Zaburi 22
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa utenzi wa “Kulungu wa Alfajiri.” Zaburi ya Daudi. Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha? Kwa nini uko mbali hivyo kuniokoa? Mbali hivyo na maneno ya kuugua kwangu?
To him that excelleth upon Aiieleth Hasshahar. A Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from mine health, and from the wordes of my roaring?
2 Ee Mungu wangu, ninalia mchana, lakini hunijibu, hata usiku, sinyamazi.
O my God, I crie by day, but thou hearest not, and by night, but haue no audience.
3 Hata hivyo umesimikwa katika kiti cha enzi kama Uliye Mtakatifu; wewe ni sifa ya Israeli.
But thou art holy, and doest inhabite the prayses of Israel.
4 Kwako wewe baba zetu waliweka tumaini lao, walikutumaini nawe ukawaokoa.
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didest deliuer them.
5 Walikulilia wewe na ukawaokoa, walikutegemea wewe nao hawakuaibika.
They called vpon thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 Mimi ni mnyoo wala si mwanadamu, wanaume wamenibeza, na watu wamenidharau.
But I am a worme, and not a man: a shame of men, and the contempt of the people.
7 Wote wanionao hunidhihaki, hunivurumishia matusi, wakitikisa vichwa vyao:
All they that see me, haue me in derision: they make a mowe and nod the head, saying,
8 Husema, “Anamtegemea Bwana, basi Bwana na amwokoe. Amkomboe basi, kwa maana anapendezwa naye.”
He trusted in the Lord, let him deliuer him: let him saue him, seeing he loueth him.
9 Hata hivyo ulinitoa tumboni, ukanifanya nikutegemee, hata nilipokuwa ninanyonya matiti ya mama yangu.
But thou didest draw me out of ye wombe: thou gauest me hope, euen at my mothers breasts.
10 Nimekabidhiwa kwako tangu kuzaliwa, toka tumboni mwa mama yangu umekuwa Mungu wangu.
I was cast vpon thee, euen from ye wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly.
11 Usiwe mbali nami, kwa maana shida iko karibu na hakuna wa kunisaidia.
Be not farre from me, because trouble is neere: for there is none to helpe me.
12 Mafahali wengi wamenizunguka, mafahali wa Bashani wenye nguvu wamenizingira.
Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.
13 Simba wangurumao wanaorarua mawindo yao hupanua vinywa vyao dhidi yangu.
They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.
14 Nimemiminwa kama maji, mifupa yangu yote imetoka katika viungo vyake. Moyo wangu umegeuka kuwa nta, umeyeyuka ndani yangu.
I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of ioynt: mine heart is like waxe: it is molten in the middes of my bowels.
15 Nguvu zangu zimekauka kama kigae, ulimi wangu umegandamana na kaakaa la kinywa changu, kwa sababu umenilaza katika mavumbi ya kifo.
My strength is dryed vp like a potsheard, and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 Mbwa wamenizunguka, kundi la watu waovu limenizingira, wametoboa mikono yangu na miguu yangu.
For dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.
17 Naweza kuhesabu mifupa yangu yote, watu wananikodolea macho na kunisimanga.
I may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.
18 Wanagawana nguo zangu wao kwa wao, na vazi langu wanalipigia kura.
They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.
19 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, usiwe mbali. Ee Nguvu yangu, uje haraka unisaidie.
But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.
20 Okoa maisha yangu na upanga, uhai wangu wa thamani kutoka nguvu za mbwa.
Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.
21 Niokoe kutoka kinywani mwa simba, niokoe kutoka pembe za mafahali mwitu.
Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.
22 Nitalitangaza jina lako kwa ndugu zangu, katika kusanyiko nitakusifu wewe.
I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,
23 Ninyi ambao mnamcha Bwana, msifuni! Ninyi nyote wazao wote wa Yakobo, mheshimuni yeye! Mcheni yeye, ninyi wazao wote wa Israeli!
Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.
24 Kwa maana hakupuuza wala kudharau mateso ya aliyeonewa; hakumficha uso wake bali alisikiliza kilio chake ili amsaidie.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.
25 Kwako wewe hutoka kiini cha sifa zangu katika kusanyiko kubwa, nitatimiza nadhiri zangu mbele ya wale wakuchao wewe.
My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.
26 Maskini watakula na kushiba, wale wamtafutao Bwana watamsifu: mioyo yenu na iishi milele!
The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.
27 Miisho yote ya dunia itakumbuka na kumgeukia Bwana, nazo jamaa zote za mataifa watasujudu mbele zake,
All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 kwa maana ufalme ni wa Bwana naye hutawala juu ya mataifa.
For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.
29 Matajiri wote wa dunia watasherehekea na kuabudu. Wote waendao mavumbini watapiga magoti mbele yake, wote ambao hawawezi kudumisha uhai wao.
All they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.
30 Wazao wa baadaye watamtumikia yeye; vizazi vijavyo vitajulishwa habari za Bwana.
Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
31 Watatangaza haki yake kwa watu ambao hawajazaliwa bado, kwa maana yeye ametenda hili.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
