Zaburi 41
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Heri mtu yule anayemjali mnyonge, Bwana atamwokoa wakati wa shida.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Happy is he that careth for the poor: on the day of evil will the Lord deliver him.
2 Bwana atamlinda na kuyahifadhi maisha yake, atambariki katika nchi na hatamwacha katika tamaa ya adui zake.
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy on the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the revengeful desire of his enemies.
3 Bwana atamtegemeza awapo mgonjwa kitandani, atamwinua kutoka kitandani mwake.
The Lord will sustain him upon the bed of painful disease: thou changest all his couch in his sickness.
4 Nilisema, “Ee Bwana nihurumie, niponye, maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
I said, Lord, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Adui zangu wanasema kwa hila, “Lini atakufa, na jina lake litokomee kabisa.”
My enemies speak evil of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
6 Kila anapokuja mtu kunitazama, huzungumza uongo, huku moyo wake hukusanya masingizio; kisha huondoka na kuyasambaza huku na huko.
And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsely: his heart gathereth wickedness to itself; he goeth abroad [and] speaketh it.
7 Adui zangu wote hunongʼonezana dhidi yangu, hao huniwazia mabaya sana, wakisema,
Altogether whisper against me all that hate me: against me do they devise my injury.
8 “Ugonjwa mbaya sana umempata, kamwe hatainuka tena kitandani mwake.”
“His godless deed [say they] is poured out over him: as he lieth there he will never more rise up again.”
9 Hata rafiki yangu wa karibu niliyemwamini, yule aliyekula chakula changu ameniinulia kisigino chake.
Yea, even the man that should have sought my welfare, in whom I trusted, who eateth my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, nihurumie, ukaniinue tena, ili niweze kuwalipiza kisasi.
But thou, O Lord, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite it unto them.
11 Najua kwamba wapendezwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hanishindi.
By this do I know that thou art pleased with me, that my enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Katika uadilifu wangu unanitegemeza na kuniweka kwenye uwepo wako milele.
But as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and placest me before thy presence for ever.
13 Msifuni Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. BEGIM
