Psalms 27
1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana ni nuru yangu na wokovu wangu, nimwogope nani? Bwana ni ngome ya uzima wangu, nimhofu nani?
2 When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
Waovu watakaposogea dhidi yangu ili wanile nyama yangu, adui zangu na watesi wangu watakaponishambulia, watajikwaa na kuanguka.
3 Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
Hata jeshi linizunguke pande zote, moyo wangu hautaogopa; hata vita vitokee dhidi yangu, hata hapo nitakuwa na ujasiri.
4 One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
Jambo moja ninamwomba Bwana, hili ndilo ninalolitafuta: niweze kukaa nyumbani mwa Bwana siku zote za maisha yangu, niutazame uzuri wa Bwana na kumtafuta hekaluni mwake.
5 For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
Kwa kuwa siku ya shida, atanihifadhi salama katika maskani yake, atanificha uvulini mwa hema yake na kuniweka juu kwenye mwamba.
6 And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
Kisha kichwa changu kitainuliwa juu ya adui zangu wanaonizunguka. Katika maskani yake nitatoa dhabihu kwa kelele za shangwe; nitamwimbia Bwana na kumsifu.
7 Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
Isikie sauti yangu nikuitapo, Ee Bwana, unihurumie na unijibu.
8 When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
Moyo wangu unasema kuhusu wewe, “Utafute uso wake!” Uso wako, Bwana “Nitautafuta.”
9 Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
Usinifiche uso wako, usimkatae mtumishi wako kwa hasira; wewe umekuwa msaada wangu. Usinikatae wala usiniache, Ee Mungu Mwokozi wangu.
10 Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
Hata kama baba yangu na mama wakiniacha, Bwana atanipokea.
11 Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
Nifundishe njia yako, Ee Bwana, niongoze katika njia iliyonyooka kwa sababu ya watesi wangu.
12 Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
Usiniachilie kwa nia za adui zangu, kwa maana mashahidi wa uongo wameinuka dhidi yangu, wakipumua ujeuri.
13 I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
Nami bado nina tumaini hili: nitauona wema wa Bwana katika nchi ya walio hai.
14 Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
Mngojee Bwana, uwe hodari na mwenye moyo mkuu, nawe, umngojee Bwana.
