Amahubo 32

1 Ubusisiwe lowo osiphambeko sakhe sithethelelwe, osono sakhe sisitshekelwe.

[A Psalm] of David. Maschil. 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 the LORD 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 was changed [as] with 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 the LORD; 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 let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

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

Thou art my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt 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 counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

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 trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [else] they will not 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 the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

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

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