Zaburi 6

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Mtindo wa sheminithi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, usinikemee katika hasira yako, wala usiniadhibu katika ghadhabu yako.

O YHWH, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Unirehemu Bwana, kwa maana nimedhoofika; Ee Bwana, uniponye, kwa maana mifupa yangu ina maumivu makali.

Have mercy upon me, O YHWH; for I am weak: O YHWH, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3 Nafsi yangu ina uchungu mwingi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana, mpaka lini?

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O YHWH, how long?

4 Geuka Ee Bwana, unikomboe, uniokoe kwa sababu ya fadhili zako.

Return, O YHWH, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

5 Hakuna mtu anayekukumbuka akiwa amekufa. Ni nani awezaye kukusifu akiwa kuzimu? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

6 Nimechakaa kwa kulia kwa huzuni; usiku kucha nafurikisha kitanda changu kwa machozi; nimelowesha viti vyangu vya fahari kwa machozi.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

7 Macho yangu yamedhoofika kwa kuhuzunika, yamedhoofika kwa sababu ya adui zangu wote.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8 Kaeni mbali nami, ninyi nyote mtendao mabaya, kwa maana Bwana amesikia kulia kwangu.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for YHWH hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Bwana amesikia kilio changu kwa huruma, Bwana amekubali sala yangu.

YHWH hath heard my supplication; YHWH will receive my prayer.

10 Adui zangu wote wataaibika na kufadhaika, watarudi nyuma kwa aibu ya ghafula.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
