Zaburi 130

1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to You, O LORD!

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

O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.

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

If You, O LORD, kept track of iniquities, then who, O Lord, could stand?

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.

But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be feared.

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

I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.

6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning— more than watchmen wait for the morning.

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

O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is loving devotion, and with Him is redemption in abundance.

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

And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.
