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 Dedication of the House; [a Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast raised me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

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

O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

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

O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

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

Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks 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 anger is but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.

6 Nilipofanikiwa nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

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

Thou, LORD, of thy favour hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

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

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made 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 the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

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

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

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

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded 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 praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
