Psalms 41
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How happy are those who take care of the poor! When they are in trouble the Lord will save them.
Amebarikiwa mtu yule amkumbukaye mnyonge; katika siku ya taabu, Yahwe atamuokoa.
2 The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. They will live happily in the land, and they will not be handed over to their enemies.
Yahwe atamuhifadhi na kumuweka hai, naye atabarikiwa duniani; Yahwe hata mrudisha kwenye mapenzi ya adui zake.
3 The Lord looks after them when they're sick; he makes them well from their illness.
Awapo kwenye kitanda cha mateso Yahwe atamsaidia; nawe utakifanya kitanda cha ugonjwa kuwa kitanda cha uponyaji.
4 “Lord, please be gracious to me,” I asked. “Please heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
Nami nilisema, “Yahwe unihurumie! Uniponye, kwa maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 Those who hate me only say evil things about me. “When is he going to die, and people forget all about him?” they ask.
Adui zangu huongea maovu dhidi yangu, wakisema, 'Atakufa lini na jina lake lipotee?'
6 They come to visit me, but their sympathy is not sincere. They're only interested in the bad news, which they spread around as soon as they leave.
Adui yangu ajapo kuniona, huongea mambo yasiyo na maana; moyo wake hukusanya maafa yangu kwa ajili yake mwenyewe; na aondokapo kwangu, yeye huwaambia watu wengine kuhusu hayo.
7 All who hate me talk in whispers about my condition, hoping for the worst.
Wale wote wanaonichukia kwa pamoja hunon'gona dhidi yangu; nao wanafarijika kwa ajili ya maumivu yangu.
8 “He's been cursed with some terrible disease,” they say. “Now he's bed-ridden he'll never recover!”
Wakisema, “Gonjwa baya limemshikilia yeye haswa; na sasa kuwa amelala kitandani, hatainuka kamwe.”
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted, who shared meals with me—even he has turned against me.
Kweli, hata rafiki yangu wa karibu, ambae nilimuamini, aliye kula mkate wangu, ameinua kisigino chake dhidi yangu.
10 But you Lord, please be gracious to me, make me well so I can repay them!
Bali wewe, Yahwe, unihurumie na uniinue ili kwamba niwalipizie kisasi.
11 I know you are pleased with me because you have not let my enemies win and shout in triumph over me.
Na hivi nitajua kuwa unafurahishwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hatafurahia kunishinda.
12 You have supported me because of my integrity, you have brought me into your presence forever.
Kwangu mimi, wewe unanisaidia katika uadilifu wangu na utaniweka mbele ya uso wako milele.
13 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen and amen!
Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asifiwe milele na milele. Amen na Amen. Kitabu ya Pili
