Psalms 84

1 How lovely are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

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

2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for the living God.

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.

3 Yea, the sparrow has found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

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.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. (Selah)

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

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.

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

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.

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

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

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

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, sikia maombi yangu; Mungu wa Yakobo, usikilize nisemacho! (Selah)

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of your anointed.

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

10 For a day in your 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.

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.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu ni jua letu na ngao yetu; Yahwe atatoa neema na utukufu; hazuii zuri lolote kwa wale ambao hutembea katika uadilifu.

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.

Yahwe wa majeshi, amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye kutumainia wewe.
