Zaburi 30

1 Nitakutukuza wewe, Yahwe, kwa kuwa umeniinua na haujawaruhusu maadui zangu juu yangu.

[A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, Jehovah, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 Yahwe Mungu wangu, nilikulilia wewe kwa ajili ya msaada, nawe ukaniponya.

Jehovah my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

3 Yahwe, wewe umeitoa roho yangu kuzimuni; nawe umeniweka hai mbali na kaburi. (Sheol h7585)

Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Mwimbieni sifa Yahwe, ninyi waaminifu wake! Mshukuruni Bwana mkumbukapo utakatifu wake.

Sing praise to Jehovah, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.

5 Kwa kuwa hasira yake ni ya muda tu; bali neema yake yadumu milele. Kilio huja usiku, bali furaha huja asubuhi.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”

As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

7 Yahwe, kwa neema yako uliniweka mimi kama mlima imara; lakini ulipouficha uso wako, nilisumbuka.

You, Jehovah, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

8 Nilikulilia wewe, Yahwe, na kuomba msaada kwa Bwana wangu!

I cried to you, Jehovah. To Jehovah I made petition:

9 Kuna faida gani katika kifo changu, kama nitaenda kaburini? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu wewe? Yatatangaza uaminifu wako?

"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

10 Sikia, Yahwe, na unihurumie! Yahwe, uwe msaidizi wangu.

Hear, Jehovah, and have mercy on me. Jehovah, be my helper."

11 Wewe umegeuza kuomboleza kwangu kuwa kucheza; wewe umeyaondoa mavazi yangu ya magunia na kunivisha furaha.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

12 Hivyo sasa utukufu wangu utakuimbia sifa wewe na hautanyamaza; Yahwe Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru wewe milele!

To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
