Psalms 6

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Mtindo wa sheminithi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, usinikemee katika hasira yako, wala usiniadhibu katika ghadhabu yako.

2 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Unirehemu Bwana, kwa maana nimedhoofika; Ee Bwana, uniponye, kwa maana mifupa yangu ina maumivu makali.

3 My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh—how long?

Nafsi yangu ina uchungu mwingi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana, mpaka lini?

4 Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

Geuka Ee Bwana, unikomboe, uniokoe kwa sababu ya fadhili zako.

5 For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)

Hakuna mtu anayekukumbuka akiwa amekufa. Ni nani awezaye kukusifu akiwa kuzimu? (Sheol h7585)

6 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.

Nimechakaa kwa kulia kwa huzuni; usiku kucha nafurikisha kitanda changu kwa machozi; nimelowesha viti vyangu vya fahari kwa machozi.

7 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

Macho yangu yamedhoofika kwa kuhuzunika, yamedhoofika kwa sababu ya adui zangu wote.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.

Kaeni mbali nami, ninyi nyote mtendao mabaya, kwa maana Bwana amesikia kulia kwangu.

9 Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

Bwana amesikia kilio changu kwa huruma, Bwana amekubali sala yangu.

10 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

Adui zangu wote wataaibika na kufadhaika, watarudi nyuma kwa aibu ya ghafula.
