Zaburi 30

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

A Psalm. — A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

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

Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

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

Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol h7585)

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

Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

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

For — a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

6 Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”

And I — I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved — to the age.

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

O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face — I have been troubled.

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

Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.

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

'What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

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

Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'

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

Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.

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

So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
