< Psalms 30 >
1 [A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Nitakutukuza wewe, Yahwe, kwa kuwa umeniinua na haujawaruhusu maadui zangu juu yangu.
2 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
Yahwe Mungu wangu, nilikulilia wewe kwa ajili ya msaada, nawe ukaniponya.
3 LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
Yahwe, wewe umeitoa roho yangu kuzimuni; nawe umeniweka hai mbali na kaburi. (Sheol )
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.
Mwimbieni sifa Yahwe, ninyi waaminifu wake! Mshukuruni Bwana mkumbukapo utakatifu wake.
5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Kwa kuwa hasira yake ni ya muda tu; bali neema yake yadumu milele. Kilio huja usiku, bali furaha huja asubuhi.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
7 You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
Yahwe, kwa neema yako uliniweka mimi kama mlima imara; lakini ulipouficha uso wako, nilisumbuka.
8 I cried to you, LORD. To the LORD I made petition:
Nilikulilia wewe, Yahwe, na kuomba msaada kwa Bwana wangu!
9 "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
Kuna faida gani katika kifo changu, kama nitaenda kaburini? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu wewe? Yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper."
Sikia, Yahwe, na unihurumie! Yahwe, uwe msaidizi wangu.
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Wewe umegeuza kuomboleza kwangu kuwa kucheza; wewe umeyaondoa mavazi yangu ya magunia na kunivisha furaha.
12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
Hivyo sasa utukufu wangu utakuimbia sifa wewe na hautanyamaza; Yahwe Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru wewe milele!
