Amahubo 32
1 Ihubo likaDavida. Ubusisiwe lowo oziphambeko zakhe zithethelelwe, ozono zakhe zisibekelwe.
Of David. Maschil. Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.
2 Ubusisiwe lowo ongasoze abalelwe isono sakhe nguThixo, njalo ongelankohliso emoyeni wakhe.
Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Ngathi lapho ngithule, amathambo ami ababuthakathaka ngenxa yokububula kwami ilanga lonke.
When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day.
4 Ngoba imini lobusuku isandla Sakho sasingelekile, singisinda; amandla ami aphela kwafana lesikhudumezi sehlobo.
For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. (Selah)
5 Lapho-ke ngasengisivuma isono sami Kuwe angabe ngisasibekela ububi bami. Ngathi, “Ngizazivuma iziphambeko zami kuThixo,” walithethelela icala lesono sami.
I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah)
6 Ngakho akuthi wonke umuntu othembekileyo akhuleke kuwe usatholakala; ngeqiniso kuzakuthi lapho impophoma seziqubuka, kabayi kumfinyelela.
For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.
7 Uyindawo yami yokuphephela; uzangivikela enkathazweni ungizungeze ngezingoma zensindiso.
You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah)
8 Ngizakutshengisa ngikufundise indlela ofanele uhambe ngayo; ngizakweluleka ngikulinde.
I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.
9 Ungabi njengebhiza loba imbongolo, khona akulakuzwisisa kodwa kumele kukhokhelwa ngamatomu ukuze umuntu kumlalele.
Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...
10 Zinengi izikhalazo zababi, kodwa uthando lukaThixo olungaphuthiyo luyamzungeza umuntu othemba kuye.
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.
11 Thokozani kuThixo, lithabe lina balungileyo; hlabelelani lonke lina eliqotho enhliziyweni!
Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.
