Zaburi 130

1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.

A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, Yahweh.

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

Lord, hear my voice; let your ears be attentive to my pleas for mercy.

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

If you, Yahweh, would mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.

But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be revered.

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

I wait for Yahweh, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.

6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.

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

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh. Yahweh is merciful, and he is very willing to forgive.

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

It is he who will redeem Israel from all his sins.
