Psalms 84

1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa gitithi. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, makao yako yapendeza kama nini!

2 My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.

Nafsi yangu inatamani sana, naam, hata kuona shauku, kwa ajili ya nyua za Bwana; moyo wangu na mwili wangu vinamlilia Mungu Aliye Hai.

3 Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Hata shomoro amejipatia makao, mbayuwayu amejipatia kiota mahali awezapo kuweka makinda yake: mahali karibu na madhabahu yako, Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. (Pause)

Heri wale wanaokaa nyumbani mwako, wanaokusifu wewe daima.

5 Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up

Heri wale ambao nguvu zao ziko kwako, na njia ziendazo Sayuni zimo mioyoni mwao.

6 the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.

Wanapopita katika Bonde la Baka, hulifanya mahali pa chemchemi, pia mvua za vuli hulijaza kwa madimbwi.

7 They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

Huendelea toka nguvu hadi nguvu, hadi kila mmoja afikapo mbele za Mungu huko Sayuni.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. (Pause)

Ee Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, sikia maombi yangu; nisikilize, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo.

9 Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.

Ee Mungu, uitazame ngao yetu, mtazame kwa wema mpakwa mafuta wako.

10 For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

Siku moja katika nyua zako ni bora kuliko siku elfu mahali pengine; afadhali ningekuwa bawabu katika nyumba ya Mungu wangu kuliko kukaa katika mahema ya waovu.

11 For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

Kwa kuwa Bwana ni jua na ngao, Bwana hutoa wema na heshima; hakuna kitu chema anachowanyima wale ambao hawana hatia.

12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.

Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, heri ni mtu yule anayekutumaini wewe.
