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 kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. In wewe, Yahwe, nakimbilia usalama; usiniache niaibishwe. Katika 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.
Unisikie; uniokoe haraka; uwe mwamba wangu wa usalama, ngome 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; kwa hiyo kwa ajili ya jina lako, uniongoze na unielekeze.
4 Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.
Unitoe katika mtego ambao wameuficha kwa ajili yangu, kwa kuwa wewe ni usalama wangu.
5 Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
Mikononi mwako naikabidhi roho yangu; nawe utaniokoa, Yahwe, mwenye kuaminika.
6 I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.
Ninawachukia wale wanaotumikia miungu isiyo na maana, bali ninaamini katika Yahwe.
7 I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
Nitafurahi na kushangilia katika uaminifu wa agano lako, kwa kuwa uliyaona mateso yangu; wewe uliijua dhiki ya moyo wangu.
8 And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
Wewe haujaniweka kwenye mkono wa maadui zangu. Nawe umeiweka miguu yangu mahali pa wazi papana.
9 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
Uniurumie, Yahwe, kwa maana niko katika dhiki; macho yangu yanafifia kwa huzuni pamoja na moyo wangu na mwili wangu.
10 For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
Kwa kuwa maisha yangu yamechoshwa kwa huzuni na miaka yangu kwa kuugua kwangu. Nimekuwa dhaifu kwa sababu ya dhambi zangu, 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 maadui zangu wote, watu wananibeza; majirani zangu wanaishangaa hali yangu, na wale wanao nifahamu wanashtuka. Wale wanionao mitaani hunikimbia.
12 I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
Nimesahaulika kama mtu aliye kufa ambaye hakuna mtu anaye mfikiria. Niko kama chungu kilicho pasuka.
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 minong'ono ya wengi, habari za kutisha kutoka pande zote kwa pamoja wamepanga njama kinyume na mimi. Wao wanapanga njama ya kuniua.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Bali mimi ninakuamini wewe, Yahwe; Ninasema, “Wewe ni Mungu wangu.”
15 My times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Hatima yangu iko mikononi mwako. Uniokoe mikononi mwa maadui zangu na wale wanao nifukuzia.
16 Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
Nuru ya uso wako imuangazie mtumishi wako; uniokoe katika uaminifu wa agano lako.
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 niaibishwe, Yahwe; kwa maana ninakuita wewe! Waovu waaibishwe! Na wanyamaze kimya kuzimuni. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
Na inyamazishwe midomo midanganyifu ambayo husema maneno mabaya kuhusu watu wenye haki huku wakiwa na kiburi na dharau.
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!
Uzuri wako ni wa namna gani nao umeuhifadhii kwa ajili ya wale wanao kuheshimu sana, ambao wewe huufanya kwa ajili ya wale ambao hukimbilia kwako kwa ajili ya usalama mbele ya watoto wote wa wanadamu!
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.
Katika makao ya uwepo wako, wewe huwaficha mbali na njama za watu. Wewe huwaficha mahali salama na ndimi zenye vurugu.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
Atukuzwe Yahwe, kwa maana yeye alinionesha maajabu ya uaminifu wa agano lake mahali nilipoishi.
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.
Ingawa kwa haraka zangu nilisema, “Nimeondolewa machoni pako,” bali wewe ulisikia kusihi kwangu nilipokulilia wewe.
23 Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
Enyi wafuasi waaminifu, mpendeni Yahwe, Yahwe huwalinda waaminifu, lakini huwalipa wakaidi ipasavyo.
24 All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
Iweni imara na jasiri, ninyi nyote mnao mwamini Mungu kuwasaidia.
