme le mulet, qui n’ont pas d’intelligence, dont l’ornement est la bride et le mors, pour les refréner quand ils ne veulent pas s’approcher de toi.
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.
Le méchant a beaucoup d’afflictions; mais [l’homme] qui se confie en l’Éternel, la bonté l’environnera.
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!
Réjouissez-vous en l’Éternel, et égayez-vous, justes! et jetez des cris de joie, vous tous qui êtes droits de cœur.
