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]!
Hymne de David. O bonheur de celui dont la faute est pardonnée, et le péché remis!
2 Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
O bonheur de l'homme à qui l'Éternel n'impute point le crime, et dont le cœur est sans hypocrisie!
3 When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
Tant que je fus muet, mes os se consumaient par mes soupirs de 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 le jour et la nuit j'étais sous le poids de ta main, la sève de ma vie séchait, comme aux feux de l'été. (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'avouai mon péché, et ne cachai point mon crime; je dis: Je veux à l'Éternel confesser mon forfait! et tu pardonnas le crime de mon péché. (Pause)
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.
Aussi, que tout fidèle te prie dans le temps où l'on te trouve! Seul, au débordement des grandes eaux, 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 mon asile, tu me gardes contre l'angoisse, et tu m'entoures de chants de délivrance. (Pause)
8 [Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
Je veux t'instruire et te montrer la voie qu'il te faut suivre; je veux t'avertir, fixant mes yeux 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 le mulet stupide, qui, sans la bride et le mors du frein qui les dompte, ne t'approcheraient pas.
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.
Il y a beaucoup de douleurs pour l'impie; mais celui qui dans l'Éternel met sa confiance, est environné de sa grâce.
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, que l'Éternel excite votre joie et vos transports, et chantez, vous tous dont le cœur est droit!
