Zaburi 130

1 Toka ndani yangu ninakulilia, Yahwe.

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 Lakini kwako kuna msamaha, ili uweze kuheshimiwa.

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

6 Nafsi yangu inamngoja Bwana kuliko mlinzi aingojavyo asubuhi.

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

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

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
