Zaburi 57
1 Unihurumie, Mungu, unihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakukimbilia wewe mpaka matatizo haya yaishe. Ninakaa chini ya mbawa za zako kwa ajili ya ulinzi mpaka huu uharibifu utakapoisha.
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over. I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.
2 Nitakulilia Mungu uliye hai, kwa Mungu, afanyaye mambo yote kwa ajili yangu.
I will cry to God Most High, to God, who does all things for me.
3 Yeye atatuma msaada kutoka mbinguni na kuniokoa, ana hasira na wale wanaonishambulia. (Selah) Mungu atanitumia upendo wake mwema na uaminifu wake.
He will send help from heaven and save me, he is angry with those who crush me. (Selah) God will send me his loving kindness and his faithfulness.
4 Uhai wangu uko katikati ya simba; niko katikati ya wale walio tayari kunila. Niko katikati ya watu ambao meno yao ni mikuki na mishale, na ambao ndimi zao ni kali kama upanga.
My life is among lions; I am among those who are ready to devour me. I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako uwe juu ya nchi yote.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.
6 Wao walisambaza nje wavu kwa ajili ya miguu yangu; nilikuwa na shida sana. Walichimba shimo mbele yangu. Wao wenyewe wameangukia katikati ya shimo! (Selah)
They spread out a net for my feet; I was distressed. They dug a pit in front of me. They themselves have fallen into the middle of it! (Selah)
7 Moyo wangu umeponywa, Mungu, moyo wangu umeponywa, nitaimba, ndiyo, nitaimba sifa.
My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 Inuka, moyo wa thamani; inuka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
Wake up, my honored heart; wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
9 Nitakushukuru wewe, Bwana, kati ya watu; Kati ya mataifa nitakuimbia sifa.
I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 Maana upendo wako usiokwisha, huzifikia mbingu; na uaminifu wako mawinguni.
For great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens; and your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Uinuliwe, Mungu, juu ya mbingu; na utukufu wako uinuliwe juu ya nchi yote.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens; may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
