Psalms 32

1 Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

1 Heri mtu yule ambaye amesamehewa makosa yake, ambaye dhambi zake zimefunikwa.

2 Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

2 Heri mtu yule ambaye Bwana hamhesabii dhambi, na ambaye rohoni mwake hamna udanganyifu.

3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

3 Niliponyamaza, mifupa yangu ilichakaa kwa kulia kwa maumivu makali mchana kutwa.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

4 Usiku na mchana mkono wako ulinilemea, nguvu zangu zilinyonywa kama vile katika joto la kiangazi.

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

5 Kisha nilikujulisha dhambi yangu wala sikuficha uovu wangu. Nilisema, “Nitaungama makosa yangu kwa Bwana.” Ndipo uliponisamehe hatia ya dhambi yangu.

6 Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.

6 Kwa hiyo kila mtu mcha Mungu akuombe wakati unapopatikana, hakika maji makuu yatakapofurika hayatamfikia yeye.

7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

7 Wewe ndiwe mahali pangu pa kujificha, utaniepusha na taabu na kunizunguka kwa nyimbo za wokovu.

8 I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

8 Nitakufundisha na kukuonyesha njia utakayoiendea; nitakushauri na kukuangalia.

9 Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.

9 Usiwe kama farasi au nyumbu wasio na akili, ambao ni lazima waongozwe kwa lijamu na hatamu la sivyo hawatakukaribia.

10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

10 Mtu mwovu ana taabu nyingi, bali upendo usio na kikomo wa Bwana unamzunguka mtu anayemtumaini.

11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

11 Shangilieni katika Bwana na mfurahi, enyi wenye haki! Imbeni, nyote mlio wanyofu wa moyo!
