< Psalms 77 >
1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Asafu. Nilimlilia Mungu ili anisaidie, nilimlilia Mungu ili anisikie.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
Nilipokuwa katika taabu, nilimtafuta Bwana, usiku nilinyoosha mikono bila kuchoka na nafsi yangu ilikataa kufarijika.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)
Ee Mungu, nilikukumbuka wewe, nikalia kwa huzuni; nikatafakari, roho yangu ikadhoofika.
4 You hold mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Ulizuia macho yangu kufumba; nilikuwa nasumbuka, nikashindwa kusema.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Nilitafakari juu ya siku zilizopita, miaka mingi iliyopita,
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
nilikumbuka nilivyoimba nyimbo usiku. Moyo wangu ulitafakari na roho yangu ikauliza:
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
“Je, Bwana atakataa milele? Je, hatatenda mema tena?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? does his promise fail for evermore?
Je, upendo wake usio na mwisho umetoweka milele? Je, ahadi yake imekoma nyakati zote?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
Je, Mungu amesahau kuwa na huruma? Je, katika hasira amezuia huruma yake?”
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
Ndipo nikawaza, “Huu ndio udhaifu wangu: lakini nitakumbuka miaka ya mkono wa kuume wa Aliye Juu Sana.”
11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.
Nitayakumbuka matendo ya Bwana; naam, nitaikumbuka miujiza yako ya zamani.
12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.
Nitazitafakari kazi zako zote na kuyawaza matendo yako makuu.
13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Ee Mungu, njia zako ni takatifu. Ni mungu yupi aliye mkuu kama Mungu wetu?
14 You are the God that do wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
Wewe ndiwe Mungu utendaye miujiza, umeonyesha uwezo wako katikati ya mataifa.
15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Kwa mkono wako wenye nguvu umewakomboa watu wako, uzao wa Yakobo na Yosefu.
16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
Maji yalikuona, Ee Mungu, maji yalikuona yakakimbia, vilindi vilitetemeka.
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad.
Mawingu yalimwaga maji, mbingu zikatoa ngurumo kwa radi, mishale yako ikametameta huku na huko.
18 The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
Ngurumo yako ilisikika katika upepo wa kisulisuli, umeme wako wa radi ukaangaza dunia, nchi ikatetemeka na kutikisika.
19 Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
Njia yako ilipita baharini, mapito yako kwenye maji makuu, ingawa nyayo zako hazikuonekana.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Uliongoza watu wako kama kundi kwa mkono wa Mose na Aroni.
