Psalms 139
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. LORD, you have searched me, and you know me.
Ee Yahwe, wewe umenichunguza, na unanijua.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
Wewe unajua nikaapo na niinukapo; unayajua mawazo yangu tokea mbali sana.
3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Unachunguza wenendo wangu na kulala kwangu; unazijua njia zangu zote.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, LORD, you know it altogether.
Kabla hakujawa na neno kwenye ulimi wangu, wewe unalijua kabisa, Yahwe.
5 You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
Nyuma yangu na mbele yangu unanizunguka na kuniwekea mkono wako.
6 This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.
Maarifa hayo ni mengi yananizidi mimi; yako juu sana, nami siwezi kuyafikia.
7 Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
Niende wapi mbali na roho yako? Niende wapi niukimbie uwepo wako?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! (Sheol h7585)
Kama nikipaa mbinguni, uko huko; kama nikifanya kitanda changu Kuzimuni, tazama, uko huko. (Sheol h7585)
9 If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Kama nikipaa kwa mbawa za asubuhi na kwenda kuishi pande za mwisho wa bahari,
10 even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
hata huko mkono wako utaniongoza, mkono wako wa kuume utanishika.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”
Kama nikisema, “Hakika giza litanifunika, na nuru inizungukayo itakuwa usiku,”
12 even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
Hata giza lisingweza kuwa giza kwako. Usiku ungeng'aa kama mchana, maana giza na nuru kwako vinafanana.
13 For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Wewe uliumba sehemu zangu za ndani; uliniumba tumboni mwa mama yangu.
14 I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
Nitakusifu, kwa maana nimeumbwa kwa jinsi ya ajabu. Nafsi yangu yalijua hili vizuri sana.
15 My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.
Mifupa yangu haikusitirika kwako nilipoumbwa kwa siri, nilipoumbwa kwa ustadi pande za chini za nchi.
16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Uliniona ndani ya tumbo; siku zote zilizo pangwa kwangu ziliandikwa kitabuni mwako hata kabla ya siku ya kwanza kutokea.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!
Ni jinsi gani mawazo yako ni ya thamani kwangu, Mungu! Njinsi ilivyo kubwa jumla zake!
18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
Kama nikijaribu kuyahesabu ni mengi kuliko mchanga. Niamkapo bado niko na wewe.
19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
Ee Mungu, kama ungewaua waovu; ondokeni kwangu enyi watu wenye vurugu.
20 For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.
Wanakuasi wewe na kutenda udanganyifu; adui zako wananena uongo.
21 LORD, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
Je, siwachukii hao, wale wakuchukiao Yahwe? Je, siwadharau wale wanao inuka dhidi yako?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
Nawachukia kabisa; wamekuwa adui zangu.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.
Ee Mungu, unichunguze na kuujua moyo wangu; unijaribu na uyajue mawazo yangu.
24 See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
Uone kama kuna njia ya uovu ndani yangu, na uniongoze katika njia ya milele.
