Psalms 141
1 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, ninakuita wewe, uje kwangu hima. Sikia sauti yangu ninapokuita.
2 My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.
Maombi yangu na yafike mbele zako kama uvumba; kuinua mikono yangu juu na kuwe kama dhabihu ya jioni.
3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
Ee Bwana, weka mlinzi kinywani mwangu, weka ulinzi mlangoni mwa midomo yangu.
4 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
Usiuache moyo wangu uvutwe katika jambo baya, nisije nikashiriki katika matendo maovu pamoja na watu watendao mabaya, wala nisije nikala vyakula vyao vya anasa.
5 The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.
Mtu mwenye haki na anipige: ni jambo la huruma; na anikemee: ni mafuta kichwani mwangu. Kichwa changu hakitalikataa. Hata hivyo, maombi yangu daima ni kinyume cha watenda mabaya,
6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
watawala wao watatupwa chini kutoka kwenye majabali, waovu watajifunza kwamba maneno yangu yalikuwa kweli.
7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
Watasema, “Kama mtu anavyolima na kuvunja ardhi, ndivyo mifupa yetu imetawanywa kwenye mlango wa kaburi.” (Sheol h7585)
8 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
Lakini nimekaza macho yangu kwako, Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, ndani yako nimekimbilia, usiniache nife.
9 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
Niepushe na mitego waliyonitegea, kutokana na mitego iliyotegwa na watenda mabaya.
10 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
Waovu na waanguke kwenye nyavu zao wenyewe, wakati mimi ninapita salama.
