Psalms 41
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Heri mtu yule anayemjali mnyonge, Bwana atamwokoa wakati wa shida.
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Bwana atamlinda na kuyahifadhi maisha yake, atambariki katika nchi na hatamwacha katika tamaa ya adui zake.
3 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
Bwana atamtegemeza awapo mgonjwa kitandani, atamwinua kutoka kitandani mwake.
4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Nilisema, “Ee Bwana nihurumie, niponye, maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
Adui zangu wanasema kwa hila, “Lini atakufa, na jina lake litokomee kabisa.”
6 And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
Kila anapokuja mtu kunitazama, huzungumza uongo, huku moyo wake hukusanya masingizio; kisha huondoka na kuyasambaza huku na huko.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
Adui zangu wote hunongʼonezana dhidi yangu, hao huniwazia mabaya sana, wakisema,
8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.
“Ugonjwa mbaya sana umempata, kamwe hatainuka tena kitandani mwake.”
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
Hata rafiki yangu wa karibu niliyemwamini, yule aliyekula chakula changu ameniinulia kisigino chake.
10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, nihurumie, ukaniinue tena, ili niweze kuwalipiza kisasi.
11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Najua kwamba wapendezwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hanishindi.
12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Katika uadilifu wangu unanitegemeza na kuniweka kwenye uwepo wako milele.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.
Msifuni Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele.
