A Psalm of David, Maschil.
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Heri aliyesamehewa dhambi, Na kusitiriwa makosa yake.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no guile.
Heri Bwana asiyemhesabia upotovu, Ambaye rohoni mwake hamna hila.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old
Through my roaring all the day long.
Niliponyamaza mifupa yangu ilichakaa Kwa kuugua kwangu mchana kutwa.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:
My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
Kwa maana mchana na usiku Mkono wako ulinilemea. Jasho langu likakauka hata nikawa Kama nchi kavu wakati wa kaskazi.
5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
And mine iniquity have I not hid.
I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
Nalikujulisha dhambi yangu, Wala sikuuficha upotovu wangu. Nalisema, Nitayakiri maasi yangu kwa Bwana, Nawe ukanisamehe upotovu wa dhambi yangu.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:
Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
Kwa hiyo kila mtu mtauwa Akuombe wakati unapopatikana. Hakika maji makuu yafurikapo, Hayatamfikia yeye.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Ndiwe sitara yangu, utanihifadhi na mateso, Utanizungusha nyimbo za wokovu.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Nitakufundisha na kukuonyesha njia utakayoiendea; Nitakushauri, jicho langu likikutazama.
9 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 unto thee.
Msiwe kama farasi wala nyumbu, Walio hawana akili. Kwa matandiko ya lijamu na hatamu Sharti kuwazuia hao, au hawatakukaribia.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
But he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
Naye mtu mwovu ana mapigo mengi, Bali amtumainiye Bwana fadhili zitamzunguka.
11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Mfurahieni Bwana; Shangilieni, enyi wenye haki Pigeni vigelegele vya furaha; Ninyi nyote mlio wanyofu wa moyo.
