Zaburi 65
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, sifa zakungojea katika Sayuni; kwako wewe nadhiri zetu zitatimizwa.
God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
2 Ewe usikiaye maombi, kwako wewe watu wote watakuja.
[because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
3 Tulipokuwa tumefunikwa kabisa na dhambi, wewe ulisamehe makosa yetu.
because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
4 Heri wale uliowachagua na kuwaleta karibu ili waishi katika nyua zako! Tunashibishwa kwa mema ya nyumba yako, mema ya Hekalu lako takatifu.
You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
5 Unatujibu kwa matendo ya kushangaza ya haki, Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, tumaini la miisho yote ya duniani na la bahari zilizo mbali sana,
[God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
6 uliyeumba milima kwa uwezo wako, ukiwa umejivika nguvu,
By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
7 uliyenyamazisha dhoruba za bahari, ngurumo za mawimbi yake, na ghasia za mataifa.
You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
8 Wale wanaoishi mbali sana wanaogopa maajabu yako, kule asubuhi ipambazukiapo na kule jioni inakofifilia umeziita nyimbo za furaha.
People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
9 Waitunza nchi na kuinyeshea, waitajirisha kwa wingi. Vijito vya Mungu vimejaa maji ili kuwapa watu nafaka, kwa maana wewe umeviamuru.
You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
10 Umeilowesha mifereji yake na kusawazisha kingo zake; umeilainisha kwa manyunyu na kuibariki mimea yake.
You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
11 Umeuvika mwaka taji ya baraka, magari yako yanafurika kwa wingi.
Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
12 Mbuga za majani za jangwani umezineemesha; vilima vimevikwa furaha.
The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
13 Penye nyanda za malisho pamejaa makundi ya wanyama, na mabonde yamepambwa kwa mavuno; vyote vinashangilia kwa furaha na kuimba.
The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
