< Psalms 41 >

1 Blessed is he who considers a poor man. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Heri mtu yule anayemjali mnyonge, Bwana atamwokoa wakati wa shida.
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth. And thou do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Bwana atamlinda na kuyahifadhi maisha yake, atambariki katika nchi na hatamwacha katika tamaa ya adui zake.
3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.
Bwana atamtegemeza awapo mgonjwa kitandani, atamwinua kutoka kitandani mwake.
4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
Nilisema, “Ee Bwana nihurumie, niponye, maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?
Adui zangu wanasema kwa hila, “Lini atakufa, na jina lake litokomee kabisa.”
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
Kila anapokuja mtu kunitazama, huzungumza uongo, huku moyo wake hukusanya masingizio; kisha huondoka na kuyasambaza huku na huko.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt.
Adui zangu wote hunongʼonezana dhidi yangu, hao huniwazia mabaya sana, wakisema,
8 An evil disease, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
“Ugonjwa mbaya sana umempata, kamwe hatainuka tena kitandani mwake.”
9 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Hata rafiki yangu wa karibu niliyemwamini, yule aliyekula chakula changu ameniinulia kisigino chake.
10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, nihurumie, ukaniinue tena, ili niweze kuwalipiza kisasi.
11 By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Najua kwamba wapendezwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hanishindi.
12 And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.
Katika uadilifu wangu unanitegemeza na kuniweka kwenye uwepo wako milele.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.
Msifuni Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele.
