Psalms 18
1 To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide: Lord, my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi mtumishi wa Bwana aliyomwimbia Bwana wakati Bwana alipomwokoa mikononi mwa adui zake wote, na pia mkononi mwa Sauli. Alisema hivi: Nakupenda wewe, Ee Bwana, nguvu yangu.
2 Mi God is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere.
Bwana ni mwamba wangu, ngome yangu na mwokozi wangu, Mungu wangu ni mwamba, ambaye kwake ninakimbilia. Yeye ni ngao yangu na pembe ya wokovu wangu, ngome yangu.
3 I schal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
Ninamwita Bwana anayestahili kusifiwa, nami ninaokolewa kutoka kwa adui zangu.
4 The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden me.
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka, mafuriko ya maangamizi yalinilemea.
Kamba za kuzimu zilinizunguka, mitego ya mauti ilinikabili. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris.
Katika shida yangu nalimwita Bwana, nilimlilia Mungu wangu anisaidie. Kutoka hekaluni mwake alisikia sauti yangu, kilio changu kikafika mbele zake, masikioni mwake.
7 The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem.
Dunia ilitetemeka na kutikisika, misingi ya milima ikatikisika, vilitetemeka kwa sababu alikuwa amekasirika.
8 Smoke stiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym.
Moshi ukapanda kutoka puani mwake, moto uteketezao ukatoka kinywani mwake, makaa ya moto yawakayo yakatoka ndani mwake.
9 He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet.
Akazipasua mbingu akashuka chini, mawingu meusi yalikuwa chini ya miguu yake.
10 And he stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.
Alipanda juu ya kerubi akaruka, akapaa juu kwa mbawa za upepo.
11 And he settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir.
Alifanya giza kuwa kitu chake cha kujifunika, hema lake kumzunguka, mawingu meusi ya mvua ya angani.
12 Ful cleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier.
Kutokana na mwanga wa uwepo wake mawingu yalisogea, ikanyesha mvua ya mawe na umeme wa radi.
13 And the Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun.
Bwana alinguruma kutoka mbinguni, sauti ya Aliye Juu Sana ilisikika.
14 And he sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men.
Aliipiga mishale yake na kutawanya adui, naam, umeme mwingi wa radi na kuwafukuza.
15 And the wellis of watris apperiden; and the foundementis of the erthe weren schewid. Lord, of thi blamyng; of the brething of the spirit of thin ire.
Mabonde ya bahari yalifunuliwa, na misingi ya dunia ikawa wazi kwa kukaripia kwako, Ee Bwana, kwa uvumi wa pumzi kutoka puani mwako.
16 He sente fro the hiyeste place, and took me; and he took me fro many watris.
Alinyoosha mkono kutoka juu na kunishika; alinitoa kutoka kilindi cha maji makuu.
17 He delyuerede me fro my strongeste enemyes; and fro hem that hatiden me, fro thei weren coumfortid on me.
Aliniokoa kutoka adui wangu mwenye nguvu nyingi, kutoka adui zangu waliokuwa na nguvu nyingi kuliko mimi.
18 Thei camen bifor me in the dai of my turment; and the Lord was maad my defendere.
Walinikabili siku ya msiba wangu, lakini Bwana alikuwa msaada wangu.
19 And he ledde out me in to breede; he maad me saaf, for he wolde me.
Alinileta nje mahali penye nafasi tele, akaniokoa kwa kuwa alipendezwa nami.
20 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me bi the clennesse of myn hondis.
Bwana alinitendea sawasawa na uadilifu wangu; sawasawa na usafi wa mikono yangu amenilipa.
21 For Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not vnfeithfuli fro my God.
Kwa maana nimezishika njia za Bwana; sijatenda ubaya nikamwacha Mungu wangu.
22 For alle hise domes ben in my siyt; and Y puttide not awei fro me hise riytfulnessis.
Sheria zake zote zi mbele yangu, wala sijayaacha maagizo yake.
23 And Y schal be vnwemmed with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse.
Nimekuwa sina hatia mbele zake, nami nimejilinda nisitende dhambi.
24 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen.
Bwana amenilipa sawasawa na uadilifu wangu; sawasawa na usafi wa mikono yangu machoni pake.
25 With the hooli, thou schalt be hooli; and with `a man innocent, thou schalt be innocent.
Kwa yeye aliye mwaminifu, unajionyesha kuwa mwaminifu, kwa asiye na hatia, unajionyesha kutokuwa na hatia.
