Zaburi 84
1 Ni jinsi gani maskani yako yapendeza, Ewe Yahwe wa Majeshi!
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Yhwh of Armies!
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, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Yhwh: my heart and my flesh crieth out for 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 an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Yhwh of Armies, 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: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 Amebarikiwa mtu yule ambaye nguvu zake ziko katika wewe, katika moyo wake mna njia kuu ziendazo mpaka Sayuni.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Wanapopita katika bonde la machozi, hupata chemchem ya maji kwa ajili ya kunywa. Mvua ya vuli hulivika baraka.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
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 in Zion appeareth before God.
8 Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, sikia maombi yangu; Mungu wa Yakobo, usikilize nisemacho! (Selah)
O Yhwh God of Armies, 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 be a doorkeeper in 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 Yhwh God is a sun and shield: Yhwh will give 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 Yhwh of Armies, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
