Psalms 16
1 The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
Utenzi wa Daudi. Ee Mungu, uniweke salama, kwa maana kwako nimekimbilia.
2 I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
Nilimwambia Bwana, “Wewe ndiwe Bwana wangu; pasipo wewe sina jambo jema.”
3 To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
Kwa habari ya watakatifu walioko duniani, ndio walio wa fahari ambao ninapendezwa nao.
4 Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
Huzuni itaongezeka kwa wale wanaokimbilia miungu mingine. Sitazimimina sadaka zao za damu au kutaja majina yao midomoni mwangu.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
Bwana umeniwekea fungu langu na kikombe changu; umeyafanya mambo yangu yote yawe salama.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
Alama za mipaka zimeniangukia mahali pazuri, hakika nimepata urithi mzuri.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
Nitamsifu Bwana ambaye hunishauri, hata wakati wa usiku moyo wangu hunifundisha.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
Nimemweka Bwana mbele yangu daima. Kwa sababu yuko mkono wangu wa kuume, sitatikisika.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafurahia, na ulimi wangu unashangilia; mwili wangu nao utapumzika salama,
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
kwa maana hutaniacha kaburini, wala hutamwacha Mtakatifu Wako kuona uharibifu. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Umenijulisha njia ya uzima; utanijaza na furaha mbele zako, pamoja na furaha za milele katika mkono wako wa kuume.
