Zabbuli 32
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa oyo asonyiyiddwa ebyonoono bye ekibi ne kiggyibwawo.
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 Alina omukisa omuntu oyo Mukama gw’atakyabalira kibi kye, ne mu mutima gwe nga temuli bukuusa.
Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
3 Bwe nasirikiranga ekibi kyange, ne nkogga, kubanga nasindanga olunaku lwonna.
When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
4 Wambonerezanga emisana n’ekiro, amaanyi ne ganzigwamu ng’amazzi bwe gakalira mu kyeya.
Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
5 Awo ne nkwatulira ekibi kyange, ne sibikkirira kwonoona kwange. Ne njogera nti, “Leka neenenyeze Mukama ebibi byange.” Bw’otyo n’onsonyiwa, n’onziggyako omusango gw’ebibi byange.
[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.
6 Noolwekyo abaweereza bo bonna abeesigwa bakwegayirire ng’okyalabika; oluvannyuma ebizibu bwe birijja, ng’amazzi ag’amaanyi amangi tebiribatuukako.
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.
7 Oli kifo kyange mwe nneekweka, ononkuumanga ne situukwako kabi era ononneetooloozanga ennyimba ez’obulokozi.
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].
8 Nnaakulagiranga era ne nkuyigiriza ekkubo mw’onootambuliranga; nnaakuwanga amagezi nga bwe nkulabirira.
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
9 Temubeeranga ng’embalaasi oba ennyumbu ezitategeera, ze bateekwa okussa ekyuma mu kamwa ekisibwa ku lukoba, ziryoke zifugibwe zijje gy’oli.
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.”
10 Ababi balaba ennaku nnyingi; naye abeesiga Mukama bakuumirwa mu kwagala kwe okutaggwaawo.
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.
11 Musanyukire mu Mukama era mujaguze mmwe abatuukirivu, era muyimbire waggulu n’essanyu mmwe abalina omutima omulongoofu.
[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!
