Amahubo 32

1 Ubusisiwe lowo osiphambeko sakhe sithethelelwe, osono sakhe sisitshekelwe.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 Ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engambaleli ububi, lokungekho inkohliso emoyeni wakhe.

Blessed is the man unto whom YHWH imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 Lapho ngathula, amathambo ami aguga ngenxa yokubhonga kwami usuku lonke.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4 Ngoba emini lebusuku isandla sakho sasinzima phezu kwami; ubumanzi bami baguqulelwa ekomeni kwehlobo. (Sela)

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)

5 Ngakwazisa isono sami, kangifihlanga isiphambeko sami, ngathi: Ngizavuma ngeziphambeko zami eNkosini. Wena wasuthethelela icala lesono sami. (Sela)

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto YHWH; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Ngenxa yalokhu ngulowo lalowo owesaba uNkulunkulu uzakhuleka kuwe ngesikhathi ongatholwa ngaso. Isibili, esikhukhuleni samanzi amakhulu kawayikufinyelela kuye.

For this shall every one that is righteous pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7 Wena uyindawo yami yokucatsha, uyangilondoloza ekuhluphekeni, ungiphahle ngamahubo okukhululwa. (Sela)

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Ngizakulaya ngikufundise endleleni ozahamba ngayo, ngizakweluleka, ilihlo lami libe phezu kwakho.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9 Ungabi njengebhiza, njengembongolo engelakuqedisisa, omlomo wayo onqandwa ngomkhala langetomu, hlezi kusondele kuwe.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10 Zinengi izinhlupheko zomubi, kodwa othembela eNkosini, umusa uzamphahla.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in YHWH, mercy shall compass him about.

11 Jabulani eNkosini, lithabe, balungileyo; memezani ngokuthaba, lonke baqotho enhliziyweni.

Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
