Psalms 42
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. As the harte brayeth for the riuers of water, so panteth my soule after thee, O God.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Utenzi wa wana wa Kora. Kama vile ayala aoneavyo shauku vijito vya maji, ndivyo nafsi yangu ikuoneavyo shauku, Ee Mungu.
2 My soule thirsteth for God, euen for the liuing God: when shall I come and appeare before the presence of God?
Nafsi yangu inamwonea Mungu kiu, Mungu aliye hai. Ni lini nitaweza kwenda kukutana na Mungu?
3 My teares haue bin my meate day and night, while they dayly say vnto me, Where is thy God?
Machozi yangu yamekuwa chakula changu usiku na mchana, huku watu wakiniambia mchana kutwa, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
4 When I remembred these things, I powred out my very heart, because I had gone with the multitude, and ledde them into the House of God with the voyce of singing, and prayse, as a multitude that keepeth a feast.
Mambo haya nayakumbuka ninapoimimina nafsi yangu: Jinsi nilivyokuwa nikienda na umati wa watu, nikiongoza maandamano kuelekea kwenye nyumba ya Mungu, kwa kelele za shangwe na za shukrani katikati ya umati uliosherehekea.
5 Why art thou cast downe, my soule, and vnquiet within me? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes for the helpe of his presence.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu, Mwokozi wangu na
6 My God, my soule is cast downe within me, because I remember thee, from the land of Iorden, and Hermonim, and from the mount Mizar.
Mungu wangu. Nafsi yangu inasononeka ndani yangu; kwa hiyo nitakukumbuka kutoka nchi ya Yordani, katika vilele vya Hermoni, kutoka Mlima Mizari.
7 One deepe calleth another deepe by the noyse of thy water spoutes: all thy waues and thy floods are gone ouer me.
Kilindi huita kilindi, katika ngurumo za maporomoko ya maji yako; mawimbi yako yote pamoja na viwimbi vimepita juu yangu.
8 The Lord will graunt his louing kindenesse in the day, and in the night shall I sing of him, euen a prayer vnto the God of my life.
Mchana Bwana huelekeza upendo wake, usiku wimbo wake uko nami: maombi kwa Mungu wa uzima wangu.
9 I wil say vnto God, which is my rocke, Why hast thou forgotten mee? why goe I mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?
Ninamwambia Mungu Mwamba wangu, “Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?”
10 My bones are cut asunder, while mine enemies reproch me, saying dayly vnto me, Where is thy God?
Mifupa yangu inateseka kwa maumivu makali adui zangu wanaponidhihaki, wakiniambia mchana kutwa, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
11 Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I wil yet giue him thankes: he is my present helpe, and my God.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu, Mwokozi wangu na Mungu wangu.
