Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Bwana, wewe umekuwa kimbilio letu vizazi vyote.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Kabla milima haijaumbwa, wala haujaumba nchi na dunia, tangu milele na milele, wewe ni Mungu.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
Humrudisha mtu mavumbini, na kusema, “Rudi, ewe uzao wa mwanadmu.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Kwa maana miaka elfu machoni pako ni kama jana ipitapo, na kama saa wakati wa usiku.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth.
Huwafagia kama vile kwa mafuliko nao hulala; na wakati wa asubuhi wako kama majani yameayo.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
Asubuhi yachipuka na kumea; jioni yakatika na kukauka.
7 For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Hakika, tumeangamizwa kwa hasira yako, na gadhabu yako inatuogopesha sana.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
Umeudhihirisha uovu wetu mbele zako, na dhambi zetu zilizofichika katika nuru ya uwepo wako.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
Uhai wetu unatoweka chini ya gadhabu yako; Miaka yetu inapita haraka kama pumzi.
10 The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Miaka yetu ni sabini, au themanini tukiwa na afya; lakini hata hivyo miaka yetu mizuri imetiwa alama ya taabu na huzuni. Ndiyo, inapita haraka, kisha tunatoweka.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
Ni nani ajuaye kiwango cha hasira yako, na ghadhabu yako ambayo iko sawa na hofu yako?
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
Hivyo utufundishe sisi kuyafikiria maisha yetu ili kwamba tuweze kuishi kwa hekima.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou concerning thy servants.
Ugeuke, Ee Yahwe! Mpaka lini itakuwa hivi? Uwahurumie watumishi wako.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Ututosheleze sisi wakati wa asubuhi kwa uaminifu wa agano lako ili kwamba tuweze kufurahi na kushangilia siku zote za maisha yetu.
15 Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
Utufurahishe kwa uwiano sawa na zile siku ulizo tutesa na kwa ile miaka tuliyopitia taabu.
16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children.
Watumishi wako na waione kazi yako, na watoto wetu wauone ukuu enzi yako.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Na neema ya Bwana Mungu wetu iwe yetu; fanikisha kazi za mikono yetu; hakika, fanikisha kazi ya mikono yetu.
