Zaburi 41
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Heri mtu yule anayemjali mnyonge, Bwana atamwokoa wakati wa shida.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.
2 Bwana atamlinda na kuyahifadhi maisha yake, atambariki katika nchi na hatamwacha katika tamaa ya adui zake.
YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.
3 Bwana atamtegemeza awapo mgonjwa kitandani, atamwinua kutoka kitandani mwake.
YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.
4 Nilisema, “Ee Bwana nihurumie, niponye, maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”
5 Adui zangu wanasema kwa hila, “Lini atakufa, na jina lake litokomee kabisa.”
My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!
6 Kila anapokuja mtu kunitazama, huzungumza uongo, huku moyo wake hukusanya masingizio; kisha huondoka na kuyasambaza huku na huko.
And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.
7 Adui zangu wote hunongʼonezana dhidi yangu, hao huniwazia mabaya sana, wakisema,
All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8 “Ugonjwa mbaya sana umempata, kamwe hatainuka tena kitandani mwake.”
A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.
9 Hata rafiki yangu wa karibu niliyemwamini, yule aliyekula chakula changu ameniinulia kisigino chake.
Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,
10 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, nihurumie, ukaniinue tena, ili niweze kuwalipiza kisasi.
And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.
11 Najua kwamba wapendezwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hanishindi.
By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.
12 Katika uadilifu wangu unanitegemeza na kuniweka kwenye uwepo wako milele.
As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.
13 Msifuni Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele.
Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.
