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.
Amebarikiwa mtu yule amkumbukaye mnyonge; katika siku ya taabu, Yahwe atamuokoa.
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.
Yahwe atamuhifadhi na kumuweka hai, naye atabarikiwa duniani; Yahwe hata mrudisha kwenye mapenzi ya adui zake.
3 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
Awapo kwenye kitanda cha mateso Yahwe atamsaidia; nawe utakifanya kitanda cha ugonjwa kuwa kitanda cha uponyaji.
4 I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”
Nami nilisema, “Yahwe unihurumie! Uniponye, kwa maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?
Adui zangu huongea maovu dhidi yangu, wakisema, 'Atakufa lini na jina lake lipotee?'
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.
Adui yangu ajapo kuniona, huongea mambo yasiyo na maana; moyo wake hukusanya maafa yangu kwa ajili yake mwenyewe; na aondokapo kwangu, yeye huwaambia watu wengine kuhusu hayo.
7 All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.
Wale wote wanaonichukia kwa pamoja hunon'gona dhidi yangu; nao wanafarijika kwa ajili ya maumivu yangu.
8 They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?
Wakisema, “Gonjwa baya limemshikilia yeye haswa; na sasa kuwa amelala kitandani, hatainuka kamwe.”
9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
Kweli, hata rafiki yangu wa karibu, ambae nilimuamini, aliye kula mkate wangu, ameinua kisigino chake dhidi yangu.
10 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.
Bali wewe, Yahwe, unihurumie na uniinue ili kwamba niwalipizie kisasi.
11 By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.
Na hivi nitajua kuwa unafurahishwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hatafurahia kunishinda.
12 But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.
Kwangu mimi, wewe unanisaidia katika uadilifu wangu na utaniweka mbele ya uso wako milele.
13 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asifiwe milele na milele. Amen na Amen. Kitabu ya Pili
