Zaburi 142

1 Kwa sauti yangu namlilia Yahwe anisaidie; kwa sauti yangu naomba kwa ajili ya neema ya Yahwe.

συνέσεως τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ προσευχή φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐκέκραξα φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐδεήθην

2 Namwaga malalamiko yangu mbele zake; ninamwambia shida zangu.

ἐκχεῶ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ τὴν δέησίν μου τὴν θλῖψίν μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγελῶ

3 Roho yangu inapokuwa dhaifu ndani yangu, wewe unajua mapito yangu. Kwenye njia niipitayo wamenifichia mtego.

ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸ πνεῦμά μου καὶ σὺ ἔγνως τὰς τρίβους μου ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ ἐπορευόμην ἔκρυψαν παγίδα μοι

4 Natazama kulia kwangu na sioni yeyote anayenijali. Sina pa kukimbilia; hakuna anayejali kuhusu uhai wangu.

κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου

5 Nilikuita wewe, Yahwe; nikasema, “Wewe ni kimbilio langu, fungu langu katika nchi ya walio hai.

ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ κύριε εἶπα σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου μερίς μου ἐν γῇ ζώντων

6 Sikia kuita kwangu, maana nimeshushwa chini sana; uniokoe dhidi ya watesi wangu, maana wana nguvu kuliko mimi.

πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ

7 Uitoe nafsi yangu kifungoni ili niweze kulishukuru jina lako. Wenye haki watakusanyika karibu nami kwa sababu umekuwa mwema kwangu.”

ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου κύριε ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσιν δίκαιοι ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι
