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.
Amebarikiwa mtu yule amkumbukaye mnyonge; katika siku ya taabu, Yahwe atamuokoa.
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.
Yahwe atamuhifadhi na kumuweka hai, naye atabarikiwa duniani; Yahwe hata mrudisha kwenye mapenzi ya adui zake.
3 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
Awapo kwenye kitanda cha mateso Yahwe atamsaidia; nawe utakifanya kitanda cha ugonjwa kuwa kitanda cha uponyaji.
4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Nami nilisema, “Yahwe unihurumie! Uniponye, kwa maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
Adui zangu huongea maovu dhidi yangu, wakisema, 'Atakufa lini na jina lake lipotee?'
6 And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
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 that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
Wale wote wanaonichukia kwa pamoja hunon'gona dhidi yangu; nao wanafarijika kwa ajili ya maumivu yangu.
8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.
Wakisema, “Gonjwa baya limemshikilia yeye haswa; na sasa kuwa amelala kitandani, hatainuka kamwe.”
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
Kweli, hata rafiki yangu wa karibu, ambae nilimuamini, aliye kula mkate wangu, ameinua kisigino chake dhidi yangu.
10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Bali wewe, Yahwe, unihurumie na uniinue ili kwamba niwalipizie kisasi.
11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Na hivi nitajua kuwa unafurahishwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hatafurahia kunishinda.
12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Kwangu mimi, wewe unanisaidia katika uadilifu wangu na utaniweka mbele ya uso wako milele.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.
Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asifiwe milele na milele. Amen na Amen. Kitabu ya Pili
