Psalms 132
1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Yahwe, kwa ajili ya Daudi kumbuka mateso yake yote.
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
Kumbuka ndiye aliye mwapia Yahwe, aliweka nadhiri kwa Shujaa wa Yakobo.
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
Alisema, sitaingia nyumbani mwangu wala sitaenda kitandani mwangu,
4 I will not sleep at all
sitayapa macho yangu usingizi wala kope zangu kupumzika
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
mpaka nitakapopata mahali kwa ajili ya Yahwe, na maskani kwa ajili ya Shujaa wa Yakobo.”
6 In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
Tazama tulisikia kuhusu hilo katika Efrata; tuliipata katika konde la Yearimu.
7 [Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
Tutaingia katika maskani ya Mungu; tutasujudu miguuni pake.
8 Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
Inuka, Ee Yahwe, uje mahali pako pa kupumzika, wewe na sanduku la nguvu zako!
9 I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
Makuhani wako na wavikwe uadilifu; waaminifu wako washangilie.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Kwa ajili ya mtumishi wako Daudi, usimuache mfalme wako uliye mpaka mafuta.
11 Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
Yahwe alimwapia Daudi kiapo cha uhakika, kiapo cha uhakika ambacho hatakivunja: “Nitamuweka mmoja wa wazawa wako kwenye kiti chako cha enzi.
12 If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
Kama wana wako watalishika agano langu na sheria ambazo nitawafundisha, watoto wao pia watakaa kwenye kiti chako cha enzi milele.”
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
Hakika Yahwe ameichagua Sayuni, ameitamani kwa ajili ya makao yake.
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
“Hapa ni mahali pangu pa kupumzika milele. Nitaishi hapa, kwa kuwa ninapatamani.
15 I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
Nitapabariki sana kwa mahitaji. Nitawatosheleza maskini wake kwa mkate.
16 I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
Nitawavisha makuhani wake kwa wokovu, waaminifu wake watashangilia kwa furaha.
17 There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
Hapo nitachipusha pembe kwa ajili ya Daudi na kuweka taa juu kwa ajili ya mpakwa mafuta wangu.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
Nitawavisha adui kwa aibu, bali juu yake taji yake itang'aa.”
