Psalms 28
1 David’s. Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, —lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.
Yahwe, ninalia; mwamba wangu, usinipuuze. Ikiwa haunijibu, nitaungana na wale waendao chini kaburini.
2 Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine.
Sikia kilio cha kusihi kwangu pale niitapo msaada kutoka kwako, niinuapo mikono yangu mbele ya mahali patakatifu zaidi!
3 Do not drag me away—with the lawless, or with the workers of iniquity, —who speak peaceably with their neighbours, but, wrong, is in their heart.
Usiniburute pamoja na waovu, wale wafanyao uovu, waongeao amani na majirani zao lakini mioyoni mwao mna uovu.
4 Give them, according to their deed, and, according to the wrong of their practices, —According to the work of their own hands, give thou unto them, Bring back their own dealing to themselves.
Uwape kulingana na sitahili ya matendo yao na uwalipe kulingana na madai ya maovu yao, uwalipe kwa ajili ya kazi ya mikono yao na uwape kile wanachostahili.
5 Because they heed not The Deeds of Yahweh, or the Work of his hands, he will pull them down, and not build them.
Kwa sababu hawayaelewi matendo ya Yahwe wala kazi ya mikono yake, atawakanyaga kanyaga chini na hata wajenga tena wao.
6 Blessed be Yahweh, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplication.
Abarikiwe Yahwe kwa sababu yeye amesikia sauti ya kusihi kwangu!
7 Yahweh, is my strength and my shield, In him, hath trusted my heart, and I have found help, —Therefore hath my heart danced for joy, and, with my song, do I praise him.
Yahwe ni nguvu yangu na ngao yangu; moyo wangu wa humwamini yeye, na ninasaidiwa. Kwa hiyo moyo wangu hufurahia sana, nami nitamsifu yeye kwa kuimba.
8 Yahweh, is strength to his people, —And, the all-saving refuge of his Anointed One, is he!
Yahwe ni nguvu ya watu wake, naye ni mkombozi salama wa wapakwa mafuta wake.
9 Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age-abiding.
Uwaokoe watu wako na uwabariki warithi wako. Uwe mchungaji wao na uwabebe milele.
