Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Unilinde, Mungu, kwa kuwa nakimbilia kwako kwa ajili ya usalama.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Nami ninasema kwa Yahwe, “Wewe ni Bwana wangu; wema wangu ni bure pasipo wewe.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Kama kwa watakatifu walioko duniani, ndio walio bora; furaha yangu yote iko kwao.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Taabu yao itaongezeka, wale watafutao miungu mingine. Sitamimina sadaka ya damu kwa miungu yao. Wala kuyainua majina yao kwa midomo yao.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
Yahwe, wewe ni sehemu ya chaguo langu na kikombe changu. Unaishikilia kesho yangu.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Mistari iliyo pimwa imelelazwa mahari pa kufurahisha kwa ajili yangu; hakika urithi ufurahishao ni wangu.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Nitakubariki Yahwe, wewe unishauliye; hata wakati wa usiku akili zangu za nielekeza.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Nimemuweka Yahwe mbele yangu kila wakati, ili nisitikisike kutoka mkono wake wa kuume.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafuraha, utukufu wangu washangilia. Hakika nitaishi katika usalama.
Kwa kuwa hautaiacha roho yangu kuzimuni. Wewe hautamuacha mwaminifu wako kuliona shimo. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Wewe hunifundisha njia ya maisha; furaha tele inakaa katika uwepo wako; furaha inakaa katika mkono wako wa kuume milele!”
