< Psalms 103 >
1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana. Vyote vilivyomo ndani yangu vilihimidi jina lake takatifu.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana, wala usisahau wema wake wote,
3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
akusamehe dhambi zako zote, akuponya magonjwa yako yote,
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
aukomboa uhai wako na kaburi, akuvika taji ya upendo na huruma,
5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
atosheleza mahitaji yako kwa vitu vyema, ili ujana wako uhuishwe kama wa tai.
6 The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
Bwana hutenda haki, naye huwapa hukumu ya haki wote wanaoonewa.
7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
Alijulisha Mose njia zake, na wana wa Israeli matendo yake.
8 The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
Bwana ni mwingi wa huruma na mwenye neema; si mwepesi wa hasira, bali amejaa upendo.
9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
Yeye hatalaumu siku zote, wala haweki hasira yake milele,
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
yeye hatutendei kulingana na dhambi zetu wala hatupatilizi kwa kadiri ya maovu yetu.
11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
Kama vile mbingu zilivyo juu ya dunia sana, ndivyo wema wake ulivyo mwingi kwa wanaomcha;
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
kama mashariki ilivyo mbali na magharibi, ndivyo Mungu alivyoziweka dhambi zetu mbali nasi.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
Kama baba alivyo na huruma kwa watoto wake, ndivyo Bwana anavyowahurumia wale wanaomcha;
14 For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
kwa kuwa anajua tulivyoumbwa, anakumbuka kwamba sisi tu mavumbi.
15 Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
Kuhusu mwanadamu, siku zake ni kama majani, anachanua kama ua la shambani;
16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.
upepo huvuma juu yake nalo hutoweka, mahali pake hapalikumbuki tena.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,
Lakini kutoka milele hata milele upendo wa Bwana uko kwa wale wamchao, nayo haki yake kwa watoto wa watoto wao:
18 To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
kwa wale walishikao agano lake na kukumbuka kuyatii mausia yake.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
Bwana ameweka imara kiti chake cha enzi mbinguni, ufalme wake unatawala juu ya vyote.
20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi malaika zake, ninyi mlio mashujaa mnaozitii amri zake, ninyi mnaotii neno lake.
21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
Mhimidini Bwana, ninyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni, ninyi watumishi wake mnaofanya mapenzi yake.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
Mhimidini Bwana, kazi zake zote kila mahali katika milki yake. Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana.
