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.
Kama ayala ayatamanivyo maji ya mto. ndivyo hivyo ninakiu yako, Mungu.
2 My soule thirsteth for God, euen for the liuing God: when shall I come and appeare before the presence of God?
Ninakiu yako Mungu, Mungu uliye hai, ni lini nitaonekana mbele zako?
3 My teares haue bin my meate day and night, while they dayly say vnto me, Where is thy God?
Machozi yangu yamekuwa ni chakula changu mchana na usiku, wakati maadui zangu siku zote wanasema, “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 niayakumbuka ninapoumimina roho yangu: nilipoenda na umati wa watu na kuwaongoza kwenye nyumba ya Mungu kwa sauti ya shangwe na kusifu, ni wengi tulisherekea.
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.
Roho yangu, kwa nini unainama? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Mtumaini Mungu, Kwa kuwa kwa mara nyingine nitamsifu yeye ambaye ni wokovu wangu.
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, roho yangu imeinama ndani yangu, kwa hiyo ninakukumbuka toka nchi ya Yordani, toka kwenye vilele vitatu vya mlima Hermoni, na toka mlima wa Mizari.
7 One deepe calleth another deepe by the noyse of thy water spoutes: all thy waues and thy floods are gone ouer me.
Kina huita kina kwenye kelele za maporomoko ya maji yako; mawimbi na mafuriko yako yote yako 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.
Wakati wa mchana Yahwe ataamuru uaminifu wa agano lake; na usiku wimbo wake utakuwa nami, ombi kwa Mungu wa uhai 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?
Nami nitasema kwa Mungu wangu, mwamba wangu, “Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini ninaenenda katika maombolezo kwa sababu ya ukandamizaji wa adui yangu?”
10 My bones are cut asunder, while mine enemies reproch me, saying dayly vnto me, Where is thy God?
Kama upanga mifupani pangu, maadui zangu wananikemea, siku zote wakiniambia, “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.
Roho yangu, kwa nini umeinama chini? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Mtumaini Mungu kwa kuwa nitamsifu tena yeye aliye wokovu wangu na Mungu wangu.
