Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to thee; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, ninakuita wewe, uje kwangu hima. Sikia sauti yangu ninapokuita.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
Maombi yangu na yafike mbele zako kama uvumba; kuinua mikono yangu juu na kuwe kama dhabihu ya jioni.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
Ee Bwana, weka mlinzi kinywani mwangu, weka ulinzi mlangoni mwa midomo yangu.
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
Usiuache moyo wangu uvutwe katika jambo baya, nisije nikashiriki katika matendo maovu pamoja na watu watendao mabaya, wala nisije nikala vyakula vyao vya anasa.
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
Mtu mwenye haki na anipige: ni jambo la huruma; na anikemee: ni mafuta kichwani mwangu. Kichwa changu hakitalikataa. Hata hivyo, maombi yangu daima ni kinyume cha watenda mabaya,
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
watawala wao watatupwa chini kutoka kwenye majabali, waovu watajifunza kwamba maneno yangu yalikuwa kweli.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Watasema, “Kama mtu anavyolima na kuvunja ardhi, ndivyo mifupa yetu imetawanywa kwenye mlango wa kaburi.” (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
Lakini nimekaza macho yangu kwako, Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, ndani yako nimekimbilia, usiniache nife.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
Niepushe na mitego waliyonitegea, kutokana na mitego iliyotegwa na watenda mabaya.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
Waovu na waanguke kwenye nyavu zao wenyewe, wakati mimi ninapita salama.
