Psalms 90
1 A Prayer by Moses, the Man of God. Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:
Maombi ya Mose, mtu wa Mungu. Bwana, wewe umekuwa makao yetu katika vizazi vyote.
2 Before, the mountains, were born, Or thou hadst brought forth the earth and the world, Even, from age to age, thou, [wast] GOD.
Kabla ya kuzaliwa milima au hujaumba dunia na ulimwengu, wewe ni Mungu tangu milele hata milele.
3 Thou causest man to return unto dust, And hast said—Return, ye sons of Adam!
Huwarudisha watu mavumbini, ukisema, “Rudini mavumbini, enyi wanadamu.”
4 For, a thousand years, in thine eyes, [are], As yesterday, in that it passed away, Or [as] a watch in the night.
Kwa maana kwako miaka elfu ni kama siku moja iliyokwisha pita, au kama kesha la usiku.
5 Thou hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, [they are] like grass that shooteth up,
Unawatowesha wanadamu katika usingizi wa kifo, nao ni kama majani machanga ya asubuhi:
6 In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
ingawa asubuhi yanachipua, ifikapo jioni huwa yamenyauka na kukauka.
7 For we are consumed in thine anger, And, in thy wrath, are we dismayed;
Tumeangamizwa kwa hasira yako na tumetishwa kwa ghadhabu yako.
8 Thou hast set, Our iniquities before thee, Our secret near the luminary of thy face.
Umeyaweka maovu yetu mbele yako, dhambi zetu za siri katika nuru ya uwepo wako.
9 For, all our days, decline in thy wrath, —We end our years like a sigh.
Tumeishi siku zetu zote chini ya ghadhabu yako, tunamaliza miaka yetu kwa kuomboleza.
10 The days of our years, have, in them, three score years and ten, And, if, by reason of strength, they have fourscore years, Yet, their boast, is labour and sorrow, For it hath passed quickly, and we have flown away.
Siku zetu za kuishi ni miaka sabini, au miaka themanini ikiwa tuna nguvu, lakini yote ni ya shida na taabu, nazo zapita haraka, nasi twatoweka.
11 Who knoweth the strength of thine anger? Even, according to the fear of thee, is thy wrath!
Ni nani ajuaye nguvu za hasira yako? Kwa maana ghadhabu yako ni kubwa kama hofu tunayopaswa kuwa nayo kwako.
12 How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.
Tufundishe kuzihesabu siku zetu vizuri, ili tujipatie moyo wa hekima.
13 Return, Yahweh, oh how long? And have compassion upon thy servants;
Ee Bwana, uwe na huruma! Utakawia hata lini? Wahurumie watumishi wako.
14 Satisfy us, in the morning, with thy lovingkindness, That we may shout aloud and be glad, Throughout all our days.
Tushibishe asubuhi kwa upendo wako usiokoma, ili tuweze kuimba kwa shangwe na kufurahi siku zetu zote.
15 Make us glad, according to, The days thou hast humbled us, The years we have seen misfortune:
Utufurahishe kulingana na siku ulizotuadhibu, kulingana na miaka tuliyotaabika.
16 Let thy work, appear unto thy servants, And, thy majesty, upon their children;
Matendo yako na yaonekane kwa watumishi wako, utukufu wako kwa watoto wao.
17 And let the delightfulness of Adonay our God be upon us, —And, the work of our hands, establish thou upon us, Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
Wema wa Bwana Mungu wetu uwe juu yetu; uzithibitishe kazi za mikono yetu: naam, uzithibitishe kazi za mikono yetu.
