Pagtuad sang Sala kag Pagpangayo sang Patawad sa Dios

32 Bulahan ang tawo nga ang iya mga paglapas ginpatawad,
nga ang iya mga sala wala na ginadumdom sang Dios.
Bulahan ang tawo nga ang iya mga sala indi na pag-isipon sang Ginoo kontra sa iya
kag wala sing sala nga natago sa iya tagipusuon.

Sang wala ko pa matuad ang akon mga sala, nagapalangluya ako,
daw sa nagakamudmod ang akon mga tul-an,
tungod sang akon pag-ugayong sa bilog nga adlaw.
Kay adlaw-gab-i ginasilutan mo ako;
nawad-an na ako sang kusog,
pareho nga nabulad ako sa init sa tingadlaw.
Dayon gintuad ko ang akon mga sala sa imo;
wala ko ini gintago.
Desidido ako sa pagtuad sang akon mga sala sa imo,
kag ginpatawad mo ako.

Gani ang tanan nga matutom dapat magpangamuyo sa imo sa tion sang kalisod,[a]
agod nga kon mag-abot ang kalisod nga daw sa baha, indi sila maano.
Ikaw ang akon palanaguan;
tipigan mo ako sa tion sang kalisod,
kag palibutan mo ako sang mga tawo nga nagahinugyaw sa kalipay
tungod sang imo pagluwas sa akon.

Nagsiling ka sa akon,
“Tudluan ko ikaw sang dalan nga dapat mo pagaagyan.
Laygayan ko ikaw samtang nagabantay ako sa imo.
Indi ka magpareho sa kabayo ukon mula nga wala sing pag-intiendi,
nga kinahanglan pa anay nga busalan kag rendahan agod magtuman.”
10 Madamo ang mga kalisod sang mga malaot,
pero ang nagasalig sa Ginoo higugmaon gid niya.
11 Gani kamo nga mga matarong,
magkalipay kamo sa Ginoo!
Kamo nga nagakabuhi sing husto,
maghinugyaw kamo sa kalipay!

The Joy of Forgiveness

A Psalm of David. A [a]Contemplation.

32 Blessed is he whose (A)transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord (B)does not [b]impute iniquity,
And (C)in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
For day and night Your (D)hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
(E)I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

(F)For this cause everyone who is godly shall (G)pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
(H)You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with (I)songs of deliverance. Selah

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
Do not be like the (J)horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.

10 (K)Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But (L)he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
11 (M)Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Psalm 32[a]

The Joy of Being Forgiven

Of David. A maskil.[b]

[c]Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven,
    whose sin is erased.
Blessed is the one to whom the Lord charges no guilt
    and in whose spirit there is no guile.
As long as I remained silent,[d]
    my body wasted away
    as the result of my groaning throughout the day.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength withered steadily
    as though consumed by the summer heat.[e] Selah
Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I made no attempt to conceal my guilt.
I said, “I will confess my offenses[f] to the Lord,”
    and you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah
Therefore, let everyone who is faithful pray to you
    where you may be found.[g]
Even if great floods threaten,
    they will never reach him.
You are a place of refuge for me;
    you preserve me from trouble
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.[h] Selah
I will instruct you
    and guide you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you
    and keep my eyes upon you.
Do not behave without understanding
    like a horse or a mule;
if its temper is not curbed with bit and bridle,
    it will not come near you.
10 The wicked has a multitude of troubles,
    but the man who trusts in the Lord
    is surrounded by kindness.[i]
11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
    shout for joy, all you upright of heart.[j]

  1. Psalm 32:1 This is the second of the seven Penitential Psalms (6; 32; 38; 51; 102; 130; 143), a joyous testimony of gratitude for God’s gift of forgiveness for those who confess their sins and follow the law of God. Instead of constantly pondering their sins, believers acknowledge their wretchedness before God and accept forgiveness and reconciliation. Their torment ceases, and a new person is born, overwhelmed by grace, confidence, and a sense of obedience.
    In praying this psalm, we can focus not only on the happiness resulting from the forgiveness of particular sin but also on the more profound happiness obtained by the complete victory given us by God in Christ over sin under all its forms.
