Psalms 25
1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, nainua nafsi yangu,
2 My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
ni wewe ninayekutumainia, Ee Mungu wangu. Usiniache niaibike, wala usiache adui zangu wakanishinda.
3 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
Kamwe hakuna hata mmoja anayekutegemea atakayeaibishwa, bali wataaibishwa wafanyao hila bila sababu.
4 Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.
Nionyeshe njia zako, Ee Bwana, nifundishe mapito yako,
5 Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
niongoze katika kweli yako na kunifundisha, kwa maana wewe ni Mungu Mwokozi wangu, nalo tumaini langu liko kwako wakati wote.
6 Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Kumbuka, Ee Bwana, rehema zako kuu na upendo, kwa maana zimekuwepo tangu zamani.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.
Usizikumbuke dhambi za ujana wangu wala njia zangu za uasi, sawasawa na upendo wako unikumbuke, kwa maana wewe ni mwema, Ee Bwana.
8 Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:
Bwana ni mwema na mwenye adili, kwa hiyo huwafundisha wenye dhambi njia zake.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.
Huwaongoza wanyenyekevu katika haki, naye huwafundisha njia yake.
10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Njia zote za Bwana ni za upendo na uaminifu kwa wale wanaoshika shuhuda za agano lake.
11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
Ee Bwana, kwa ajili ya jina lako, unisamehe uovu wangu, ijapokuwa ni mwingi.
12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.
Ni nani basi, mtu yule anayemcha Bwana? Atamfundisha katika njia atakayoichagua kwa ajili yake.
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
Mtu huyo atafanikiwa maishani mwake, nao wazao wake watairithi nchi.
14 The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.
Siri ya Bwana iko kwa wale wamchao, yeye huwajulisha agano lake.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.
Macho yangu humwelekea Bwana daima, kwa kuwa yeye peke yake ndiye ataitoa miguu yangu kutoka mtego.
16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Nigeukie na unihurumie, kwa maana mimi ni mpweke na mwenye kuteseka.
17 The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;
Shida za moyo wangu zimeongezeka, niokoe katika dhiki yangu.
18 Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
Uangalie mateso na shida zangu na uniondolee dhambi zangu zote.
19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.
Tazama adui zangu walivyo wengi, pia uone jinsi wanavyonichukia vikali!
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.
Uyalinde maisha yangu na uniokoe, usiniache niaibike, kwa maana nimekukimbilia wewe.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Uadilifu na uaminifu vinilinde, kwa sababu tumaini langu ni kwako.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Ee Mungu, wakomboe Israeli, katika shida zao zote!
