Zaburi 31
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, nimekukimbilia wewe, usiache nikaaibika kamwe, kwa haki yako uniokoe.
To the choirmaster a psalm of David. In you O Yahweh I have taken refuge may not I be ashamed for ever in righteousness your deliver me.
2 Nitegee sikio lako, uje uniokoe haraka; uwe kwangu mwamba wa kimbilio, ngome imara ya kuniokoa.
Incline to me - ear your quickly deliver me become of me - a rock of refuge a house of strongholds to save me.
3 Kwa kuwa wewe ni mwamba wangu na ngome yangu, uniongoze na kunilinda kwa ajili ya jina lako.
For [are] rock my and stronghold my you and for [the] sake of name your you guide me and you lead me.
4 Uniepushe na mtego niliotegewa, maana wewe ndiwe kimbilio langu.
You will bring out me from [the] net which people have hidden for me for you [are] place of refuge my.
5 Ninaikabidhi roho yangu mikononi mwako, unikomboe Ee Bwana, uliye Mungu wa kweli.
In hand your I entrust spirit my you have redeemed me O Yahweh God of faithfulness.
6 Ninawachukia wale wanaongʼangʼania sanamu batili; mimi ninamtumaini Bwana.
I hate those [who] keep vanities of falsehood and I to Yahweh I trust.
7 Nitafurahia na kushangilia upendo wako, kwa kuwa uliona mateso yangu na ulijua maumivu ya nafsi yangu.
I will rejoice and I will be glad in covenant loyalty your that you saw affliction my you knew [the] troubles of self my.
8 Hukunikabidhi kwa adui yangu bali umeiweka miguu yangu mahali penye nafasi.
And not you delivered up me in [the] hand of an enemy you made stand in roomy place feet my.
9 Ee Bwana unihurumie, kwa kuwa niko kwenye shida; macho yangu yanafifia kwa huzuni, nafsi yangu na mwili wangu kwa sikitiko.
Show favor to me O Yahweh for it is distress to me it has wasted away with grief eye my being my and belly my.
10 Maisha yangu yamedhoofika kwa majonzi, naam, miaka yangu kwa kulia kwa maumivu makali; nguvu zangu zinaisha kwa ajili ya mateso, na mifupa yangu inachakaa.
For they have wasted away in sorrow life my and years my with groaning it has failed by iniquity my strength my and bones my they have wasted away.
11 Kwa sababu ya adui zangu wote, nimedharauliwa kabisa na jirani zangu, hata kwa rafiki zangu nimekuwa tisho, wale wanionao barabarani hunikimbia.
From all opposers my I have become a reproach and to neighbors my - exceedingly and a dread to acquaintances my [those who] see me in the street they flee from me.
12 Nimesahaulika miongoni mwao kama mtu aliyekufa, nimekuwa kama chombo cha mfinyanzi kilichovunjika.
I have been forgotten like a dead [person] from [the] heart I have become like a vessel [which] is destroyed.
13 Kwa maana nimesikia maneno niliyosingiziwa na wengi; vitisho viko pande zote; kwa kuwa wamefanya mashauri dhidi yangu, na kula njama kuniua.
For I have heard - [the] slander of many [people] terror [is] from around about when they seated themselves together on me to take life my they plotted.
14 Lakini mimi ninakutumaini wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana; nimesema, “Wewe ndiwe Mungu wangu.”
And I - on you I rely O Yahweh I say [are] God my you.
15 Siku za maisha yangu ziko mikononi mwako, uniokoe mikononi mwa adui zangu na wale wanifuatiao.
[are] in Hand your times my deliver me from [the] hand of enemies my and from pursuers my.
16 Mwangazie mtumishi wako uso wako, uniokoe kwa ajili ya upendo wako usiokoma.
Make shine! face your on servant your save me in covenant loyalty your.
17 Usiniache niaibike, Ee Bwana, kwa maana nimekulilia wewe, bali waovu waaibishwe na kunyamazishwa Kuzimu. (Sheol h7585)
O Yahweh may not I be ashamed for I have called out to you may they be ashamed wicked [people] may they be silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Midomo yao isemayo uongo na inyamazishwe, kwa maana kwa kiburi na dharau wao husema kwa majivuno dhidi ya wenye haki.
May they be dumb lips of falsehood which speak on [the] righteous arrogance with pride and contempt.
19 Tazama jinsi ulivyo mkuu wema wako, uliowawekea akiba wakuchao, ambao huwapa wale wakukimbiliao machoni pa watu.
How! great [is] goodness your which you have stored up for [those] fearing you [which] you have done for [those who] take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.
20 Unawahifadhi katika uvuli wa uwepo wako kutokana na hila za wanadamu; katika makao yako huwaweka salama kutokana na ndimi za mashtaka.
You hide them - in [the] hiding place of presence your from [the] conspiracies of man you hide them in a shelter from strife of tongues.
21 Atukuzwe Bwana, kwa kuwa amenionyesha upendo wake wa ajabu nilipokuwa katika mji uliozingirwa.
[be] blessed Yahweh for he has made wonderful covenant loyalty his to me in a city of siege.
22 Katika hofu yangu nilisema, “Nimekatiliwa mbali na macho yako!” Hata hivyo ulisikia kilio changu ukanihurumia nilipokuita unisaidie.
And I - I said when was hastening I I have been cut off from before eyes your nevertheless you heard [the] sound of supplications my when cried for help I to you.
23 Mpendeni Bwana ninyi watakatifu wake wote! Bwana huwahifadhi waaminifu, lakini wenye kiburi huwalipiza kikamilifu.
Love Yahweh O all faithful [people] his faithful [people] [is] preserving Yahweh and [is] repaying on excess [one who] does pride.
24 Kuweni hodari na mjipe moyo, ninyi nyote mnaomtumaini Bwana.
Be strong so may it show strength heart your O all those [who] wait for Yahweh.
