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]!
Maskil (cantique) de David. Heureux 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]!
Heureux l'homme à qui l'Éternel n'impute 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 se sont consumés, et je gémissais 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 se changeait en une sécheresse d'été. (Sélah, pause)
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 ne t'ai point caché mon iniquité. J'ai dit: Je confesserai mes transgressions à l'Éternel; et tu as ôté la peine 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 fidèle t'invoquera au temps qu'on te trouve; et quand les grandes eaux déborderaient, seul il n'en sera pas atteint.
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 ma retraite; tu me garantis de la détresse, tu m'environnes de chants de 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 te rendrai intelligent, m'a dit l'Éternel, je t'enseignerai le chemin où tu dois marcher; je te conduirai; mon œil sera 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 et comme le mulet sans intelligence, dont il faut serrer la bouche avec un mors et un frein, de peur qu'ils n'approchent 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.
Beaucoup de douleurs atteindront le méchant; mais la grâce environnera celui qui se confie en l'Éternel.
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!
Justes, réjouissez-vous en l'Éternel, et vous égayez! Chantez de joie, vous tous qui avez le cœur droit!
