Zaburi 30
1 Nitakutukuza wewe, Yahwe, kwa kuwa umeniinua na haujawaruhusu maadui zangu juu yangu.
A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Yahwe Mungu wangu, nilikulilia wewe kwa ajili ya msaada, nawe ukaniponya.
O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.
Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwimbieni sifa Yahwe, ninyi waaminifu wake! Mshukuruni Bwana mkumbukapo utakatifu wake.
Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory 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 wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
6 Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
7 Yahwe, kwa neema yako uliniweka mimi kama mlima imara; lakini ulipouficha uso wako, nilisumbuka.
O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
8 Nilikulilia wewe, Yahwe, na kuomba msaada kwa Bwana wangu!
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.
9 Kuna faida gani katika kifo changu, kama nitaenda kaburini? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu wewe? Yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
10 Sikia, Yahwe, na unihurumie! Yahwe, uwe msaidizi wangu.
The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became 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 joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
12 Hivyo sasa utukufu wangu utakuimbia sifa wewe na hautanyamaza; Yahwe Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru wewe milele!
To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
