< Zaburi 6 >
1 Yahweh, usinikemee ukiwa na hasira au usiniadhibu katika gadhabu yako.
O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Unihurumie, Yahwe, kwa maana ni dhaifu; uniponye, Yahweh, kwa kuwa mifupa yangu ina tikisika.
Have mercy on me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 Moyo wangu pia umesumbuka sana. Lakini wewe, Yahweh, mpaka lini hali hii itaendelea?
My soul is also sore vexed: but you, O LORD, how long?
4 Rudi, Yahweh! uniokoe. Uniokoe kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako!
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for your mercies’ sake.
5 kwa kuwa kifoni hakuna kumbukumbu lako. Kuzimuni ni nani atakaye kushukuru? (Sheol )
For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give you thanks? (Sheol )
6 Nimechoshwa na kuugua kwangu. Ninalowanisha kitanda changu kwa machozi usiku kucha; ninaosha kiti changu kwa machozi.
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Macho yangu yanafifia kwa kulia sana; yanazidi kuwa dhaifu kwa sababu ya adaui zangu.
My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxes old because of all my enemies.
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 the voice of my weeping.
9 Yahweh amesikia malalamiko yangu kwa ajili ya huruma; Yahweh ameyapokea maombi yangu.
The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Maadui zangu wote wataaibishwa na kuteswa sana. Watarudi nyuma na ghafra kufedheheshwa.
Let all my enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
