< Zaburi 30 >
1 Nitakutukuza wewe, Yahwe, kwa kuwa umeniinua na haujawaruhusu maadui zangu juu yangu.
A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house. I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Yahwe Mungu wangu, nilikulilia wewe kwa ajili ya msaada, nawe ukaniponya.
Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 Yahwe, wewe umeitoa roho yangu kuzimuni; nawe umeniweka hai mbali na kaburi. (Sheol )
Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit. (Sheol )
4 Mwimbieni sifa Yahwe, ninyi waaminifu wake! Mshukuruni Bwana mkumbukapo utakatifu wake.
Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
5 Kwa kuwa hasira yake ni ya muda tu; bali neema yake yadumu milele. Kilio huja usiku, bali furaha huja asubuhi.
For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.
6 Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
7 Yahwe, kwa neema yako uliniweka mimi kama mlima imara; lakini ulipouficha uso wako, nilisumbuka.
Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
8 Nilikulilia wewe, Yahwe, na kuomba msaada kwa Bwana wangu!
I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:
9 Kuna faida gani katika kifo changu, kama nitaenda kaburini? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu wewe? Yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Sikia, Yahwe, na unihurumie! Yahwe, uwe msaidizi wangu.
Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.
11 Wewe umegeuza kuomboleza kwangu kuwa kucheza; wewe umeyaondoa mavazi yangu ya magunia na kunivisha furaha.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 Hivyo sasa utukufu wangu utakuimbia sifa wewe na hautanyamaza; Yahwe Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru wewe milele!
That [my] glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
