Psalms 130

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.

2 Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

Bwana, usikie sauti yangu; masikio yako na yasikie kwa makini kuomba kwangu kwa ajili ya huruma.

3 Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

Kama wewe, Yahwe, ungehesabu maovu, Bwana, ni nani angesimama?

4 But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.

5 I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

Ninamngoja Yahwe, nafsi yangu inasubiri, na katika neno lake ninatumainia.

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 inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.

7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

Israeli, umtumainie yahwe. Yahwe ni wenye huruma, na yuko tayari kusamehe.

8 He will save Israel from every sin.

Ni yeye ambaye ataikomboa istaeli dhidi ya dhambi zake zote.
