Zaburi 40
1 Nalimungoja Yahwe kwa uvumilivu; alinisikia na kusika kilio changu.
To the choirmaster of David a psalm. Certainly I waited for Yahweh and he stretched out to me and he heard cry for help my.
2 Yeye akanitoa nje ya shimo la kutisha, nje ya matope, naye aliiweka miguu yangu juu ya mwamba na kuzifanya hatua zangu salama.
And he brought up me - from a pit of roaring from [the] mud of the mire and he set on a rock feet my he established steps my.
3 Yeye ameweka wimbo mpya mdomoni mwangu, sifa kwa Mungu. Wengi watauona na kumheshimu yeye na kumwamini Yahwe.
And he put in mouth my - a song new praise to God our they will see many [people] so they may fear and they may trust in Yahweh.
4 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye humfanya Yahwe tumaini lake naye hathamini majivuno wala wale wanaokengeuka kwa uongo.
How blessed! [is] the man who he has made Yahweh trust his and not he has turned to proud people and [those who] fall away of falsehood.
5 Yahwe Mungu wangu, matendo ya ajabu ambayo wewe umeyafanya, ni mengi, na mawazo yako yatuhusuyo sisi hayahesabiki; Ikiwa ningetangaza na kuyazungumza kwao, ni mengi sana hayahesabiki.
Many you have made - you - O Yahweh God my wonders your and plans your to us not - to compare to you I will declare and I will speak they are [too] numerous for recounting.
6 Wewe haufurahishwi katika sadaka au matoleo, bali wewe umeyafungua masikio yangu; wala haukuhitaji sadaka ya kuteketeza au sadaka ya dhambi.
Sacrifice and offering - not you desired ears you dug for me burnt offering and sin offering not you asked for.
7 Ndipo nilisema mimi, “Tazama, nimekuja; imeandikwa kuhusu mimi katika kitabu cha hati.
Then I said here! I have come in [the] scroll of [the] book [it is] written on me.
8 Ninafurahia kuyafanya mapenzi yako, Mungu wangu; sheria zako ziko moyoni mwangu.”
To do will your O God my I desire and law your [is] in [the] midst of inward parts my.
9 Katika kusanyiko kubwa nimetangaza habari njema ya haki yako; Yahwe, wewe unajua sikuizuia midomo yangu.
I have borne news righteousness - in [the] assembly great here! lips my not I restrain O Yahweh you you know.
10 Sikuficha haki yako moyoni mwangu; nimetangaza uaminifu wako na wokovu wako; sijaficha uaminifu wa agano lako au uaminifu wako kwenye kusanyiko kubwa.
Righteousness your not I have concealed - in [the] midst of heart my faithfulness your and salvation your I have spoken not I have hidden covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your to [the] assembly great.
11 Usiache kunitendea kwa rehema, Yahwe; Uaminifu wa agano lako na uaminifu wako unihifadhi siku zote.
You O Yahweh not you will withhold compassion your from me covenant loyalty your and faithfulness your continually they preserve me.
12 Mabaya yasiyo hesabika yamenizunguka; Maovu yangu yamenipata nami siwezi kuona chochote; nayo ni mengi kuliko nywele za kichwa changu, na moyo wangu umeniangusha.
For they have surrounded me - troubles until there not [was] number they have overtaken me iniquities my and not I am able to see they are numerous more than [the] hairs of head my and heart my it has abandoned me.
13 Yahwe, tafadhari uniokoe; njoo haraka unisaidie Yahwe.
Be pleased O Yahweh to deliver me O Yahweh to help my make haste!
14 Waaibike na wafedheheke kabisa wanaufuatilia uhai wangu wauondoe. Warudishwe nyuma na wadharaulike, wale wanaofurahia kuniumiza.
May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [those who] seek life my to snatch away it may they be turned back backwards and may they be humiliated [the] [people] desirous of harm my.
15 Waogopeshwe kwa sababu ya aibu yao, wale waniambiao, “Aha, aha!”
May they be appalled on [the] consequence of shame their those [who] say to me aha! - aha!
16 Bali wale wote wakutafutao wafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; na kila mmoja apendaye wokovu wako aseme daima, “Asifiwe Yahwe.”
May they exult and they may rejoice - in you all [those who] seek you may they say continually he is great Yahweh [those who] love salvation your.
17 Mimi ni maskini na muhitaji; lakini Bwana hunifikiria. Wewe ni msaada wangu nawe huja kuniokoa; usichelewe, Mungu wangu.
And I - [am] poor and needy [the] Lord may he think to me [are] help my and deliverer my you O God my may not you delay.
