Zaburi 13

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

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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

How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

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

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

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

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

6 Nitamuimbia Yahwe kwa kuwa ameniganga kwa ukarimu kabisa.

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
