Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me, far from helping me, and the words of my groaning?
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa utenzi wa “Kulungu wa Alfajiri.” Zaburi ya Daudi. Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha? Kwa nini uko mbali hivyo kuniokoa? Mbali hivyo na maneno ya kuugua kwangu?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not, and in the night season, and I am not silent.
Ee Mungu wangu, ninalia mchana, lakini hunijibu, hata usiku, sinyamazi.
3 But thou are holy, O thou who inhabit the praises of Israel.
Hata hivyo umesimikwa katika kiti cha enzi kama Uliye Mtakatifu; wewe ni sifa ya Israeli.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee. They trusted, and thou delivered them.
Kwako wewe baba zetu waliweka tumaini lao, walikutumaini nawe ukawaokoa.
5 They cried to thee, and were delivered. They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
Walikulilia wewe na ukawaokoa, walikutegemea wewe nao hawakuaibika.
6 But I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
Mimi ni mnyoo wala si mwanadamu, wanaume wamenibeza, na watu wamenidharau.
7 All those who see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip. They shake the head, saying,
Wote wanionao hunidhihaki, hunivurumishia matusi, wakitikisa vichwa vyao:
8 He trusted on Jehovah. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.
Husema, “Anamtegemea Bwana, basi Bwana na amwokoe. Amkomboe basi, kwa maana anapendezwa naye.”
9 But thou are he who took me out of the womb. Thou made me trust upon my mother's breasts.
Hata hivyo ulinitoa tumboni, ukanifanya nikutegemee, hata nilipokuwa ninanyonya matiti ya mama yangu.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb. Thou are my God since my mother bore me.
Nimekabidhiwa kwako tangu kuzaliwa, toka tumboni mwa mama yangu umekuwa Mungu wangu.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.
Usiwe mbali nami, kwa maana shida iko karibu na hakuna wa kunisaidia.
12 Many bulls have encompassed me. Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me around.
Mafahali wengi wamenizunguka, mafahali wa Bashani wenye nguvu wamenizingira.
13 They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
Simba wangurumao wanaorarua mawindo yao hupanua vinywa vyao dhidi yangu.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.
Nimemiminwa kama maji, mifupa yangu yote imetoka katika viungo vyake. Moyo wangu umegeuka kuwa nta, umeyeyuka ndani yangu.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death.
Nguvu zangu zimekauka kama kigae, ulimi wangu umegandamana na kaakaa la kinywa changu, kwa sababu umenilaza katika mavumbi ya kifo.
16 For dogs have encompassed me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet.
Mbwa wamenizunguka, kundi la watu waovu limenizingira, wametoboa mikono yangu na miguu yangu.
17 I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me.
Naweza kuhesabu mifupa yangu yote, watu wananikodolea macho na kunisimanga.
18 They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast a lot.
Wanagawana nguo zangu wao kwa wao, na vazi langu wanalipigia kura.
19 But be thou not far off, O Jehovah. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, usiwe mbali. Ee Nguvu yangu, uje haraka unisaidie.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog.
Okoa maisha yangu na upanga, uhai wangu wa thamani kutoka nguvu za mbwa.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth, yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen. Thou have answered me.
Niokoe kutoka kinywani mwa simba, niokoe kutoka pembe za mafahali mwitu.
22 I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.
Nitalitangaza jina lako kwa ndugu zangu, katika kusanyiko nitakusifu wewe.
23 Ye who fear Jehovah, praise him. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Ninyi ambao mnamcha Bwana, msifuni! Ninyi nyote wazao wote wa Yakobo, mheshimuni yeye! Mcheni yeye, ninyi wazao wote wa Israeli!
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard.
Kwa maana hakupuuza wala kudharau mateso ya aliyeonewa; hakumficha uso wake bali alisikiliza kilio chake ili amsaidie.
25 From thee comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
Kwako wewe hutoka kiini cha sifa zangu katika kusanyiko kubwa, nitatimiza nadhiri zangu mbele ya wale wakuchao wewe.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Jehovah who seek after him. Let your heart live forever.
Maskini watakula na kushiba, wale wamtafutao Bwana watamsifu: mioyo yenu na iishi milele!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee.
Miisho yote ya dunia itakumbuka na kumgeukia Bwana, nazo jamaa zote za mataifa watasujudu mbele zake,
28 For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he is the ruler over the nations.
kwa maana ufalme ni wa Bwana naye hutawala juu ya mataifa.
29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.
Matajiri wote wa dunia watasherehekea na kuabudu. Wote waendao mavumbini watapiga magoti mbele yake, wote ambao hawawezi kudumisha uhai wao.
30 A seed shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the next generation.
Wazao wa baadaye watamtumikia yeye; vizazi vijavyo vitajulishwa habari za Bwana.
31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done it.
Watatangaza haki yake kwa watu ambao hawajazaliwa bado, kwa maana yeye ametenda hili.
