Psalms 42
1 For the end, [a Psalm] for instruction, for the sons of Core. As the hart earnestly desires the fountains of water, so my soul earnestly longs for you, O God.
Kama ayala ayatamanivyo maji ya mto. ndivyo hivyo ninakiu yako, Mungu.
2 My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Ninakiu yako Mungu, Mungu uliye hai, ni lini nitaonekana mbele zako?
3 My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is your God?
Machozi yangu yamekuwa ni chakula changu mchana na usiku, wakati maadui zangu siku zote wanasema, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
4 I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of your wondrous tabernacle, [even] to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival.
Mambo haya niayakumbuka ninapoumimina roho yangu: nilipoenda na umati wa watu na kuwaongoza kwenye nyumba ya Mungu kwa sauti ya shangwe na kusifu, ni wengi tulisherekea.
5 Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the salvation of my countenance.
Roho yangu, kwa nini unainama? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Mtumaini Mungu, Kwa kuwa kwa mara nyingine nitamsifu yeye ambaye ni wokovu wangu.
6 O my God, my soul has been troubled within me: therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Ermonites, from the little hill.
Mungu wangu, roho yangu imeinama ndani yangu, kwa hiyo ninakukumbuka toka nchi ya Yordani, toka kwenye vilele vitatu vya mlima Hermoni, na toka mlima wa Mizari.
7 Deep calls to deep at the voice of your cataracts: all your billows and your waves have gone over me.
Kina huita kina kwenye kelele za maporomoko ya maji yako; mawimbi na mafuriko yako yote yako juu yangu.
8 By day the Lord will command his mercy, and manifest [it] by night: with me [is] prayer to the God of my life.
Wakati wa mchana Yahwe ataamuru uaminifu wa agano lake; na usiku wimbo wake utakuwa nami, ombi kwa Mungu wa uhai wangu.
9 I will say to God, You are my helper; why have you forgotten me? therefore do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?
Nami nitasema kwa Mungu wangu, mwamba wangu, “Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini ninaenenda katika maombolezo kwa sababu ya ukandamizaji wa adui yangu?”
10 While my bones were breaking, they that afflicted me reproached me; while they said to me daily, Where is your God?
Kama upanga mifupani pangu, maadui zangu wananikemea, siku zote wakiniambia, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
11 Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? hope in God; for I will give thanks to him; [he is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Roho yangu, kwa nini umeinama chini? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Mtumaini Mungu kwa kuwa nitamsifu tena yeye aliye wokovu wangu na Mungu wangu.
