< Psalms 130 >
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.
Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Kutoka vilindini ninakulilia, Ee Bwana.
2 Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.
Ee Bwana, sikia sauti yangu. Masikio yako na yawe masikivu kwa kilio changu unihurumie.
3 Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?
Kama wewe, Ee Bwana, ungeweka kumbukumbu ya dhambi, Ee Bwana, ni nani angeliweza kusimama?
4 But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.
Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, kwa hiyo wewe unaogopwa.
5 I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.
Namngojea Bwana, nafsi yangu inangojea, katika neno lake naweka tumaini langu.
6 I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
Nafsi yangu inamngojea Bwana kuliko walinzi waingojeavyo asubuhi, naam, kuliko walinzi waingojeavyo asubuhi.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.
Ee Israeli, mtumaini Bwana, maana kwa Bwana kuna upendo usiokoma, na kwake kuna ukombozi kamili.
8 He will save Israel from every sin.
Yeye mwenyewe ataikomboa Israeli kutoka dhambi zao zote.
