Psalms 139
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
Ee Yahwe, wewe umenichunguza, na unanijua.
2 Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off;
Wewe unajua nikaapo na niinukapo; unayajua mawazo yangu tokea mbali sana.
3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways;
Unachunguza wenendo wangu na kulala kwangu; unazijua njia zangu zote.
4 For there is not yet a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
Kabla hakujawa na neno kwenye ulimi wangu, wewe unalijua kabisa, Yahwe.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
Nyuma yangu na mbele yangu unanizunguka na kuniwekea mkono wako.
6 O knowledge too wonderful for me! it is high, I cannot [attain] unto it.
Maarifa hayo ni mengi yananizidi mimi; yako juu sana, nami siwezi kuyafikia.
7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?
Niende wapi mbali na roho yako? Niende wapi niukimbie uwepo wako?
8 If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou [art there]; (Sheol h7585)
Kama nikipaa mbinguni, uko huko; kama nikifanya kitanda changu Kuzimuni, tazama, uko huko. (Sheol h7585)
9 [If] I take the wings of the dawn [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Kama nikipaa kwa mbawa za asubuhi na kwenda kuishi pande za mwisho wa bahari,
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
hata huko mkono wako utaniongoza, mkono wako wa kuume utanishika.
11 And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
Kama nikisema, “Hakika giza litanifunika, na nuru inizungukayo itakuwa usiku,”
12 Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.
Hata giza lisingweza kuwa giza kwako. Usiku ungeng'aa kama mchana, maana giza na nuru kwako vinafanana.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.
Wewe uliumba sehemu zangu za ndani; uliniumba tumboni mwa mama yangu.
14 I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.
Nitakusifu, kwa maana nimeumbwa kwa jinsi ya ajabu. Nafsi yangu yalijua hili vizuri sana.
15 My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.
Mifupa yangu haikusitirika kwako nilipoumbwa kwa siri, nilipoumbwa kwa ustadi pande za chini za nchi.
16 Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all [my members] were written; [during many] days were they fashioned, when [as yet] there was none of them.
Uliniona ndani ya tumbo; siku zote zilizo pangwa kwangu ziliandikwa kitabuni mwako hata kabla ya siku ya kwanza kutokea.
17 But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Ni jinsi gani mawazo yako ni ya thamani kwangu, Mungu! Njinsi ilivyo kubwa jumla zake!
18 [If] I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
Kama nikijaribu kuyahesabu ni mengi kuliko mchanga. Niamkapo bado niko na wewe.
19 Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.
Ee Mungu, kama ungewaua waovu; ondokeni kwangu enyi watu wenye vurugu.
20 For they speak of thee wickedly, they take [thy name] in vain, thine enemies.
Wanakuasi wewe na kutenda udanganyifu; adui zako wananena uongo.
21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?
Je, siwachukii hao, wale wakuchukiao Yahwe? Je, siwadharau wale wanao inuka dhidi yako?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I account them mine enemies.
Nawachukia kabisa; wamekuwa adui zangu.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;
Ee Mungu, unichunguze na kuujua moyo wangu; unijaribu na uyajue mawazo yangu.
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
Uone kama kuna njia ya uovu ndani yangu, na uniongoze katika njia ya milele.
