Zaburi 131

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Moyo wangu hauna kiburi, Ee Bwana, macho yangu hayajivuni; sijishughulishi na mambo makuu kunizidi wala mambo ya ajabu mno kwangu.

A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.

2 Lakini nimetuliza na kunyamazisha nafsi yangu; kama mtoto aliyeachishwa kunyonya na mama yake, kama mtoto aliyeachishwa kunyonya ndivyo ilivyo nafsi iliyoko ndani yangu.

When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul.

3 Ee Israeli, mtumaini Bwana tangu sasa na hata milele.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
