Psalms 42
1 BOOK SECOND: “To the chief musician, a Maskil, for the sons of Korach.” As a hart panteth after brooks of water, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Utenzi wa wana wa Kora. Kama vile ayala aoneavyo shauku vijito vya maji, ndivyo nafsi yangu ikuoneavyo shauku, Ee Mungu.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I go [again] and be seen in the presence of God?
Nafsi yangu inamwonea Mungu kiu, Mungu aliye hai. Ni lini nitaweza kwenda kukutana na Mungu?
3 My tears have been my food day and night; because men say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Machozi yangu yamekuwa chakula changu usiku na mchana, huku watu wakiniambia mchana kutwa, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
4 These things will I remember, and pour out my soul in me: how I was wont to pass along amidst the multitude, journeying with them as a pilgrim to the house of God, with the voice of joyful song and thanksgiving, among the festive throng.
Mambo haya nayakumbuka ninapoimimina nafsi yangu: Jinsi nilivyokuwa nikienda na umati wa watu, nikiongoza maandamano kuelekea kwenye nyumba ya Mungu, kwa kelele za shangwe na za shukrani katikati ya umati uliosherehekea.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and disquieted in me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, because of the salvation of his countenance.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu, Mwokozi wangu na
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and from the peaks of Chermon, from the low mount.
Mungu wangu. Nafsi yangu inasononeka ndani yangu; kwa hiyo nitakukumbuka kutoka nchi ya Yordani, katika vilele vya Hermoni, kutoka Mlima Mizari.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows have passed over me.
Kilindi huita kilindi, katika ngurumo za maporomoko ya maji yako; mawimbi yako yote pamoja na viwimbi vimepita juu yangu.
8 In the daytime the Lord will command his kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, as a prayer unto the God of my life.
Mchana Bwana huelekeza upendo wake, usiku wimbo wake uko nami: maombi kwa Mungu wa uzima wangu.
9 I will say unto God, my rock, why hast thou forgotten me? why must I walk grieved, under the oppression of the enemy?
Ninamwambia Mungu Mwamba wangu, “Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini niendelee kuomboleza, nikiwa nimeonewa na adui?”
10 It is as death in my bones, when my assailants reproach me; when they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
Mifupa yangu inateseka kwa maumivu makali adui zangu wanaponidhihaki, wakiniambia mchana kutwa, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within met? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Ee nafsi yangu, kwa nini unasononeka? Kwa nini unafadhaika hivyo ndani yangu? Weka tumaini lako kwa Mungu, kwa sababu bado nitamsifu, Mwokozi wangu na Mungu wangu.
