Psalms 30

1 “A psalm, a song at the dedication of the temple, of David.” I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not suffered my enemies to rejoice over me.

Utenzi wa kuweka wakfu hekalu. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitakutukuza wewe, Ee Bwana, kwa kuwa umeniinua kutoka vilindi, na hukuacha adui zangu washangilie juu yangu.

2 O Lord my God, I cried loudly unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, nilikuita unisaidie na wewe umeniponya.

3 O Lord, thou hast brought up from the nether world my soul: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Ee Bwana, umenitoa Kuzimu, umeniokoa nisishuke kwenye shimo la mauti. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye his pious ones, and give thanks to the memorial of his holiness.

Mwimbieni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake; lisifuni jina lake takatifu.

5 For his anger is momentary, [but] life is in his favor: in the evening [cometh] weeping to stay for a night, but in the morning, there is joyful song.

Kwa maana hasira yake ni ya muda mfupi, bali upendo wake hudumu siku zote. Inawezekana kilio kiwepo usiku kucha, lakini asubuhi kukawa na furaha.

6 And I had said indeed in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

Nilipofanikiwa nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”

7 Lord, by thy favor hadst thou caused my mountain to stand in strength: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was terrified.

Ee Bwana, uliponijalia, uliuimarisha mlima wangu, lakini ulipouficha uso wako nilifadhaika.

8 Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.

Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the grave? Shall the dust thank thee? shall it announce thy truth?

“Kuna faida gani katika kuangamia kwangu? Katika kushuka kwangu shimoni? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu? Je, yatatangaza uaminifu wako?

10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious unto me: Lord, be thou a helper unto me.

Ee Bwana, unisikie na kunihurumia, Ee Bwana, uwe msaada wangu.”

11 Thou hast changed my mourning into dancing for me; thou hast loosened my sack-cloth, and girded me with joy.

Uligeuza maombolezo yangu kuwa kucheza, ulinivua nguo za gunia ukanivika shangwe,

12 To the end that my glorious soul may sing praise to thee, and never be silent. O Lord my God, for ever will I give thanks unto thee.

ili moyo wangu uweze kukusifu na usikae kimya. Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru milele.
