Psalms 84
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
Ni jinsi gani maskani yako yapendeza, Ewe Yahwe wa Majeshi!
2 My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
Ninashauku ya kuingia nyumbani mwa Yahwe, nimechoka sana kwa sababu ninatamani sana kuwa nyumani mwako. Moyo wangu na mwili wangu wote wakuita wewe Mungu uliye hai.
3 For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
Hata Shomoro naye amepata nyumba yake na mbayuwayu amejipatia kiota kwa ajili yake mwenyewe mahali awezapo aweza kuweka makinda yake karibu na madhabahu yako, Ee Yahwe wa majeshi, Mfalme wangu, na Mungu wangu.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.
Wamebarikiwa wale ambao huishi katika nyumba yako; nao hukusifu wewe siku zote. (Selah)
5 Blessed is the man whose help is from you. In his heart, he is disposed to ascend
Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye nguvu zake ziko katika wewe, katika moyo wake mna njia kuu ziendazo mpaka Sayuni.
6 from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.
Wanapopita katika bonde la machozi, hupata chemchem ya maji kwa ajili ya kunywa. Mvua ya vuli hulivika baraka.
7 For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen in Zion.
Huendelea toka nguvu hadi nguvu; kila mmoja wao katika sayuni huonekana mbele ya Mungu.
8 O Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.
Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, sikia maombi yangu; Mungu wa Yakobo, usikilize nisemacho! (Selah)
9 O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.
Ee Mungu, uiangalie ngao yetu; uwaangalie wapakwa mafuta wako.
10 For one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
Kwa maana siku moja katika nyumba yako ni bora kuliko siku elfu mahali pengine. Ni bora niwe mlinzi wa mlango katika nyumba ya Mungu wangu, kuliko kuishi katika mahema ya waovu.
11 For God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.
Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu ni jua letu na ngao yetu; Yahwe atatoa neema na utukufu; hazuii zuri lolote kwa wale ambao hutembea katika uadilifu.
12 He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
Yahwe wa majeshi, amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye kutumainia wewe.
