Zaburi 77
1 Nitampazia Mungu sauti yangu, nitamuita Mungu kwa sauti yangu, na Mungu wangu atanisikia.
“To the chief musician on Jeduthun, by Assaph a psalm.” [I lift up] my voice unto God, and I cry; [I lilt up] my voice unto God: do then give ear unto me.
2 Katika siku ya taabu nilimtafuta Bwana; usiku niliinua mikono yangu, nayo haikuchoka. Moyo wangu ulikataa kufarijiwa.
On the day of my distress I sought the Lord; in the night my hand was stretched out, and did not cease: my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Ningali nikiugua nilielekeza mawazo yangu kwa Mungu. Nilimfikiria Mungu nilipokuwa dhaifu. (Selah)
I think of God, and moan: I reflect, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Uliyafanya macho yangu yasisinzie; nilisumbuka sana kuongea.
Thou holdest my eyes awake: I am troubled and I cannot speak.
5 Nilifikiri kuhusu siku za kale, kuhusu mambo yaliyopita muda mrefu.
I think over the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 Wakati wa usiku niliukumbuka wimbo niliouimba mara moja. Nilifikiria kwa makini na kujaribu kuelewa kile kilichokuwa kimetokea.
I call to remembrance my song in the night; with my own heart I reflect: and my spirit maketh diligent search.
7 Je, Mungu atanikataa milele? Je, hatanionesha tena huruma?
Will the Lord cast me off for ever? and will he never more give his favor again?
8 Je, uaminifu wa agano lake ulikuwa umetoweka milele? Je, ahadi yake imeshindwa milele?
Is his kindness spent for ever? is his promise come to an end for all generations?
9 Je, Mungu amesahau kuwa mwenye neema? Je, hasira yake imeifunga huruma yake? (Selah)
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he shut up in anger his mercies? (Selah)
10 Nilisema, “Hii ni huzuni yangu: mabadiliko ya mkono wa kuume wa Aliye Juu dhidi yetu.”
And I said, This shall be my entreaty, [for] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Lakini nitayakumbuka matendo yako, Yahwe; nitafikiri kuhusu matendo yako makuu yaliyopita.
I will remember the deeds of the Lord; for I will remember out of ancient times thy wonders.
12 Nitayatafakari matendo yako yote nami nitayaishi.
I will meditate also of all thy work, and on thy deeds will I reflect.
13 Njia yako, Mungu, ni takatifu; ni mungu gani wa kulinganishwa na Mungu wetu aliye mkuu?
O God, in holiness is thy way: where is there a god so great as God?
14 Wewe ni Mungu utendaye maajabu; wewe umeonesha nguvu zako kati ya mataifa.
Thou art the God that dost wonders: thou hast made known among the people thy strength.
15 Uliwapa watu wako ushindi kwa uweza wako mkuu - ukoo wa Yakobo na Yusufu. (Selah)
Thou hast redeemed with [a mighty] arm thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Maji yalikuona wewe, Mungu; maji yalikuona wewe, nayo yakaogopa; vina vya maji vilitetemeka.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they shook: also the depths trembled.
17 Mawingu yalitiririsha maji chini; anga zito lilitoa sauti; mishale yako ilipita kati.
The clouds poured out water; the skies sent forth thunder: also thy arrows sped along.
18 Sauti yako kama ya radi ilisikika katika upepo; radi iliwasha dunia; nchi iliogopa na kutetemeka.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; lightnings gave light to the world; the earth trembled and quaked,
19 Njia yako ilipita baharini na mapito yako katika maji mengi, lakini alama za miguu yako hazikuonekana.
Through the sea led thy way, and thy path was through mighty waters, and thy footsteps could not be known.
20 Uliwaongoza watu wako kama kundi kwa mkono wa Musa na Haruni.
Thou didst lead like a flock thy people by means of Moses and Aaron.
