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 you, O Lord; for you have 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 you, and you did heal me.
O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Hades, you have delivered me from [amongst] them that go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwimbieni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake; lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
Sing to the Lord, you 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 wait 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 your good pleasure you did add strength to my beauty: but you did turn away your face, and I was troubled.
8 Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:
To you, 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 you? or shall it declare your 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,
You have turned my mourning into joy for me: you have tore 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 you, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
