Zaburi 123

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Ninayainua macho yangu kwako, kwako wewe ambaye kiti chako cha enzi kiko mbinguni.

`The song of grecis. To thee Y haue reisid myn iyen; that dwellist in heuenes.

2 Kama vile macho ya watumwa yatazamavyo mkono wa bwana wao, kama vile macho ya mtumishi wa kike yatazamavyo mkono wa bibi yake, ndivyo macho yetu yamtazamavyo Bwana Mungu wetu, mpaka atakapotuhurumia.

Lo! as the iyen of seruauntis; ben in the hondis of her lordis. As the iyen of the handmaide ben in the hondis of her ladi; so oure iyen ben to oure Lord God, til he haue mercy on vs.

3 Uturehemu, Ee Bwana, uturehemu, kwa maana tumevumilia dharau nyingi.

Lord, haue thou merci on vs, haue thou merci on vs; for we ben myche fillid with dispisyng.

4 Tumevumilia dhihaka nyingi kutoka kwa wenye kiburi, dharau nyingi kutoka kwa wenye majivuno.

For oure soule is myche fillid; we ben schenschipe to hem that ben abundaunte with richessis, and dispising to proude men.
