A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath:
Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Ee Bwana, usinilaumu katika ghadhabu yako, Wala usiniadhibu kwa ukali wa hasira yako.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me,
And thy hand presseth me sore.
Kwa maana mishale yako imenichoma, Na mkono wako umenipata.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
Hamna uzima katika mwili wangu Kwa sababu ya ghadhabu yako. Wala hamna amani mifupani mwangu Kwa sababu ya hatia zangu.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:
As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Maana dhambi zangu zimenifunikiza kichwa, Kama mzigo mzito zimenilemea mno.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt
Because of my foolishness.
Jeraha zangu zinanuka, zimeoza, Kwa sababu ya upumbavu wangu.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.
Nimepindika na kuinama sana, Mchana kutwa nimekwenda nikihuzunika.
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease:
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
Maana viuno vyangu vimejaa homa, Wala hamna uzima katika mwili wangu.
8 I am feeble and sore broken:
I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
Nimedhoofika na kuchubuka sana, Nimeugua kwa fadhaa ya moyo wangu.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee;
And my groaning is not hid from thee.
Bwana, haja zangu zote ziko mbele zako, Kuugua kwangu hakukusitirika kwako.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me:
As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
Moyo wangu unapwita-pwita, Nguvu zangu zimeniacha; Nuru ya macho yangu nayo imeniondoka.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
Wanipendao na rafiki zangu wanasimama mbali na pigo langu; Naam, karibu zangu wamesimama mbali.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me:
And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
Nao wanaoutafuta uhai wangu hutega mitego; Nao wanaotaka kunidhuru hunena mabaya; Na kufikiri hila mchana kutwa.
13 But I, as a deaf man , heard not;
And I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Lakini kama kiziwi sisikii, Nami ni kama bubu asiyefumbua kinywa chake.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not,
And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
Naam, nimekuwa kama mtu asiyesikia, Ambaye hamna hoja kinywani mwake.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope:
Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
Kwa kuwa nakungoja Wewe, Bwana, Wewe utajibu, Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu.
16 For I said, Hear me , lest otherwise they should rejoice over me:
When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
Maana nalisema, Wasije wakanifurahia; Mguu wangu ukiteleza wajitukuza juu yangu.
17 For I am ready to halt,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
Kwa maana mimi ni karibu na kusita, Na maumivu yangu yako mbele yangu daima.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity;
I will be sorry for my sin.
Kwa maana nitaungama uovu wangu, Na kusikitika kwa dhambi zangu.
19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong:
And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Lakini adui zangu ni wazima wenye nguvu, Nao wanaonichukia bure wamekuwa wengi.
20 They also that render evil for good
Are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is .
Naam, wakilipa mabaya kwa mema, Huwa adui zangu kwa kuwa nalifuata lililo jema.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD:
O my God, be not far from me.
Wewe, Bwana, usiniache, Mungu wangu, usijitenge nami.
22 Make haste to help me,
O Lord my salvation.
Ufanye haraka kunisaidia, Ee Bwana, wokovu wangu.
