Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
“Of David: a Maskil.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye Yahwe hamuhesabii hatia na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.
Happy is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth 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 wasted away through my crying all the day.
4 Mchana na usiku mkono wako ulinielemea. nguvu zangu zilikauka wakati wa kiangazi. (Selah)
For by day and night lay thy hand heavily upon me: my [life's] moisture hath been changed through the droughts 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)
My sin do I ever acknowledge unto thee, and my iniquity have I not covered up. I said, I will make confession because of my transgressions unto the Lord: and thou truly 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 pious one pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely [then] when great waters overflow, they shall never reach unto him.
7 Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
Thou art my hiding-place; from distress wilt thou preserve me; with songs of deliverance wilt thou encompass me. (Selah)
8 Nitakuelekeza na kukufundisha katika njia upasayo kuiendea. Nitakuelekeza huku macho yangu yakikutazama.
I will instruct thee and I will teach thee concerning the way which thou oughtest to go: I will counsel thee with my eye.
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 like the horse, or like the mule, who hath no understanding; who must be held in with bit and bridle, his ornament, lest he come near unto thee.
10 Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
Many are the pains of the wicked; but him that trusteth in the Lord will he encompass with kindness.
11 Furahini katika Yahwe, na mshangilie, ninyi wenye haki; pigeni kelele za shangwe, ninyi nyote wenye haki mioyoni mwenu.
Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
