Psalms 42
1 To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Utenzi wa wana wa Kora. Kama vile ayala aoneavyo shauku vijito vya maji, ndivyo nafsi yangu ikuoneavyo shauku, Ee Mungu.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Nafsi yangu inamwonea Mungu kiu, Mungu aliye hai. Ni lini nitaweza kwenda kukutana na Mungu?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Machozi yangu yamekuwa chakula changu usiku na mchana, huku watu wakiniambia mchana kutwa, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
Mambo haya nayakumbuka ninapoimimina nafsi yangu: Jinsi nilivyokuwa nikienda na umati wa watu, nikiongoza maandamano kuelekea kwenye nyumba ya Mungu, kwa kelele za shangwe na za shukrani katikati ya umati uliosherehekea.
5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu, Mwokozi wangu na
6 My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
Mungu wangu. Nafsi yangu inasononeka ndani yangu; kwa hiyo nitakukumbuka kutoka nchi ya Yordani, katika vilele vya Hermoni, kutoka Mlima Mizari.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
Kilindi huita kilindi, katika ngurumo za maporomoko ya maji yako; mawimbi yako yote pamoja na viwimbi vimepita juu yangu.
8 In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.
Mchana Bwana huelekeza upendo wake, usiku wimbo wake uko nami: maombi kwa Mungu wa uzima wangu.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Ninamwambia Mungu Mwamba wangu, “Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?”
10 As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Mifupa yangu inateseka kwa maumivu makali adui zangu wanaponidhihaki, wakiniambia mchana kutwa, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
11 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu, Mwokozi wangu na Mungu wangu.
