Zaburi 84

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa gitithi. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, makao yako yapendeza kama nini!

For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

2 Nafsi yangu inatamani sana, naam, hata kuona shauku, kwa ajili ya nyua za Bwana; moyo wangu na mwili wangu vinamlilia Mungu Aliye Hai.

My soul yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto the living God.

3 Hata shomoro amejipatia makao, mbayuwayu amejipatia kiota mahali awezapo kuweka makinda yake: mahali karibu na madhabahu yako, Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu.

Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God —.

4 Heri wale wanaokaa nyumbani mwako, wanaokusifu wewe daima.

Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)

5 Heri wale ambao nguvu zao ziko kwako, na njia ziendazo Sayuni zimo mioyoni mwao.

Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.

6 Wanapopita katika Bonde la Baka, hulifanya mahali pa chemchemi, pia mvua za vuli hulijaza kwa madimbwi.

Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.

7 Huendelea toka nguvu hadi nguvu, hadi kila mmoja afikapo mbele za Mungu huko Sayuni.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8 Ee Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, sikia maombi yangu; nisikilize, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo.

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Ee Mungu, uitazame ngao yetu, mtazame kwa wema mpakwa mafuta wako.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.

10 Siku moja katika nyua zako ni bora kuliko siku elfu mahali pengine; afadhali ningekuwa bawabu katika nyumba ya Mungu wangu kuliko kukaa katika mahema ya waovu.

For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 Kwa kuwa Bwana ni jua na ngao, Bwana hutoa wema na heshima; hakuna kitu chema anachowanyima wale ambao hawana hatia.

For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, heri ni mtu yule anayekutumaini wewe.

O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
