Zaburi 6

1 Yahweh, usinikemee ukiwa na hasira au usiniadhibu katika gadhabu yako.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

2 Unihurumie, Yahwe, kwa maana ni dhaifu; uniponye, Yahweh, kwa kuwa mifupa yangu ina tikisika.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

3 Moyo wangu pia umesumbuka sana. Lakini wewe, Yahweh, mpaka lini hali hii itaendelea?

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

4 Rudi, Yahweh! uniokoe. Uniokoe kwa sababu ya uaminifu wa agano lako!

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

5 kwa kuwa kifoni hakuna kumbukumbu lako. Kuzimuni ni nani atakaye kushukuru? (Sheol h7585)

For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

6 Nimechoshwa na kuugua kwangu. Ninalowanisha kitanda changu kwa machozi usiku kucha; ninaosha kiti changu kwa machozi.

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

7 Macho yangu yanafifia kwa kulia sana; yanazidi kuwa dhaifu kwa sababu ya adaui zangu.

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

8 Ondokeni kwangu, nyote mtendao maovu; kwa kuwa Yahweh amesikia sauti ya kilio changu.

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

9 Yahweh amesikia malalamiko yangu kwa ajili ya huruma; Yahweh ameyapokea maombi yangu.

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

10 Maadui zangu wote wataaibishwa na kuteswa sana. Watarudi nyuma na ghafra kufedheheshwa.

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
