< Psalms 70 >
1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Yhwh.
Uniokoe, Mungu! Yahwe, njoo haraka na unisaidie mimi.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Wale wajaribuo kuchukua uhai wangu waaibishwe na kufedheheshwa; warudishwe nyuma na wasiheshimiwe, wale wafurahiao katika maumivu yangu.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Warudishwe nyuma kwa sababu ya aibu yao, wale wasemao, “Aha, aha.”
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
Wale wakutafutao wafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; wale waupendao wokovu wako siku zote waseme, “Mungu asifiwe.”
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Yhwh, make no tarrying.
Lakini mimi ni maskini na muhitaji; harakisha kwangu, Mungu; wewe ni msaada wangu nawe huniokoa mimi. Yahwe, usichelewe.
