Psalms 90
1 A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Bwana, wewe umekuwa kimbilio letu vizazi vyote.
2 Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
Kabla milima haijaumbwa, wala haujaumba nchi na dunia, tangu milele na milele, wewe ni Mungu.
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
Humrudisha mtu mavumbini, na kusema, “Rudi, ewe uzao wa mwanadmu.
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
Kwa maana miaka elfu machoni pako ni kama jana ipitapo, na kama saa wakati wa usiku.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
Huwafagia kama vile kwa mafuliko nao hulala; na wakati wa asubuhi wako kama majani yameayo.
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
Asubuhi yachipuka na kumea; jioni yakatika na kukauka.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
Hakika, tumeangamizwa kwa hasira yako, na gadhabu yako inatuogopesha sana.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
Umeudhihirisha uovu wetu mbele zako, na dhambi zetu zilizofichika katika nuru ya uwepo wako.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
Uhai wetu unatoweka chini ya gadhabu yako; Miaka yetu inapita haraka kama pumzi.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labour and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
Miaka yetu ni sabini, au themanini tukiwa na afya; lakini hata hivyo miaka yetu mizuri imetiwa alama ya taabu na huzuni. Ndiyo, inapita haraka, kisha tunatoweka.
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Ni nani ajuaye kiwango cha hasira yako, na ghadhabu yako ambayo iko sawa na hofu yako?
12 So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Hivyo utufundishe sisi kuyafikiria maisha yetu ili kwamba tuweze kuishi kwa hekima.
13 Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
Ugeuke, Ee Yahwe! Mpaka lini itakuwa hivi? Uwahurumie watumishi wako.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Ututosheleze sisi wakati wa asubuhi kwa uaminifu wa agano lako ili kwamba tuweze kufurahi na kushangilia siku zote za maisha yetu.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
Utufurahishe kwa uwiano sawa na zile siku ulizo tutesa na kwa ile miaka tuliyopitia taabu.
16 Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
Watumishi wako na waione kazi yako, na watoto wetu wauone ukuu enzi yako.
17 Let the favour of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Na neema ya Bwana Mungu wetu iwe yetu; fanikisha kazi za mikono yetu; hakika, fanikisha kazi ya mikono yetu.
