Zaburi 130

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

“A song of the degrees.” Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.

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

Lord, listen to my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, kwa hiyo wewe unaogopwa.

But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.

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

I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.

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

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning expect the morning.

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

Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;

8 Yeye mwenyewe ataikomboa Israeli kutoka dhambi zao zote.

And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
