Amahubo 32
1 Ubusisiwe lowo osiphambeko sakhe sithethelelwe, osono sakhe sisitshekelwe.
A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Ubusisiwe umuntu iNkosi engambaleli ububi, lokungekho inkohliso emoyeni wakhe.
Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Lapho ngathula, amathambo ami aguga ngenxa yokubhonga kwami usuku lonke.
When I remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all day long.
4 Ngoba emini lebusuku isandla sakho sasinzima phezu kwami; ubumanzi bami baguqulelwa ekomeni kwehlobo. (Sela)
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My strength withered as in summer drought. (Selah)
5 Ngakwazisa isono sami, kangifihlanga isiphambeko sami, ngathi: Ngizavuma ngeziphambeko zami eNkosini. Wena wasuthethelela icala lesono sami. (Sela)
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I no longer hid my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
6 Ngenxa yalokhu ngulowo lalowo owesaba uNkulunkulu uzakhuleka kuwe ngesikhathi ongatholwa ngaso. Isibili, esikhukhuleni samanzi amakhulu kawayikufinyelela kuye.
Because of this, all who are godly should pray to you at a time of great distress. Then when the surging waters overflow, they will not reach those people.
7 Wena uyindawo yami yokucatsha, uyangilondoloza ekuhluphekeni, ungiphahle ngamahubo okukhululwa. (Sela)
You are my hiding place; you will guard me from trouble. You will surround me with the songs of victory. (Selah)
8 Ngizakulaya ngikufundise endleleni ozahamba ngayo, ngizakweluleka, ilihlo lami libe phezu kwakho.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go. I will instruct you with my eye upon you.
9 Ungabi njengebhiza, njengembongolo engelakuqedisisa, omlomo wayo onqandwa ngomkhala langetomu, hlezi kusondele kuwe.
Do not be like a horse or like a mule, which have no understanding; it is only with bridle and bit to control them that they will go where you want them to.
10 Zinengi izinhlupheko zomubi, kodwa othembela eNkosini, umusa uzamphahla.
The wicked have many sorrows, but Yahweh's covenant faithfulness will surround the one who trusts in him.
11 Jabulani eNkosini, lithabe, balungileyo; memezani ngokuthaba, lonke baqotho enhliziyweni.
Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
