< Psalms 4 >
1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of David. When call I answer me - O God of righteousness my in the distress you have made wide for me show favor to me and hear prayer my.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nijibu nikuitapo, Ee Mungu wangu mwenye haki! Nipumzishe katika shida zangu; nirehemu, usikie ombi langu.
2 O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)
Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
3 And know that he has set apart Yahweh [the] faithful for himself Yahweh he will hear when call I to him.
Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
4 Tremble and may not you sin speak in heart your on bed your and be silent (Selah)
Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness and trust to Yahweh.
Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
6 Many [people] [are] saying who? will he show us good lift up! on us [the] light of face your O Yahweh.
Wengi wanauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kutuonyesha jema lolote?” Ee Bwana, tuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
7 You have put joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they abound.
Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
8 In peace together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
