< Zaburi 6 >
1 Yahweh, usinikemee ukiwa na hasira au usiniadhibu katika gadhabu yako.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
2 Unihurumie, Yahwe, kwa maana ni dhaifu; uniponye, Yahweh, kwa kuwa mifupa yangu ina tikisika.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am frail; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3 Moyo wangu pia umesumbuka sana. Lakini wewe, Yahweh, mpaka lini hali hii itaendelea?
My soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?
4 Rudi, Yahweh! uniokoe. Uniokoe kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako!
Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.
5 kwa kuwa kifoni hakuna kumbukumbu lako. Kuzimuni ni nani atakaye kushukuru? (Sheol )
For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol? (Sheol )
6 Nimechoshwa na kuugua kwangu. Ninalowanisha kitanda changu kwa machozi usiku kucha; ninaosha kiti changu kwa machozi.
I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7 Macho yangu yanafifia kwa kulia sana; yanazidi kuwa dhaifu kwa sababu ya adaui zangu.
My eyes fail from grief; they grow dim because of all my foes.
8 Ondokeni kwangu, nyote mtendao maovu; kwa kuwa Yahweh amesikia sauti ya kilio changu.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9 Yahweh amesikia malalamiko yangu kwa ajili ya huruma; Yahweh ameyapokea maombi yangu.
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10 Maadui zangu wote wataaibishwa na kuteswa sana. Watarudi nyuma na ghafra kufedheheshwa.
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
