Zaburi 13

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your face from me?

2 Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?

Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

3 Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.

Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.

Lest my enemy say, “I overcame him,” My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.

And I have trusted in Your kindness, My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

I sing to YHWH, For He has conferred benefits on me!
