Psalms 41
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Heri mtu yule anayemjali mnyonge, Bwana atamwokoa wakati wa shida.
2 Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!
Bwana atamlinda na kuyahifadhi maisha yake, atambariki katika nchi na hatamwacha katika tamaa ya adui zake.
3 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
Bwana atamtegemeza awapo mgonjwa kitandani, atamwinua kutoka kitandani mwake.
4 I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
Nilisema, “Ee Bwana nihurumie, niponye, maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
Adui zangu wanasema kwa hila, “Lini atakufa, na jina lake litokomee kabisa.”
6 And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
Kila anapokuja mtu kunitazama, huzungumza uongo, huku moyo wake hukusanya masingizio; kisha huondoka na kuyasambaza huku na huko.
7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
Adui zangu wote hunongʼonezana dhidi yangu, hao huniwazia mabaya sana, wakisema,
8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
“Ugonjwa mbaya sana umempata, kamwe hatainuka tena kitandani mwake.”
9 Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!
Hata rafiki yangu wa karibu niliyemwamini, yule aliyekula chakula changu ameniinulia kisigino chake.
10 But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, nihurumie, ukaniinue tena, ili niweze kuwalipiza kisasi.
11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
Najua kwamba wapendezwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hanishindi.
12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.
Katika uadilifu wangu unanitegemeza na kuniweka kwenye uwepo wako milele.
13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
Msifuni Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele.
