< Zaburi 4 >
1 Unijibu nikuitapo, Mungu wa haki yangu; uniokoe niwapo katika hatari. Unihurumie na usikie maombi yangu.
To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of David. When call I answer me - O God of righteousness my in the distress you have made wide for me show favor to me and hear prayer my.
2 Ninyi watu, mpaka lini mtaiabisha heshima yangu? Mpaka lini mtaendelea kupenda kile kisicho stahili na kutafuta uongo?
O sons of man until when? [will] honor my [become] ignominy will you love?! vanity will you seek? falsehood (Selah)
3 Lakini mjue ya kuwa Yahweh huchagua watu wa kimungu kwa ajili yake. Nitakapo mwita Yahwe atasikia.
And know that he has set apart Yahweh [the] faithful for himself Yahweh he will hear when call I to him.
4 Tetemekeni na kuogopa, lakini msitende dhambi! Tafakarini mioyoni mwenu kwenye vitanda vyenu na muwe kimya.
Tremble and may not you sin speak in heart your on bed your and be silent (Selah)
5 Toeni matoleo ya haki na muweke imani yenu katika Yahweh.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness and trust to Yahweh.
6 Wengi husema, “Ni nani atakaye tuonyesha chochote kilicho kizuri?” Yahweh, utuangazie nuru ya uso wako.
Many [people] [are] saying who? will he show us good lift up! on us [the] light of face your O Yahweh.
7 Umeupa moyo wangu furaha kuu kuliko wao wanapozidishiwa nafaka na divai mpaya.
You have put joy in heart my more than a time [when] grain their and new wine their they abound.
8 Ni amani kuwa nitajilaza na kusinzia, kwako pekee, Yahweh, nifanye kuwa salama kabisa.
In peace together I will lie down and I may sleep for you O Yahweh alone to security you caused to dwell me.
