Psalms 4
1 For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
Unijibu nikuitapo, Mungu wa haki yangu; uniokoe niwapo katika hatari. Unihurumie na usikie maombi yangu.
2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Ninyi watu, mpaka lini mtaiabisha heshima yangu? Mpaka lini mtaendelea kupenda kile kisicho stahili na kutafuta uongo?
3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
Lakini mjue ya kuwa Yahweh huchagua watu wa kimungu kwa ajili yake. Nitakapo mwita Yahwe atasikia.
4 Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
Tetemekeni na kuogopa, lakini msitende dhambi! Tafakarini mioyoni mwenu kwenye vitanda vyenu na muwe kimya.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Toeni matoleo ya haki na muweke imani yenu katika Yahweh.
6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
Wengi husema, “Ni nani atakaye tuonyesha chochote kilicho kizuri?” Yahweh, utuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
Umeupa moyo wangu furaha kuu kuliko wao wanapozidishiwa nafaka na divai mpaya.
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
Ni amani kuwa nitajilaza na kusinzia, kwako pekee, Yahweh, nifanye kuwa salama kabisa.
