Salamo 32

1 Nataon’ i Davida. Maskila.

[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

2 Sambatra ny olona izay tsy isain’ i Jehovah heloka, ary tsy misy fitaka ny fanahiny.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.

3 Raha nangina aho, dia nihalany ny taolako rehetra, noho ny fitarainako mandrakariva,

Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.

4 Fa efa navesatra tamiko andro aman’ alina ny tananao; niova ny fahatanjahako toy ny azon’ ny fahamainana amin’ ny lohataona. (Sela)

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)

5 Ny fahotako nambarako taminao, ary ny heloko tsy mba nafeniko. Hoy izaho: hiaiky ny fahadisoako amin’ i Jehovah aho; ary Hianao dia namela ny heloky ny fahotako. (Sela)

I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)

6 Izany no aoka hivavahan’ ny tsara tsara fanahy rehetra aminao amin’ izay andro hahitana Anao; eny tokoa, na dia tondraka aza ny rano be, tsy hahatratra azy izany.

Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.

7 Hianao no fiereko, miaro ahy tsy ho azon’ ny fahoriana Hianao; fihobiam-pamonjena no ahodidinao ahy. (Sela)

You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)

8 Hanome saina anao sy hampianatra anao izay lalan-kalehanao Aho; hitsinjo anao ny masoko ka hanolo-tsaina anao Aho.

I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.

9 Aza manahaka ny soavaly na ny ampondra tsy manan-tsaina; vy sy lamboridy no haingo hihazonana azy, fa tsy mety manakaiky anao izy.

Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.

10 Be ny fanaintainan’ ny ratsy fanahy, fa izay matoky an’ i Jehovah kosa dia ho hodidinin’ ny famindram-po.

Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.

11 Mifalia amin’ i Jehovah, ary ravoravoa, ianareo olo-marina, ary mihobia, ianareo mahitsy fo rehetra.

Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
