< Psalms 141 >

1 A psalm of David O Yahweh I call out to you make haste! to me give ear to! voice my when call I to you.
Ee Yahwe, ninakulilia wewe; uje upesi kwangu. Unisikilize nikuitapo.
2 May it be established prayer my incense before you [the] raising of hands my an offering of evening.
Maombi yangu na yawe kama uvumba mbele zako; mikono yangu iliyoinuliwa na iwe kama dhabihu ya jioni.
3 Set! O Yahweh a guard for mouth my keep watch! over [the] door of lips my.
Ee Yahwe, uweke mlinzi kinywani mwangu; mngojezi malangoni pa midomo yangu.
4 May not you turn heart my to anything - evil to practice practices - in wickedness with people [who] do wickedness and not I will eat in delicacies their.
Usiruhusu tamaa ya moyo wangu kutamani uovu wowote wala kushiriki katika matendo ya dhambi na watu waishio maovuni. Nisile vyakula vyao vya anasa.
5 Let him strike me a righteous [person] - loyalty and let him rebuke me oil of head may not it refuse head my for still and prayer my [is] on evil deeds their.
Mwenye haki na anipige; nao utakuwa ni wema kwangu. Anirudi; itakuwa kama mafuta kichwani pangu; kichwa changu na kisikatae kupokea. Lakini maombi yangu siku zote yatakuwa dhidi ya matendo yao mauvu.
6 They have been thrown down at [the] hands of a rock judges their and they will hear words my for they are pleasant.
Viongozi wao watatupwa chini toka juu mlimani; watayasikia maneno yangu kuwa ni matamu.
7 Like [one who] plows and [who] breaks up the earth they have been scattered bones our to [the] mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Watalazimika kusema, “Kama vile jembe moja livunjapo ardhi, hivyo mifupa yetu imesambaratishwa kinywani pa kuzimu.” (Sheol h7585)
8 For [are] to you - (O Yahweh *L(ah+b)*) O Lord eyes my in you I take refuge may not you lay bare life my.
Hakika macho yangu yanakutazama wewe, Yahwe, Bwana; katika wewe napata kimbilio; usiiache nafsi yangu.
9 Keep me from [the] hands of [the] trap [which] they have laid for me and [the] snares of [those who] do wickedness.
Unilinde dhidi ya mitego waliyoiweka kwa ajili yangu, na matanzi yao watendao maovu.
10 Let them fall in own nets his wicked [people] together I until I will pass by.
Waovu na waangukie kwenye nyavu zao wenywe pindi mimi nitorokapo.
