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.

For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.

2 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, nilikuita unisaidie na wewe umeniponya.

O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and thou didst heal me.

3 Ee Bwana, umenitoa Kuzimu, umeniokoa nisishuke kwenye shimo la mauti. (Sheol h7585)

O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from Hades, thou hast delivered me from [among] them that go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Mwimbieni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake; lisifuni jina lake takatifu.

Sing to the Lord, ye his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.

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 anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.

6 Nilipofanikiwa nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”

And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

7 Ee Bwana, uliponijalia, uliuimarisha mlima wangu, lakini ulipouficha uso wako nilifadhaika.

O Lord, in thy good pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty: but thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.

8 Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:

To thee, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.

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, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to thee? or shall it declare thy truth?

10 Ee Bwana, unisikie na kunihurumia, Ee Bwana, uwe msaada wangu.”

The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.

11 Uligeuza maombolezo yangu kuwa kucheza, ulinivua nguo za gunia ukanivika shangwe,

Thou hast turned my mourning into joy for me: thou hast rent off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 ili moyo wangu uweze kukusifu na usikae kimya. Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru milele.

that my glory may sing praise to thee, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
