Zaburi 32
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Zaburi. Amebarikiwa mtu yule aliyesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimesitiriwa.
[By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those 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 one to whom Jehovah does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Nilipokaa kimya, mifupa yangu ilidhohofika huku nikiugua muda wote.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
4 Mchana na usiku mkono wako ulinielemea. nguvu zangu zilikauka wakati wa kiangazi. (Selah)
For day and night your hand was heavy on me to my destruction 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)
I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah," and you forgave 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, let everyone who is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7 Wewe u mahali pangu pa kujifichia, nawe utanilinda matatizoni. Wewe utanizunguka pamoja na nyimbo zaushindi. (Selah)
You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Nitakuelekeza na kukufundisha katika njia upasayo kuiendea. Nitakuelekeza huku macho yangu yakikutazama.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9 Msiwe kama farasi au kama nyumbu, ambao hawana uelewa; ni kwa hatamu na lijamu tu unaweza kuwapeleka popote utakapo wao waende.
Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10 Waovu wanahuzuni nyingi, bali uaminifu wa agano la Yahwe utamzunguka yule anaye mwamini yeye.
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Jehovah.
11 Furahini katika Yahwe, na mshangilie, ninyi wenye haki; pigeni kelele za shangwe, ninyi nyote wenye haki mioyoni mwenu.
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
