Psalms 22
1 For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa utenzi wa “Kulungu wa Alfajiri.” Zaburi ya Daudi. Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha? Kwa nini uko mbali hivyo kuniokoa? Mbali hivyo na maneno ya kuugua kwangu?
2 O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
Ee Mungu wangu, ninalia mchana, lakini hunijibu, hata usiku, sinyamazi.
3 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
Hata hivyo umesimikwa katika kiti cha enzi kama Uliye Mtakatifu; wewe ni sifa ya Israeli.
4 In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
Kwako wewe baba zetu waliweka tumaini lao, walikutumaini nawe ukawaokoa.
5 Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
Walikulilia wewe na ukawaokoa, walikutegemea wewe nao hawakuaibika.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Mimi ni mnyoo wala si mwanadamu, wanaume wamenibeza, na watu wamenidharau.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
Wote wanionao hunidhihaki, hunivurumishia matusi, wakitikisa vichwa vyao:
8 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
Husema, “Anamtegemea Bwana, basi Bwana na amwokoe. Amkomboe basi, kwa maana anapendezwa naye.”
9 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
Hata hivyo ulinitoa tumboni, ukanifanya nikutegemee, hata nilipokuwa ninanyonya matiti ya mama yangu.
10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
Nimekabidhiwa kwako tangu kuzaliwa, toka tumboni mwa mama yangu umekuwa Mungu wangu.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
Usiwe mbali nami, kwa maana shida iko karibu na hakuna wa kunisaidia.
12 Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Mafahali wengi wamenizunguka, mafahali wa Bashani wenye nguvu wamenizingira.
13 They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
Simba wangurumao wanaorarua mawindo yao hupanua vinywa vyao dhidi yangu.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.
Nimemiminwa kama maji, mifupa yangu yote imetoka katika viungo vyake. Moyo wangu umegeuka kuwa nta, umeyeyuka ndani yangu.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.
Nguvu zangu zimekauka kama kigae, ulimi wangu umegandamana na kaakaa la kinywa changu, kwa sababu umenilaza katika mavumbi ya kifo.
16 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
Mbwa wamenizunguka, kundi la watu waovu limenizingira, wametoboa mikono yangu na miguu yangu.
17 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
Naweza kuhesabu mifupa yangu yote, watu wananikodolea macho na kunisimanga.
18 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
Wanagawana nguo zangu wao kwa wao, na vazi langu wanalipigia kura.
19 But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, usiwe mbali. Ee Nguvu yangu, uje haraka unisaidie.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.
Okoa maisha yangu na upanga, uhai wangu wa thamani kutoka nguvu za mbwa.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.
Niokoe kutoka kinywani mwa simba, niokoe kutoka pembe za mafahali mwitu.
22 I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
Nitalitangaza jina lako kwa ndugu zangu, katika kusanyiko nitakusifu wewe.
23 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Ninyi ambao mnamcha Bwana, msifuni! Ninyi nyote wazao wote wa Yakobo, mheshimuni yeye! Mcheni yeye, ninyi wazao wote wa Israeli!
24 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'
Kwa maana hakupuuza wala kudharau mateso ya aliyeonewa; hakumficha uso wake bali alisikiliza kilio chake ili amsaidie.
25 From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.
Kwako wewe hutoka kiini cha sifa zangu katika kusanyiko kubwa, nitatimiza nadhiri zangu mbele ya wale wakuchao wewe.
26 Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!
Maskini watakula na kushiba, wale wamtafutao Bwana watamsifu: mioyo yenu na iishi milele!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.
Miisho yote ya dunia itakumbuka na kumgeukia Bwana, nazo jamaa zote za mataifa watasujudu mbele zake,
28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S; and He is the ruler over the nations.
kwa maana ufalme ni wa Bwana naye hutawala juu ya mataifa.
29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
Matajiri wote wa dunia watasherehekea na kuabudu. Wote waendao mavumbini watapiga magoti mbele yake, wote ambao hawawezi kudumisha uhai wao.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
Wazao wa baadaye watamtumikia yeye; vizazi vijavyo vitajulishwa habari za Bwana.
31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.
Watatangaza haki yake kwa watu ambao hawajazaliwa bado, kwa maana yeye ametenda hili.
