Psalms 90
1 A Prayer by Moses, the Man of God. Lord! a dwelling-place, hast, thou, become to us, From generation to generation:
Bwana, wewe umekuwa kimbilio letu 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 milima haijaumbwa, wala haujaumba nchi na dunia, tangu milele na milele, wewe ni Mungu.
3 Thou causest man to return unto dust, And hast said—Return, ye sons of Adam!
Humrudisha mtu mavumbini, na kusema, “Rudi, ewe uzao wa mwanadmu.
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 miaka elfu machoni pako ni kama jana ipitapo, na kama saa wakati wa usiku.
5 Thou hast snatched them away, A sleep, do they become, In the morning, [they are] like grass that shooteth up,
Huwafagia kama vile kwa mafuliko nao hulala; na wakati wa asubuhi wako kama majani yameayo.
6 In the morning, it sprouteth and shooteth up, By the evening, it is cut down and withered.
Asubuhi yachipuka na kumea; jioni yakatika na kukauka.
7 For we are consumed in thine anger, And, in thy wrath, are we dismayed;
Hakika, tumeangamizwa kwa hasira yako, na gadhabu yako inatuogopesha sana.
8 Thou hast set, Our iniquities before thee, Our secret near the luminary of thy face.
Umeudhihirisha uovu wetu mbele zako, na dhambi zetu zilizofichika katika nuru ya uwepo wako.
9 For, all our days, decline in thy wrath, —We end our years like a sigh.
Uhai wetu unatoweka chini ya gadhabu yako; Miaka yetu inapita haraka kama pumzi.
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.
Miaka yetu ni sabini, au themanini tukiwa na afya; lakini hata hivyo miaka yetu mizuri imetiwa alama ya taabu na huzuni. Ndiyo, inapita haraka, kisha tunatoweka.
11 Who knoweth the strength of thine anger? Even, according to the fear of thee, is thy wrath!
Ni nani ajuaye kiwango cha hasira yako, na ghadhabu yako ambayo iko sawa na hofu yako?
12 How to number our days, so grant us to know, That we may win us a heart that hath wisdom.
Hivyo utufundishe sisi kuyafikiria maisha yetu ili kwamba tuweze kuishi kwa hekima.
13 Return, Yahweh, oh how long? And have compassion upon thy servants;
Ugeuke, Ee Yahwe! Mpaka lini itakuwa hivi? Uwahurumie watumishi wako.
14 Satisfy us, in the morning, with thy lovingkindness, That we may shout aloud and be glad, Throughout all our days.
Ututosheleze sisi wakati wa asubuhi kwa uaminifu wa agano lako ili kwamba tuweze kufurahi na kushangilia siku zote za maisha yetu.
15 Make us glad, according to, The days thou hast humbled us, The years we have seen misfortune:
Utufurahishe kwa uwiano sawa na zile siku ulizo tutesa na kwa ile miaka tuliyopitia taabu.
16 Let thy work, appear unto thy servants, And, thy majesty, upon their children;
Watumishi wako na waione kazi yako, na watoto wetu wauone ukuu enzi yako.
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.
Na neema ya Bwana Mungu wetu iwe yetu; fanikisha kazi za mikono yetu; hakika, fanikisha kazi ya mikono yetu.
