To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 I Cried unto God with my voice,
Even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
Nimpazie Mungu sauti yangu, Naam, nimpazie Mungu, naye atanisikia.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
My sore ran in the night, and ceased not: My soul refused to be comforted.
Siku ya taabu yangu nalimtafuta Bwana; Mkono wangu ulinyoshwa usiku, haukulegea; Nafsi yangu ilikataa kufarijika.
3 I remembered God, and was troubled:
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
Nilipotaka kumkumbuka Mungu nalifadhaika; Nilipotaka kutafakari roho yangu ilizimia.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking:
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Ulizishika kope za macho yangu zisifumbike; Naliona mashaka nisiweze kunena.
5 I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
Nalifikiri habari za siku za kale, Miaka ya zamani zilizopita.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:
I commune with mine own heart: And my spirit made diligent search.
Nakumbuka wimbo wangu usiku, Nawaza moyoni mwangu, Roho yangu ikatafuta.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever?
And will he be favourable no more?
Je! Bwana atatupa milele na milele? Hatatenda fadhili tena kabisa?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
Doth his promise fail for evermore?
Rehema zake zimekoma hata milele? Ahadi yake imekwisha hata vizazi vyote?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
Mungu amesahau fadhili zake? Amezuia kwa hasira rehema zake?
10 And I said, This is my infirmity:
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Nikasema, Ndio udhaifu wangu huo; Lakini nitaikumbuka miaka ya mkono wa kuume wake Aliye juu.
11 I will remember the works of the LORD:
Surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
Nitayakumbuka matendo ya Bwana; Naam, nitayakumbuka maajabu yako ya kale.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work,
And talk of thy doings.
Pia nitaitafakari kazi yako yote; Nitaziwaza habari za matendo yako.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
Who is so great a God as our God?
Ee Mungu, njia yako i katika utakatifu; Ni nani aliye mungu mkuu kama Mungu?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders:
Thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
Wewe ndiwe Mungu ufanyaye maajabu; Uliudhihirisha uweza wako kati ya mataifa.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
Kwa mkono wako umewakomboa watu wako, Wana wa Yakobo na Yusufu.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid:
The depths also were troubled.
Ee Mungu, yale maji yalikuona, Yale maji yalikuona, yakaogopa. Vilindi vya maji navyo vikatetemeka,
17 The clouds poured out water: The skies sent out a sound:
Thine arrows also went abroad.
Mawingu yakamwaga maji. Mbingu nazo zikatoa sauti, Mishale yako nayo ikatapakaa.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven:
The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.
Sauti ya radi yako ikawa katika kisulisuli; Umeme uliuangaza ulimwengu. Nchi ilitetemeka na kutikisika;
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,
And thy footsteps are not known.
Njia yako ilikuwa katika bahari. Na mapito yako yalikuwa katika maji makuu; Hatua zako hazikujulikana.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Uliwaongoza watu wako kama kundi, Kwa mkono wa Musa na Haruni.
