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.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Unirehemu Bwana, kwa maana nimedhoofika; Ee Bwana, uniponye, kwa maana mifupa yangu ina maumivu makali.
Be gracious to me, Jehovah, for I am frail. Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are trembling.
3 Nafsi yangu ina uchungu mwingi. Mpaka lini, Ee Bwana, mpaka lini?
And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, Jehovah, how long?
4 Geuka Ee Bwana, unikomboe, uniokoe kwa sababu ya fadhili zako.
Return, Jehovah. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you 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. Every night I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.
7 Macho yangu yamedhoofika kwa kuhuzunika, yamedhoofika kwa sababu ya adui zangu wote.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Kaeni mbali nami, ninyi nyote mtendao mabaya, kwa maana Bwana amesikia kulia kwangu.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Bwana amesikia kilio changu kwa huruma, Bwana amekubali sala yangu.
Jehovah has heard my plea. Jehovah has accepted my prayer.
10 Adui zangu wote wataaibika na kufadhaika, watarudi nyuma kwa aibu ya ghafula.
May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.
