Zaburi 4
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nijibu nikuitapo, Ee Mungu wangu mwenye haki! Nipumzishe katika shida zangu; nirehemu, usikie ombi langu.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor me, and hear my prayer.
2 Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
3 Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 Wengi wanauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kutuonyesha jema lolote?” Ee Bwana, tuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
