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 of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, nilikuita unisaidie na wewe umeniponya.
O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.
Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwimbieni Bwana, enyi watakatifu wake; lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory 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 wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
6 Nilipofanikiwa nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
7 Ee Bwana, uliponijalia, uliuimarisha mlima wangu, lakini ulipouficha uso wako nilifadhaika.
O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
8 Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.
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, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
10 Ee Bwana, unisikie na kunihurumia, Ee Bwana, uwe msaada wangu.”
The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
11 Uligeuza maombolezo yangu kuwa kucheza, ulinivua nguo za gunia ukanivika shangwe,
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
12 ili moyo wangu uweze kukusifu na usikae kimya. Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru milele.
To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
