Zaburi 28
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Ninakuita wewe, Ee Bwana, Mwamba wangu; usiwe kwangu kama kiziwi. Kwa sababu ukinyamaza nitafanana na walioshuka shimoni.
BY DAVID. To You, O YHWH, I call, My rock, do not be silent to me! Lest You are silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.
2 Sikia kilio changu unihurumie ninapokuita kwa ajili ya msaada, niinuapo mikono yangu kuelekea Patakatifu pa Patakatifu pako.
Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your holy oracle.
3 Usiniburute pamoja na waovu, pamoja na hao watendao mabaya, ambao huzungumza na jirani zao maneno mazuri, lakini mioyoni mwao wameficha chuki.
Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.
4 Walipe sawasawa na matendo yao, sawasawa na matendo yao maovu; walipe sawasawa na kazi za mikono yao, uwalipe wanavyostahili.
Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Return their deed to them.
5 Kwa kuwa hawaheshimu kazi za Bwana, na yale ambayo mikono yake imetenda, atawabomoa na kamwe hatawajenga tena.
For they do not attend to the doing of YHWH, And to the work of His hands. He throws them down, And does not build them up.
6 Bwana asifiwe, kwa maana amesikia kilio changu nikimwomba anihurumie.
Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Bwana ni nguvu zangu na ngao yangu, moyo wangu umemtumaini yeye, nami nimesaidiwa. Moyo wangu unarukaruka kwa furaha nami nitamshukuru kwa wimbo.
YHWH [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exults, And I thank Him with my song.
8 Bwana ni nguvu ya watu wake, ngome ya wokovu kwa mpakwa mafuta wake.
YHWH [is] strength to him, Indeed, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
9 Waokoe watu wako na uubariki urithi wako; uwe mchungaji wao na uwabebe milele.
Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!
