< Zaburi 130 >
1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.
A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to 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 thy 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 [waiteth] for the LORD more than they that watch for the morning: [I say], [more than] they that watch for the morning.
7 Israeli, umtumainie yahwe. Yahwe ni wenye huruma, na yuko tayari kusamehe.
Let 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.
