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 for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, nilikuita unisaidie na wewe umeniponya.
LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have 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 to the LORD, you holy ones of his. 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. His favour is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes 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.
You, LORD, when you favoured me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, niliita, kwa Bwana niliomba rehema:
I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication 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 destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Ee Bwana, unisikie na kunihurumia, Ee Bwana, uwe msaada wangu.”
Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
11 Uligeuza maombolezo yangu kuwa kucheza, ulinivua nguo za gunia ukanivika shangwe,
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 ili moyo wangu uweze kukusifu na usikae kimya. Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru milele.
to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
