< Zaburi 6 >
1 Yahweh, usinikemee ukiwa na hasira au usiniadhibu katika gadhabu yako.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David. LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Unihurumie, Yahwe, kwa maana ni dhaifu; uniponye, Yahweh, kwa kuwa mifupa yangu ina tikisika.
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3 Moyo wangu pia umesumbuka sana. Lakini wewe, Yahweh, mpaka lini hali hii itaendelea?
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD—how long?
4 Rudi, Yahweh! uniokoe. Uniokoe kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako!
Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.
5 kwa kuwa kifoni hakuna kumbukumbu lako. Kuzimuni ni nani atakaye kushukuru? (Sheol )
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, 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. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7 Macho yangu yanafifia kwa kulia sana; yanazidi kuwa dhaifu kwa sababu ya adaui zangu.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
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 accepts my prayer.
10 Maadui zangu wote wataaibishwa na kuteswa sana. Watarudi nyuma na ghafra kufedheheshwa.
May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
