Zaburi 130

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Kutoka vilindini ninakulilia, Ee Bwana.

A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

2 Ee Bwana, sikia sauti yangu. Masikio yako na yawe masikivu kwa kilio changu unihurumie.

Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.

3 Kama wewe, Ee Bwana, ungeweka kumbukumbu ya dhambi, Ee Bwana, ni nani angeliweza kusimama?

O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, kwa hiyo wewe unaogopwa.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.

5 Namngojea Bwana, nafsi yangu inangojea, katika neno lake naweka tumaini langu.

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.

6 Nafsi yangu inamngojea Bwana kuliko walinzi waingojeavyo asubuhi, naam, kuliko walinzi waingojeavyo asubuhi.

My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.

7 Ee Israeli, mtumaini Bwana, maana kwa Bwana kuna upendo usiokoma, na kwake kuna ukombozi kamili.

O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.

8 Yeye mwenyewe ataikomboa Israeli kutoka dhambi zao zote.

And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
