Zaburi 13

1 Mpaka lini, Yahweh, utaendelea kunisahau? Ni kwa muda gani utauficha uso wako nisiuone?

How long wilt thou forget me, O YHWH? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Ni kwa muda gani nitalazimika kuhofu na kuhuzunika moyoni mwangu kila siku? Ni kwa muda gani adui zangu watanishida?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Unitazame na unijibu, Yahwe Mungu wangu! Nipe mwanga machoni pangu, vinginevyo nitalala katika mauti.

Consider and hear me, O YHWH my Elohim: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Usimuache adui yangu aseme, “Nimemshinda huyu,” ili kwamba asiweze kusema, “Nimemtawala adui yangu;” la sivyo, maadui zangu watafurahia nitakapo shushwa chini.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Lakini nimeamini katika uaminifu wa agano lako; moyo wangu wafurahia katika wokovu wako.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.

I will sing unto YHWH, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
