< Zaburi 13 >
1 Mpaka lini, Yahweh, utaendelea kunisahau? Ni kwa muda gani utauficha uso wako nisiuone?
How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your 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 LORD my God: 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 your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.
I will sing unto the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
