< Zaburi 130 >

1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
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, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall 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 the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.
My soul [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] 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 the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 Ni yeye ambaye ataikomboa istaeli dhidi ya dhambi zake zote.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
