Zaburi 16
1 Unilinde, Mungu, kwa kuwa nakimbilia kwako kwa ajili ya usalama.
A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
2 Nami ninasema kwa Yahwe, “Wewe ni Bwana wangu; wema wangu ni bure pasipo wewe.
You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
3 Kama kwa watakatifu walioko duniani, ndio walio bora; furaha yangu yote iko kwao.
To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
4 Taabu yao itaongezeka, wale watafutao miungu mingine. Sitamimina sadaka ya damu kwa miungu yao. Wala kuyainua majina yao kwa midomo yao.
They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
5 Yahwe, wewe ni sehemu ya chaguo langu na kikombe changu. Unaishikilia kesho yangu.
Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
6 Mistari iliyo pimwa imelelazwa mahari pa kufurahisha kwa ajili yangu; hakika urithi ufurahishao ni wangu.
Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
7 Nitakubariki Yahwe, wewe unishauliye; hata wakati wa usiku akili zangu za nielekeza.
I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
8 Nimemuweka Yahwe mbele yangu kila wakati, ili nisitikisike kutoka mkono wake wa kuume.
I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
9 Kwa hiyo moyo wangu unafuraha, utukufu wangu washangilia. Hakika nitaishi katika usalama.
Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
10 Kwa kuwa hautaiacha roho yangu kuzimuni. Wewe hautamuacha mwaminifu wako kuliona shimo. (Sheol h7585)
For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Wewe hunifundisha njia ya maisha; furaha tele inakaa katika uwepo wako; furaha inakaa katika mkono wako wa kuume milele!”
You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