26 And with a chosun man, thou schalt be chosun; and with a weiward man, thou schalt be weiward.
Kwa aliye mtakatifu, unajionyesha kuwa mtakatifu, lakini kwa aliyepotoka, unajionyesha kuwa mkaidi.
27 For thou schalt make saaf a meke puple; and thou schalt make meke the iyen of proude men.
Wewe huwaokoa wanyenyekevu, lakini huwashusha wenye kiburi.
28 For thou, Lord, liytnest my lanterne; my God, liytne thou my derknessis.
Wewe, Ee Bwana, unaifanya taa yangu iendelee kuwaka; Mungu wangu hulifanya giza langu kuwa mwanga.
29 For bi thee Y schal be delyuered fro temptacioun; and in my God Y schal `go ouer the wal.
Kwa msaada wako naweza kushinda jeshi, nikiwa pamoja na Mungu wangu nitaweza kuruka ukuta.
30 Mi God, his weie is vndefoulid, the speches of the Lord ben examyned bi fier; he is defendere of alle men hopynge in hym.
Kuhusu Mungu, njia yake ni kamilifu, neno la Bwana halina dosari. Yeye ni ngao kwa wote wanaokimbilia kwake.
31 For whi, who is God out takun the Lord? ethir who is God outakun oure God?
Kwa maana ni nani aliye Mungu zaidi ya Bwana? Ni nani aliye Mwamba isipokuwa Mungu wetu?
32 God that hath gird me with vertu; and hath set my weie vnwemmed.
Mungu ndiye anivikaye nguvu na kufanya njia yangu kuwa kamilifu.
33 Which made perfit my feet as of hertis; and ordeynynge me on hiye thingis.
Huifanya miguu yangu kama miguu ya kulungu, huniwezesha kusimama mahali palipo juu.
34 Which techith myn hondis to batel; and thou hast set myn armys as a brasun bouwe.
Huifundisha mikono yangu kupigana vita; mikono yangu inaweza kupinda upinde wa shaba.
35 And thou hast youe to me the kyueryng of thin helthe; and thi riythond hath vptake me. And thi chastisyng amendide me in to the ende; and thilke chastisyng of thee schal teche me.
Hunipa ngao yako ya ushindi, nao mkono wako wa kuume hunitegemeza, unajishusha chini ili kuniinua.
36 Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast.
Huyapanua mapito yangu, ili miguu yangu isiteleze.
37 Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen.
Niliwafuatia adui zangu na nikawapata, sikurudi nyuma mpaka walipoangamizwa.
38 I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
Niliwaseta hata hawakuweza kuinuka tena; walianguka chini ya miguu yangu.
39 And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast `supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me.
Ulinivika nguvu kwa ajili ya kupigana vita; uliwafanya adui zangu wasujudu miguuni pangu.
40 And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried `men hatynge me.
Uliwafanya adui zangu wageuke na kukimbia, nami nikawaangamiza adui zangu.
41 Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem.
Walipiga yowe, lakini hapakuwepo na yeyote wa kuwaokoa; walimlilia Bwana, lakini hakuwajibu.
42 And Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis.
Niliwaponda kama mavumbi yanayopeperushwa na upepo; niliwamwaga nje kama tope barabarani.
43 Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis.
Umeniokoa kutokana na mashambulizi ya watu; umenifanya kuwa kiongozi wa mataifa, watu ambao sikuwajua wananitumikia.
44 The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me.
Mara wanisikiapo hunitii, wageni hunyenyekea mbele yangu.
45 Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis.
Wote wanalegea, wanatoka katika ngome zao wakitetemeka.
46 The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid.
Bwana yu hai! Sifa ni kwa Mwamba wangu! Atukuzwe Mungu Mwokozi wangu!
47 God, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes.
Yeye ndiye Mungu anilipiziaye kisasi, awatiishaye mataifa chini yangu,
48 And thou schalt enhaunse me fro hem, that risen ayens me; thou schalt delyuere me fro a wickid man.
aniokoaye na adui zangu. Uliniinua juu ya adui zangu; uliniokoa toka kwa watu wajeuri.
49 Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name.
Kwa hiyo nitakusifu katikati ya mataifa, Ee Bwana; nitaliimbia sifa jina lako.
50 Magnyfiynge the helthis of his kyng; and doynge merci to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to the world.
Humpa mfalme wake ushindi mkuu, huonyesha fadhili zake kwa mpakwa mafuta wake, kwa Daudi na wazao wake milele.
