Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
Of David. Instruction. Blessed is he [whose] transgression is forgiven, [whose] sin is covered!
2 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye Yahwe hamuhesabii hatia na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah reckoneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 Nilipokaa kimya, mifupa yangu ilidhohofika huku nikiugua muda wote.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old, through my groaning all the day long.
4 Mchana na usiku mkono wako ulinielemea. nguvu zangu zilikauka wakati wa kiangazi. (Selah)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture was turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
5 Ndipo nilipotambua makosa yangu kwako, nami sifichi tena uovu wangu. Nilisema, “Nitakiri makosa yangu kwa Yahwe,” nawe ulinisamehe hatia ya dhambi zangu. (Selah)
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity I covered not; I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Kwa sababu ya haya, wale wote ambao ni wa kimungu wanapaswa kukuomba wakati wa shida kubwa. Nayo mafuriko yajapo, hayatawapata watu hao.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee at a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they will not reach him.
7 Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
Thou art a hiding-place for me; thou preservest me from trouble; thou dost encompass me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Nitakuelekeza na kukufundisha katika njia upasayo kuiendea. Nitakuelekeza huku macho yangu yakikutazama.
I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel [thee] with mine eye upon thee.
9 Msiwe kama farasi au kama nyumbu, ambao hawana uelewa; ni kwa hatamu na lijamu tu unaweza kuwapeleka popote utakapo wao waende.
Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee.
10 Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
Many sorrows hath the wicked; but he that confideth in Jehovah, loving-kindness shall encompass him.
11 Furahini katika Yahwe, na mshangilie, ninyi wenye haki; pigeni kelele za shangwe, ninyi nyote wenye haki mioyoni mwenu.
Rejoice in Jehovah, and be glad, ye righteous; and shout for joy, all ye upright in heart.
