Zaburi 84
1 Ni jinsi gani maskani yako yapendeza, Ewe Yahwe wa Majeshi!
For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 Ninashauku ya kuingia nyumbani mwa Yahwe, nimechoka sana kwa sababu ninatamani sana kuwa nyumani mwako. Moyo wangu na mwili wangu wote wakuita wewe Mungu uliye hai.
My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.
3 Hata Shomoro naye amepata nyumba yake na mbayuwayu amejipatia kiota kwa ajili yake mwenyewe mahali awezapo aweza kuweka makinda yake karibu na madhabahu yako, Ee Yahwe wa majeshi, Mfalme wangu, na Mungu wangu.
Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Wamebarikiwa wale ambao huishi katika nyumba yako; nao hukusifu wewe siku zote. (Selah)
Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. (Pause)
5 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye nguvu zake ziko katika wewe, katika moyo wake mna njia kuu ziendazo mpaka Sayuni.
Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up
6 Wanapopita katika bonde la machozi, hupata chemchem ya maji kwa ajili ya kunywa. Mvua ya vuli hulivika baraka.
the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.
7 Huendelea toka nguvu hadi nguvu; kila mmoja wao katika sayuni huonekana mbele ya Mungu.
They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, sikia maombi yangu; Mungu wa Yakobo, usikilize nisemacho! (Selah)
O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. (Pause)
9 Ee Mungu, uiangalie ngao yetu; uwaangalie wapakwa mafuta wako.
Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.
10 Kwa maana siku moja katika nyumba yako ni bora kuliko siku elfu mahali pengine. Ni bora niwe mlinzi wa mlango katika nyumba ya Mungu wangu, kuliko kuishi katika mahema ya waovu.
For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.
11 Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu ni jua letu na ngao yetu; Yahwe atatoa neema na utukufu; hazuii zuri lolote kwa wale ambao hutembea katika uadilifu.
For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.
12 Yahwe wa majeshi, amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye kutumainia wewe.
O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
