Zaburi 84

1 Ni jinsi gani maskani yako yapendeza, Ewe Yahwe wa Majeshi!

For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy 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 yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy unto 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.

Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God —.

4 Wamebarikiwa wale ambao huishi katika nyumba yako; nao hukusifu wewe siku zote. (Selah)

Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)

5 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye nguvu zake ziko katika wewe, katika moyo wake mna njia kuu ziendazo mpaka Sayuni.

Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.

6 Wanapopita katika bonde la machozi, hupata chemchem ya maji kwa ajili ya kunywa. Mvua ya vuli hulivika baraka.

Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.

7 Huendelea toka nguvu hadi nguvu; kila mmoja wao katika sayuni huonekana mbele ya Mungu.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

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. (Selah)

9 Ee Mungu, uiangalie ngao yetu; uwaangalie wapakwa mafuta wako.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine 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 a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand; I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

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 God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 Yahwe wa majeshi, amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye kutumainia wewe.

O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
