< Zaburi 13 >
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana? Je, utanisahau milele? Utanificha uso wako mpaka lini?
To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your from me.
2 Nitapambana na mawazo yangu mpaka lini, na kila siku kuwa na majonzi moyoni mwangu? Adui zangu watanishinda mpaka lini?
Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my over me.
3 Nitazame, unijibu, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu. Yatie nuru macho yangu, ama sivyo nitalala usingizi wa mauti.
Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.
4 Adui yangu atasema, “Nimemshinda,” nao adui zangu watashangilia nitakapoanguka.
Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.
5 Lakini ninategemea upendo wako usiokoma; moyo wangu unashangilia katika wokovu wako.
And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your
6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.
I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.
