Psalms 42
1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. As a deer pants for streams of water, So my soul pants toward You, O God.
Kama ayala ayatamanivyo maji ya mto. ndivyo hivyo ninakiu yako, Mungu.
2 My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
Ninakiu yako Mungu, Mungu uliye hai, ni lini nitaonekana mbele zako?
3 My tear has been bread day and night to me, In their saying to me all the day, “Where [is] your God?”
Machozi yangu yamekuwa ni chakula changu mchana na usiku, wakati maadui zangu siku zote wanasema, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
4 These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the shelter, I go softly with them to the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping celebration!
Mambo haya niayakumbuka ninapoumimina roho yangu: nilipoenda na umati wa watu na kuwaongoza kwenye nyumba ya Mungu kwa sauti ya shangwe na kusifu, ni wengi tulisherekea.
5 Why bow yourself, O my soul? Indeed, are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him: The salvation of my countenance—my God!
Roho yangu, kwa nini unainama? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Mtumaini Mungu, Kwa kuwa kwa mara nyingine nitamsifu yeye ambaye ni wokovu wangu.
6 My soul bows itself in me, Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from Mount Mizar.
Mungu wangu, roho yangu imeinama ndani yangu, kwa hiyo ninakukumbuka toka nchi ya Yordani, toka kwenye vilele vitatu vya mlima Hermoni, na toka mlima wa Mizari.
7 Deep is calling to deep At the noise of Your waterspouts, All Your breakers and Your billows passed over me.
Kina huita kina kwenye kelele za maporomoko ya maji yako; mawimbi na mafuriko yako yote yako juu yangu.
8 By day YHWH commands His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
Wakati wa mchana Yahwe ataamuru uaminifu wa agano lake; na usiku wimbo wake utakuwa nami, ombi kwa Mungu wa uhai wangu.
9 I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning in the oppression of an enemy?”
Nami nitasema kwa Mungu wangu, mwamba wangu, “Kwa nini umenisahau? Kwa nini ninaenenda katika maombolezo kwa sababu ya ukandamizaji wa adui yangu?”
10 With a sword in my bones My adversaries have reproached me, In their saying to me all the day, “Where [is] your God?”
Kama upanga mifupani pangu, maadui zangu wananikemea, siku zote wakiniambia, “Yuko wapi Mungu wako?”
11 Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
Roho yangu, kwa nini umeinama chini? Kwa nini unahuzuni ndani yangu? Mtumaini Mungu kwa kuwa nitamsifu tena yeye aliye wokovu wangu na Mungu wangu.
