Psalms 41
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Heri mtu yule anayemjali mnyonge, Bwana atamwokoa wakati wa shida.
2 May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.
Bwana atamlinda na kuyahifadhi maisha yake, atambariki katika nchi na hatamwacha katika tamaa ya adui zake.
3 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
Bwana atamtegemeza awapo mgonjwa kitandani, atamwinua kutoka kitandani mwake.
4 I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”
Nilisema, “Ee Bwana nihurumie, niponye, maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?
Adui zangu wanasema kwa hila, “Lini atakufa, na jina lake litokomee kabisa.”
6 And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.
Kila anapokuja mtu kunitazama, huzungumza uongo, huku moyo wake hukusanya masingizio; kisha huondoka na kuyasambaza huku na huko.
7 All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.
Adui zangu wote hunongʼonezana dhidi yangu, hao huniwazia mabaya sana, wakisema,
8 They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?
“Ugonjwa mbaya sana umempata, kamwe hatainuka tena kitandani mwake.”
9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
Hata rafiki yangu wa karibu niliyemwamini, yule aliyekula chakula changu ameniinulia kisigino chake.
10 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, nihurumie, ukaniinue tena, ili niweze kuwalipiza kisasi.
11 By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.
Najua kwamba wapendezwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hanishindi.
12 But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.
Katika uadilifu wangu unanitegemeza na kuniweka kwenye uwepo wako milele.
13 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
Msifuni Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele.
