< Psalms 6 >
1 For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
Yahweh, usinikemee ukiwa na hasira au usiniadhibu katika gadhabu yako.
2 Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.
Unihurumie, Yahwe, kwa maana ni dhaifu; uniponye, Yahweh, kwa kuwa mifupa yangu ina tikisika.
3 My soul also is sore affrighted; and Thou, O LORD, how long?
Moyo wangu pia umesumbuka sana. Lakini wewe, Yahweh, mpaka lini hali hii itaendelea?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; save me for Thy mercy's sake.
Rudi, Yahweh! uniokoe. Uniokoe kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako!
5 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; in the nether-world who will give Thee thanks? (Sheol )
kwa kuwa kifoni hakuna kumbukumbu lako. Kuzimuni ni nani atakaye kushukuru? (Sheol )
6 I am weary with my groaning; every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.
Nimechoshwa na kuugua kwangu. Ninalowanisha kitanda changu kwa machozi usiku kucha; ninaosha kiti changu kwa machozi.
7 Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
Macho yangu yanafifia kwa kulia sana; yanazidi kuwa dhaifu kwa sababu ya adaui zangu.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Ondokeni kwangu, nyote mtendao maovu; kwa kuwa Yahweh amesikia sauti ya kilio changu.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD receiveth my prayer.
Yahweh amesikia malalamiko yangu kwa ajili ya huruma; Yahweh ameyapokea maombi yangu.
10 All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
Maadui zangu wote wataaibishwa na kuteswa sana. Watarudi nyuma na ghafra kufedheheshwa.
