Psalms 31
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, nimekukimbilia wewe, usiache nikaaibika kamwe, kwa haki yako uniokoe.
2 Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.
Nitegee sikio lako, uje uniokoe haraka; uwe kwangu mwamba wa kimbilio, ngome imara ya kuniokoa.
3 For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
Kwa kuwa wewe ni mwamba wangu na ngome yangu, uniongoze na kunilinda kwa ajili ya jina lako.
4 Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.
Uniepushe na mtego niliotegewa, maana wewe ndiwe kimbilio langu.
5 Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
Ninaikabidhi roho yangu mikononi mwako, unikomboe Ee Bwana, uliye Mungu wa kweli.
6 I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.
Ninawachukia wale wanaongʼangʼania sanamu batili; mimi ninamtumaini Bwana.
7 I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
Nitafurahia na kushangilia upendo wako, kwa kuwa uliona mateso yangu na ulijua maumivu ya nafsi yangu.
8 And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
Hukunikabidhi kwa adui yangu bali umeiweka miguu yangu mahali penye nafasi.
9 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
Ee Bwana unihurumie, kwa kuwa niko kwenye shida; macho yangu yanafifia kwa huzuni, nafsi yangu na mwili wangu kwa sikitiko.
10 For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
Maisha yangu yamedhoofika kwa majonzi, naam, miaka yangu kwa kulia kwa maumivu makali; nguvu zangu zinaisha kwa ajili ya mateso, na mifupa yangu inachakaa.
11 I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.
Kwa sababu ya adui zangu wote, nimedharauliwa kabisa na jirani zangu, hata kwa rafiki zangu nimekuwa tisho, wale wanionao barabarani hunikimbia.
12 I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
Nimesahaulika miongoni mwao kama mtu aliyekufa, nimekuwa kama chombo cha mfinyanzi kilichovunjika.
13 For I haue heard the rayling of great men: feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.
Kwa maana nimesikia maneno niliyosingiziwa na wengi; vitisho viko pande zote; kwa kuwa wamefanya mashauri dhidi yangu, na kula njama kuniua.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Lakini mimi ninakutumaini wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana; nimesema, “Wewe ndiwe Mungu wangu.”
15 My times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Siku za maisha yangu ziko mikononi mwako, uniokoe mikononi mwa adui zangu na wale wanifuatiao.
16 Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
Mwangazie mtumishi wako uso wako, uniokoe kwa ajili ya upendo wako usiokoma.
17 Let me not be confounded, O Lord: for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue. (Sheol h7585)
Usiniache niaibike, Ee Bwana, kwa maana nimekulilia wewe, bali waovu waaibishwe na kunyamazishwa Kuzimu. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
Midomo yao isemayo uongo na inyamazishwe, kwa maana kwa kiburi na dharau wao husema kwa majivuno dhidi ya wenye haki.
19 Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!
Tazama jinsi ulivyo mkuu wema wako, uliowawekea akiba wakuchao, ambao huwapa wale wakukimbiliao machoni pa watu.
20 Thou doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
Unawahifadhi katika uvuli wa uwepo wako kutokana na hila za wanadamu; katika makao yako huwaweka salama kutokana na ndimi za mashtaka.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
Atukuzwe Bwana, kwa kuwa amenionyesha upendo wake wa ajabu nilipokuwa katika mji uliozingirwa.
22 Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto thee.
Katika hofu yangu nilisema, “Nimekatiliwa mbali na macho yako!” Hata hivyo ulisikia kilio changu ukanihurumia nilipokuita unisaidie.
23 Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
Mpendeni Bwana ninyi watakatifu wake wote! Bwana huwahifadhi waaminifu, lakini wenye kiburi huwalipiza kikamilifu.
24 All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
Kuweni hodari na mjipe moyo, ninyi nyote mnaomtumaini Bwana.
