Zaburi 30
1 Utenzi wa kuweka wakfu hekalu. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitakutukuza wewe, Ee Bwana, kwa kuwa umeniinua kutoka vilindi, na hukuacha adui zangu washangilie juu yangu.
A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
2 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, nilikuita unisaidie na wewe umeniponya.
O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwimbieni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake; lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
5 Kwa maana hasira yake ni ya muda mfupi, bali upendo wake hudumu siku zote. Inawezekana kilio kiwepo usiku kucha, lakini asubuhi kukawa na furaha.
For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Nilipofanikiwa nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
7 Ee Bwana, uliponijalia, uliuimarisha mlima wangu, lakini ulipouficha uso wako nilifadhaika.
Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
8 Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:
My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
9 “Kuna faida gani katika kuangamia kwangu? Katika kushuka kwangu shimoni? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu? Je, yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
10 Ee Bwana, unisikie na kunihurumia, Ee Bwana, uwe msaada wangu.”
Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
11 Uligeuza maombolezo yangu kuwa kucheza, ulinivua nguo za gunia ukanivika shangwe,
By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
12 ili moyo wangu uweze kukusifu na usikae kimya. Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru milele.
So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
