Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
A psalm of David. How happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye Yahwe hamuhesabii hatia na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
How happy are those whose sins the Lord does not count against them, those who do not act deceptively.
3 Nilipokaa kimya, mifupa yangu ilidhohofika huku nikiugua muda wote.
When I kept quiet, my body fell apart as I groaned in distress all day long.
4 Mchana na usiku mkono wako ulinielemea. nguvu zangu zilikauka wakati wa kiangazi. (Selah)
You beat me day and night, my strength dried up as in the heat 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)
Then I confessed my sins to you. I did not hide the wrongs I had done. I said to myself, “I will confess my disobedience to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sins. (Selah)
6 Kwa sababu ya haya, wale wote ambao ni wa kimungu wanapaswa kukuomba wakati wa shida kubwa. Nayo mafuriko yajapo, hayatawapata watu hao.
Therefore let all who are faithful pray to you while there's time, so when trouble comes in like a flood it will not overwhelm them.
7 Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
For you are my refuge, you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of salvation. (Selah)
8 Nitakuelekeza na kukufundisha katika njia upasayo kuiendea. Nitakuelekeza huku macho yangu yakikutazama.
“I will instruct you, teaching you the way to follow. I will advise you, watching out for you.
9 Msiwe kama farasi au kama nyumbu, ambao hawana uelewa; ni kwa hatamu na lijamu tu unaweza kuwapeleka popote utakapo wao waende.
You mustn't be like a horse or a mule that doesn't know which way to go without a bit or a bridle. Otherwise they can't be controlled.”
10 Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
The wicked have many problems, but those who trust in the Lord will be surrounded by his never-failing love.
11 Furahini katika Yahwe, na mshangilie, ninyi wenye haki; pigeni kelele za shangwe, ninyi nyote wenye haki mioyoni mwenu.
So be happy in the Lord and celebrate, you who do good. Shout for joy, all you who live right!
