< Zaburi 132 >

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Ee Bwana, mkumbuke Daudi na taabu zote alizozistahimili.
A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David [and] all his afflictions;
2 Aliapa kiapo kwa Bwana na akaweka nadhiri kwa Yule Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo:
How he swore to the LORD, [and] vowed to the mighty [God] of Jacob;
3 “Sitaingia nyumbani mwangu au kwenda kitandani mwangu:
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 sitaruhusu usingizi katika macho yangu, wala kope zangu kusinzia,
I will not give sleep to my eyes, [or] slumber to my eyelids,
5 mpaka nitakapompatia Bwana mahali, makao kwa ajili ya Yule Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo.”
Until I find a place for the LORD, a habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
6 Tulisikia habari hii huko Efrathi, tulikutana nayo katika mashamba ya Yaara:
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 “Twendeni kwenye makao yake, na tuabudu kwenye kiti cha kuwekea miguu yake;
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 inuka, Ee Bwana, uje mahali pako pa kupumzikia, wewe na Sanduku la nguvu zako.
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Makuhani wako na wavikwe haki, watakatifu wako na waimbe kwa furaha.”
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 Kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wako, usimkatae mpakwa mafuta wako.
For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thy anointed.
11 Bwana alimwapia Daudi kiapo, kiapo cha uhakika ambacho hatakitangua: “Nitamweka mmoja wa wazao wako mwenyewe katika kiti chako cha enzi,
The LORD hath sworn [in] truth to David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12 kama wanao watashika Agano langu na sheria ninazowafundisha, ndipo wana wao watarithi kiti chako cha enzi milele na milele.”
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them; their children also shall sit upon thy throne for ever.
13 Kwa maana Bwana ameichagua Sayuni, amepaonea shauku pawe maskani yake:
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired [it] for his habitation.
14 “Hapa ni mahali pangu pa kupumzika milele na milele; hapa ndipo nitakapoketi nikitawala, kwa sababu nimepaonea shauku:
This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 Nitambariki kwa kumpa mahitaji tele: nitashibisha maskini wake kwa chakula.
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Nitawavika makuhani wake wokovu, nao watakatifu wake watadumu wakiimba kwa furaha.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 “Hapa nitamchipushia Daudi pembe, na kuweka taa kwa ajili ya masiya wangu.
There will I make the horn of David to bud, I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 Adui zake nitawavika aibu, bali taji kichwani pake itangʼaa sana.”
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
