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, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, 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 LORD; for I am withered away: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

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

My soul also is sore vexed: and thou, O LORD, how long?

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

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: save me for thy lovingkindness’ 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 Sheol 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; every 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 wasteth away because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

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

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

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

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

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

All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore vexed: they shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
