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. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? — for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

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

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine 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 Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

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

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

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

And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

6 Nitamwimbia Bwana, kwa kuwa amekuwa mwema kwangu.

I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
