< Zaburi 130 >
1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, LORD.
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 the voice of my petitions.
3 Kama wewe, Yahwe, ungehesabu maovu, Bwana, ni nani angesimama?
If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.
But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5 Ninamngoja Yahwe, nafsi yangu inasubiri, na katika neno lake ninatumainia.
I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.
My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 Israeli, umtumainie yahwe. Yahwe ni wenye huruma, na yuko tayari kusamehe.
Israel, hope in the LORD, for there is loving kindness with the LORD. Abundant redemption is with him.
8 Ni yeye ambaye ataikomboa istaeli dhidi ya dhambi zake zote.
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
