Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye Yahwe hamuhesabii hatia na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Nilipokaa kimya, mifupa yangu ilidhohofika huku nikiugua muda wote.
Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out 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: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
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 have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
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 holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8 Nitakuelekeza na kukufundisha katika njia upasayo kuiendea. Nitakuelekeza huku macho yangu yakikutazama.
I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9 Msiwe kama farasi au kama nyumbu, ambao hawana uelewa; ni kwa hatamu na lijamu tu unaweza kuwapeleka popote utakapo wao waende.
Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10 Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11 Furahini katika Yahwe, na mshangilie, ninyi wenye haki; pigeni kelele za shangwe, ninyi nyote wenye haki mioyoni mwenu.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
