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.
For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
2 Enyi watu, mtabadilisha utukufu wangu kuwa aibu mpaka lini? Mtapenda udanganyifu na kufuata miungu ya uongo mpaka lini?
You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (Selah)
3 Fahamuni hakika kwamba Bwana amewatenga wale wamchao kwa ajili yake; Bwana atanisikia nimwitapo.
But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Katika hasira yako, usitende dhambi. Mkiwa vitandani mwenu, mtulie kimya mkiichunguza mioyo yenu.
Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
5 Toeni dhabihu zilizo haki; mtegemeeni Bwana.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Wengi wanauliza, “Ni nani awezaye kutuonyesha jema lolote?” Ee Bwana, tuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
7 Wewe umejaza moyo wangu kwa furaha kubwa kuliko watu waliopata nafaka na divai kwa wingi.
You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
8 Nitajilaza chini na kulala kwa amani, kwa kuwa wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, waniwezesha kukaa kwa salama.
It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
