Zaburi 130

1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2 Bwana, usikie sauti yangu; masikio yako na yasikie kwa makini kuomba kwangu kwa ajili ya huruma.

Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

3 Kama wewe, Yahwe, ungehesabu maovu, Bwana, ni nani angesimama?

If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.

But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.

5 Ninamngoja Yahwe, nafsi yangu inasubiri, na katika neno lake ninatumainia.

I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord More than watchmen [wait] for the morning; [Yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.

7 Israeli, umtumainie yahwe. Yahwe ni wenye huruma, na yuko tayari kusamehe.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Ni yeye ambaye ataikomboa istaeli dhidi ya dhambi zake zote.

And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
