Ee Mungu, uisikilize sala yangu, Wala usijifiche nikuombapo rehema.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
2
Unisikilize na kunijibu, Nimetanga-tanga nikilalama na kuugua.
Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
3
Kwa sababu ya sauti ya adui, Kwa sababu ya dhuluma yake yule mwovu. Kwa maana wananitupia uovu, Na kwa ghadhabu wananiudhi.
at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they bring down disaster upon me and resent me in their anger.
4
Moyo wangu unaumia ndani yangu, Na hofu za mauti zimeniangukia.
My heart pounds within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
5
Hofu na tetemeko limenijia, Na hofu kubwa imenifunikiza.
Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6
Nikasema, Ningekuwa na mbawa kama njiwa, Ningerukia mbali na kustarehe.
I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
7
Ningekwenda zangu mbali, Ningetua jangwani.
How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
8
Ningefanya haraka kuzikimbia Dhoruba na tufani.
I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
9
Ee Bwana, uwaangamize, uzichafue ndimi zao, Maana nimeona dhuluma na fitina katika mji.
O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10
Mchana na usiku huzunguka kutani mwake; Uovu na taabu zimo ndani yake;
Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
11
Tamaa mbaya zimo ndani yake; Dhuluma na hila haziondoki mitaani mwake.
Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
12
Kwa maana aliyetukana si adui; Kama ndivyo, ningevumilia. Aliyejitukuza juu yangu siye anichukiaye; Kama ndivyo, ningejificha asinione.
For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
13
Bali ni wewe, mtu mwenzangu, Rafiki yangu, niliyejuana nawe sana.
But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
14
Tulipeana shauri tamu; na kutembea Nyumbani mwa Mungu pamoja na mkutano.
We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
15
Mauti na iwapate kwa ghafula, Na washuke kuzimu wangali hai, Maana uovu u makaoni mwao na katikati yao.
Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.
16
Nami nitamwita Mungu, Na Bwana ataniokoa;
But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
17
Jioni, asubuhi, na adhuhuri nitalalama na kuugua, Naye ataisikia sauti yangu.
Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
18
Ameiokoa nafsi yangu iwe salama, asinikaribie mtu, Maana walioshindana nami walikuwa wengi.
He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19
Mungu atasikia na kuwajibu; Ndiye Yeye akaaye tangu milele. Mageuzi ya mambo hayawapati hao, Kwa hiyo hawamchi Mungu.
God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
20
Amenyosha mkono awadhuru waliopatana naye, Amelihalifu agano lake.
My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21
Kinywa chake ni laini kuliko siagi, Bali moyo wake ni vita. Maneno yake ni mororo kuliko mafuta, Bali hayo ni panga wazi.
His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
22
Umtwike Bwana mzigo wako naye atakutegemeza, Hatamwacha mwenye haki aondoshwe milele.
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
23
Nawe, Ee Mungu, utawatelemsha, Walifikilie shimo la uharibifu; Watu wa damu na hila hawataishi nusu ya siku zao, Bali mimi nitakutumaini Wewe.
But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
