Psalms 69
1 For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Yungiyungi.” Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, niokoe, kwa maana maji yamenifika shingoni.
2 I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.
Ninazama kwenye vilindi vya matope, pasipo mahali pa kukanyaga, Nimefika kwenye maji makuu, mafuriko yamenigharikisha.
3 I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Nimechoka kwa kuomba msaada, koo langu limekauka. Macho yangu yanafifia, nikimtafuta Mungu wangu.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away?
Wale wanaonichukia bila sababu ni wengi kuliko nywele za kichwa changu; wengi ni adui kwangu bila sababu, wale wanaotafuta kuniangamiza. Ninalazimishwa kurudisha kitu ambacho sikuiba.
5 O God, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee.
Ee Mungu, wewe unajua upumbavu wangu, wala hatia yangu haikufichika kwako.
6 Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O God of Israel.
Ee Bwana, ewe Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, wakutumainio wasiaibishwe kwa ajili yangu; wakutafutao wasifedheheshwe kwa ajili yangu, Ee Mungu wa Israeli.
7 Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
Kwa maana nimestahimili dharau kwa ajili yako, aibu imefunika uso wangu.
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
Nimekuwa mgeni kwa ndugu zangu, mgeni kwa wana wa mama yangu mwenyewe.
9 Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.
Kwa kuwa wivu wa nyumba yako unanila, matukano ya wale wanaokutukana yameniangukia.
10 And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.
Ninapolia na kufunga, lazima nivumilie matusi.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.
Ninapovaa nguo ya gunia, watu hunidharau.
12 They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.
Wale wanaoketi mlangoni wananisimanga, nimekuwa wimbo wa walevi.
13 But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.
Lakini Ee Bwana, ninakuomba, kwa wakati ukupendezao; katika upendo wako mkuu, Ee Mungu, unijibu kwa wokovu wako wa hakika.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Uniokoe katika matope, usiniache nizame; niokoe na hao wanichukiao, kutoka kwenye vilindi vya maji.
15 Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Usiache mafuriko yanigharikishe au vilindi vinimeze, au shimo lifumbe kinywa chake juu yangu.
16 Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.
Ee Bwana, unijibu, kwa wema wa upendo wako; kwa huruma zako nyingi unigeukie.
17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
Usimfiche mtumishi wako uso wako, uharakishe kunijibu, kwa sababu niko katika shida.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.
Njoo karibu uniokoe, nikomboe kwa sababu ya adui zangu.
19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.
Unajua jinsi ninavyodharauliwa, kufedheheshwa na kuaibishwa, adui zangu wote unawajua.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Dharau zimenivunja moyo na nimekata tamaa, nimetafuta wa kunihurumia, lakini sikumpata, wa kunituliza, lakini sikumpata.
21 Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Waliweka nyongo katika chakula changu na walinipa siki nilipokuwa na kiu.
22 Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
Meza iliyoandaliwa mbele yao na iwe mtego, nayo iwe upatilizo na tanzi.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter.
Macho yao yatiwe giza ili wasiweze kuona, nayo migongo yao iinamishwe daima.
24 Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.
Uwamwagie ghadhabu yako, hasira yako kali na iwapate.
25 Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
Mahali pao na pawe ukiwa, wala asiwepo yeyote atakayeishi katika mahema yao.
26 For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.
Kwa kuwa wanawatesa wale uliowajeruhi, na kuzungumza juu ya maumivu ya wale uliowaumiza.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
Walipize uovu juu ya uovu, usiwaache washiriki katika wokovu wako.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Wafutwe kutoka kitabu cha uzima na wasiorodheshwe pamoja na wenye haki.
29 But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
Mimi niko katika maumivu na dhiki; Ee Mungu, wokovu wako na unihifadhi.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
Nitalisifu jina la Mungu kwa wimbo, nami nitamtukuza kwa kumtolea shukrani.
31 And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
Hili litampendeza Bwana kuliko ngʼombe dume, zaidi ya fahali akiwa na pembe na kwato zake.
32 The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after God, let your heart revive.
Maskini wataona na kufurahi: ninyi mnaomtafuta Mungu, mioyo yenu na iishi!
33 For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners.
Bwana huwasikia wahitaji wala hadharau watu wake waliotekwa.
34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
Mbingu na dunia zimsifu, bahari na vyote viendavyo ndani yake,
35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
kwa maana Mungu ataiokoa Sayuni na kuijenga tena miji ya Yuda. Kisha watu watafanya makao yao humo na kuimiliki,
36 The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.
watoto wa watumishi wake watairithi na wale wote walipendao jina lake wataishi humo.
