< 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.
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 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, nilikuita unisaidie na wewe umeniponya.
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 )
Ee Bwana, umenitoa Kuzimu, umeniokoa nisishuke kwenye shimo la mauti. (Sheol )
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.
Mwimbieni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake; lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
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 maana hasira yake ni ya muda mfupi, bali upendo wake hudumu siku zote. Inawezekana kilio kiwepo usiku kucha, lakini asubuhi kukawa na furaha.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
Nilipofanikiwa nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
7 You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
Ee Bwana, uliponijalia, uliuimarisha mlima wangu, lakini ulipouficha uso wako nilifadhaika.
8 I cried to you, LORD. To the LORD I made petition:
Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:
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 kuangamia kwangu? Katika kushuka kwangu shimoni? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu? Je, yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper."
Ee Bwana, unisikie na kunihurumia, Ee Bwana, uwe msaada wangu.”
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Uligeuza maombolezo yangu kuwa kucheza, ulinivua nguo za gunia ukanivika shangwe,
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.
ili moyo wangu uweze kukusifu na usikae kimya. Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru milele.
