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 Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How amiable 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 longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out 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 her an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Heri wale wanaokaa nyumbani mwako, wanaokusifu wewe daima.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 Heri wale ambao nguvu zao ziko kwako, na njia ziendazo Sayuni zimo mioyoni mwao.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the highways [to Zion].
6 Wanapopita katika Bonde la Baka, hulifanya mahali pa chemchemi, pia mvua za vuli hulijaza kwa madimbwi.
Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain covereth 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 be a doorkeeper in 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 will give 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, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
