Zaburi 143
1 Ee Yahwe, usikie maombi yangu; sikia kuomba kwangu. Kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako na haki yako, unijibu!
A Psalme of David. Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my supplication: answer me in thy trueth and in thy righteousnes.
2 Usimuhukumu mtumishi wako, kwa kuwa machoni pako hamna aliye haki.
(And enter not into iudgement with thy seruant: for in thy sight shall none that liueth, be iustified)
3 Adui ameifuatia nafsi yangu; amenisukuma hadi chini; amenifanya niishi gizani kama wale ambao wamekwisha kufa siku nyingi zilizopita.
For the enemie hath persecuted my soule: he hath smitten my life downe to the earth: he hath layde me in the darkenes, as they that haue bene dead long agoe:
4 Na roho yangu inazidiwa ndani yangu; moyo wangu unakata tamaa.
And my spirit was in perplexitie in me, and mine heart within me was amased.
5 Nakumbuka siku za zamani zilizopita; nayatafakari matendo yako yote; nawaza juu ya utimilifu wako.
Yet do I remember the time past: I meditate in all thy workes, yea, I doe meditate in the workes of thine hands.
6 Nakunyoshea mikono yangu katika maombi; nafsi yangu inakuonea kiu katika nchi kavu. (Selah)
I stretche forth mine hands vnto thee: my soule desireth after thee, as the thirstie land. (Selah)
7 Unijibu upesi, Yahwe, kwa sababu roho yangu inazimia. Usinifiche uso wako, vinginevyo nitakuwa kama wale waendao chini shimoni.
Heare me spedely, O Lord, for my spirit faeleth: hide not thy face from me, els I shall be like vnto them that go downe into the pit.
8 Unifanye kusikia uaminifu wa agano lako wakati wa asubuhi, maana ninakuamini wewe. Unionyeshe njia niipasayo kutembea kwayo, kwa maana nakuinulia wewe nafsi yangu.
Let me heare thy louing kindenes in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shewe mee the waie, that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto thee.
9 Uniokoe dhidi ya adui zangu, Yahwe; nakimbilia kwako ili nijifiche.
Deliuer me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I hid me with thee.
10 Unifundishe kufanya mapenzi yako, maana wewe ni Mungu wangu. Roho wako mwema na aniongoze mimi katika nchi ya unyoofu.
Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit leade me vnto the land of righteousnes.
11 Ee Yahwe, kwa ajili ya jina lako, unihifadhi hai; katika haki yako uitoe nafsi yangu taabuni.
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy Names sake, and for thy righteousnes bring my soule out of trouble.
12 Katika uaminifu wa agano lako uwaondoshe maadui zangu na uwaangamize maadui wa uhai wangu, maana mimi ni mtumishi wako.
And for thy mercy slay mine enemies, and destrie all them that oppresse my soule: for I am thy seruant.
