Psalms 41

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Blessed is he who considers the poor and needy. YHWH will deliver him in the day of evil.

Amebarikiwa mtu yule amkumbukaye mnyonge; katika siku ya taabu, Yahwe atamuokoa.

2 YHWH will protect him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

Yahwe atamuhifadhi na kumuweka hai, naye atabarikiwa duniani; Yahwe hata mrudisha kwenye mapenzi ya adui zake.

3 YHWH will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

Awapo kwenye kitanda cha mateso Yahwe atamsaidia; nawe utakifanya kitanda cha ugonjwa kuwa kitanda cha uponyaji.

4 I said, "YHWH, have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."

Nami nilisema, “Yahwe unihurumie! Uniponye, kwa maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”

5 My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?"

Adui zangu huongea maovu dhidi yangu, wakisema, 'Atakufa lini na jina lake lipotee?'

6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

Adui yangu ajapo kuniona, huongea mambo yasiyo na maana; moyo wake hukusanya maafa yangu kwa ajili yake mwenyewe; na aondokapo kwangu, yeye huwaambia watu wengine kuhusu hayo.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

Wale wote wanaonichukia kwa pamoja hunon'gona dhidi yangu; nao wanafarijika kwa ajili ya maumivu yangu.

8 "A wicked thing is poured out on him; and he who lies down will not rise again."

Wakisema, “Gonjwa baya limemshikilia yeye haswa; na sasa kuwa amelala kitandani, hatainuka kamwe.”

9 Even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Kweli, hata rafiki yangu wa karibu, ambae nilimuamini, aliye kula mkate wangu, ameinua kisigino chake dhidi yangu.

10 But you, YHWH, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

Bali wewe, Yahwe, unihurumie na uniinue ili kwamba niwalipizie kisasi.

11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

Na hivi nitajua kuwa unafurahishwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hatafurahia kunishinda.

12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

Kwangu mimi, wewe unanisaidia katika uadilifu wangu na utaniweka mbele ya uso wako milele.

13 Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.

Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asifiwe milele na milele. Amen na Amen. Kitabu ya Pili
