Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
[A Psalm] of David, Maschil. 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 to 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 became old through my roaring 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 is turned into the drouth 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 to thee, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD; 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 to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to him.
7 Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
Thou [art] my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about 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 in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide 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 as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near to thee.
10 Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall encompass him.
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 righteous: and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.
