Zaburi 84
1 Ni jinsi gani maskani yako yapendeza, Ewe Yahwe wa Majeshi!
Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core. How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!
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 longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced 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.
For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy 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 thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
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 from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,
6 Wanapopita katika bonde la machozi, hupata chemchem ya maji kwa ajili ya kunywa. Mvua ya vuli hulivika baraka.
In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.
7 Huendelea toka nguvu hadi nguvu; kila mmoja wao katika sayuni huonekana mbele ya Mungu.
For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: 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: give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Ee Mungu, uiangalie ngao yetu; uwaangalie wapakwa mafuta wako.
Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.
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 better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles 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 God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.
12 Yahwe wa majeshi, amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye kutumainia wewe.
He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
