Zaburi 16
1 Utenzi wa Daudi. Ee Mungu, uniweke salama, kwa maana kwako nimekimbilia.
A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
2 Nilimwambia Bwana, “Wewe ndiwe Bwana wangu; pasipo wewe sina jambo jema.”
You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
3 Kwa habari ya watakatifu walioko duniani, ndio walio wa fahari ambao ninapendezwa nao.
To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
4 Huzuni itaongezeka kwa wale wanaokimbilia miungu mingine. Sitazimimina sadaka zao za damu au kutaja majina yao midomoni mwangu.
They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
5 Bwana umeniwekea fungu langu na kikombe changu; umeyafanya mambo yangu yote yawe salama.
Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
6 Alama za mipaka zimeniangukia mahali pazuri, hakika nimepata urithi mzuri.
Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
7 Nitamsifu Bwana ambaye hunishauri, hata wakati wa usiku moyo wangu hunifundisha.
I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
8 Nimemweka Bwana mbele yangu daima. Kwa sababu yuko mkono wangu wa kuume, sitatikisika.
I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
9 Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafurahia, na ulimi wangu unashangilia; mwili wangu nao utapumzika salama,
Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Umenijulisha njia ya uzima; utanijaza na furaha mbele zako, pamoja na furaha za milele katika mkono wako wa kuume.
You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
