< Zaburi 65 >
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, sifa zakungojea katika Sayuni; kwako wewe nadhiri zetu zitatimizwa.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. A Song. It is right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be made.
2 Ewe usikiaye maombi, kwako wewe watu wote watakuja.
To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.
3 Tulipokuwa tumefunikwa kabisa na dhambi, wewe ulisamehe makosa yetu.
Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take them away.
4 Heri wale uliowachagua na kuwaleta karibu ili waishi katika nyua zako! Tunashibishwa kwa mema ya nyumba yako, mema ya Hekalu lako takatifu.
Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.
5 Unatujibu kwa matendo ya kushangaza ya haki, Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, tumaini la miisho yote ya duniani na la bahari zilizo mbali sana,
You will give us an answer in righteousness by great acts of power, O God of our salvation; you who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of the far-off lands of the sea;
6 uliyeumba milima kwa uwezo wako, ukiwa umejivika nguvu,
The God by whose strength the mountains are fixed; who is robed with power:
7 uliyenyamazisha dhoruba za bahari, ngurumo za mawimbi yake, na ghasia za mataifa.
Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the sound of its waves.
8 Wale wanaoishi mbali sana wanaogopa maajabu yako, kule asubuhi ipambazukiapo na kule jioni inakofifilia umeziita nyimbo za furaha.
Those in the farthest parts of the earth have fear when they see your signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening are glad because of you.
9 Waitunza nchi na kuinyeshea, waitajirisha kwa wingi. Vijito vya Mungu vimejaa maji ili kuwapa watu nafaka, kwa maana wewe umeviamuru.
You have given your blessing to the earth, watering it and making it fertile; the river of God is full of water: and having made it ready, you give men grain.
10 Umeilowesha mifereji yake na kusawazisha kingo zake; umeilainisha kwa manyunyu na kuibariki mimea yake.
You make the ploughed lands full of water; you make smooth the slopes: you make the earth soft with showers, sending your blessing on its growth.
11 Umeuvika mwaka taji ya baraka, magari yako yanafurika kwa wingi.
The year is crowned with the good you give; life-giving rain is dropping from your footsteps,
12 Mbuga za majani za jangwani umezineemesha; vilima vimevikwa furaha.
Falling on the grass of the waste land: and the little hills are glad on every side.
13 Penye nyanda za malisho pamejaa makundi ya wanyama, na mabonde yamepambwa kwa mavuno; vyote vinashangilia kwa furaha na kuimba.
The grass-land is thick with flocks; the valleys are full of grain; they give glad cries and songs of joy.
