Zaburi 41
1 Amebarikiwa mtu yule amkumbukaye mnyonge; katika siku ya taabu, Yahwe atamuokoa.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time of trouble.
2 Yahwe atamuhifadhi na kumuweka hai, naye atabarikiwa duniani; Yahwe hata mrudisha kwenye mapenzi ya adui zake.
The Lord will keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.
3 Awapo kwenye kitanda cha mateso Yahwe atamsaidia; nawe utakifanya kitanda cha ugonjwa kuwa kitanda cha uponyaji.
The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.
4 Nami nilisema, “Yahwe unihurumie! Uniponye, kwa maana nimekutenda dhambi wewe.”
Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.
5 Adui zangu huongea maovu dhidi yangu, wakisema, 'Atakufa lini na jina lake lipotee?'
Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 Adui yangu ajapo kuniona, huongea mambo yasiyo na maana; moyo wake hukusanya maafa yangu kwa ajili yake mwenyewe; na aondokapo kwangu, yeye huwaambia watu wengine kuhusu hayo.
And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.
7 Wale wote wanaonichukia kwa pamoja hunon'gona dhidi yangu; nao wanafarijika kwa ajili ya maumivu yangu.
All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.
8 Wakisema, “Gonjwa baya limemshikilia yeye haswa; na sasa kuwa amelala kitandani, hatainuka kamwe.”
A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.
9 Kweli, hata rafiki yangu wa karibu, ambae nilimuamini, aliye kula mkate wangu, ameinua kisigino chake dhidi yangu.
Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.
10 Bali wewe, Yahwe, unihurumie na uniinue ili kwamba niwalipizie kisasi.
Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.
11 Na hivi nitajua kuwa unafurahishwa nami, kwa kuwa adui yangu hatafurahia kunishinda.
By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.
12 Kwangu mimi, wewe unanisaidia katika uadilifu wangu na utaniweka mbele ya uso wako milele.
And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.
13 Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asifiwe milele na milele. Amen na Amen. Kitabu ya Pili
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.
