1 I love the LORD,
Because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Haleluya. Nampenda Bwana kwa kuwa anaisikiliza Sauti yangu na dua zangu.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
Kwa maana amenitegea sikio lake, Kwa hiyo nitamwita siku zangu zote.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me,
And the pains of hell gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka, Shida za kuzimu zilinipata. Naliona taabu na huzuni;
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD;
O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Nikaliitia jina la Bwana. Ee Bwana, nakuomba sana, Uniokoe nafsi yangu.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
Bwana ni mwenye neema na haki, Naam, Mungu wetu ni mwenye rehema.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he helped me.
Bwana huwalinda wasio na hila; Nalidhilika, akaniokoa.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Ee nafsi yangu, urudi rahani mwako, Kwa kuwa Bwana amekutendea ukarimu.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Maana umeniponya nafsi yangu na mauti, Macho yangu na machozi, Na miguu yangu na kuanguka.
9 I will walk before
The LORD in the land of the living.
Nitaenenda mbele za Bwana Katika nchi za walio hai.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
Naliamini, kwa maana nitasema, Mimi naliteswa sana.
11 I said in my haste, all men are liars.
Mimi nalisema kwa haraka yangu, Wanadamu wote ni waongo.
12 What shall I render unto the LORD
For all his benefits toward me?
Nimrudishie Bwana nini Kwa ukarimu wake wote alionitendea?
13 I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the LORD.
Nitakipokea kikombe cha wokovu; Na kulitangaza jina la Bwana;
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
Nitaziondoa nadhiri zangu kwa Bwana, Naam, mbele ya watu wake wote.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Ina thamani machoni pa Bwana Mauti ya wacha Mungu wake.
16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant;
I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: Thou hast loosed my bonds.
Ee Bwana, hakika mimi ni mtumishi wako, Mtumishi wako, mwana wa mjakazi wako, Umevifungua vifungo vyangu.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of the LORD.
Nitakutolea dhabihu ya kushukuru; Na kulitangaza jina la Bwana;
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
Nitaziondoa nadhiri zangu kwa Bwana, Naam, mbele ya watu wake wote.
19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye the LORD.
Katika nyua za nyumba ya Bwana, Ndani yako, Ee Yerusalemu.
