Zaburi 130

1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.

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

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

O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,

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

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

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.

But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

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

I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.

I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

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

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

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

He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
