1
Fadhili za Bwana nitaziimba milele; Kwa kinywa changu nitavijulisha vizazi vyote uaminifu wako.
A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.
2
Maana nimesema, Fadhili zitajengwa milele; Katika mbingu utauthibitisha uaminifu wako.
For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”
3
Nimefanya agano na mteule wangu, Nimemuapia Daudi, mtumishi wangu.
You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:
4
Wazao wako nitawafanya imara milele, Nitakijenga kiti chako cha enzi hata milele.
‘I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.’” Selah
5
Ee Bwana, mbingu zitayasifu maajabu yako, Uaminifu wako katika kusanyiko la watakatifu.
The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD—Your faithfulness as well—in the assembly of the holy ones.
6
Maana ni nani katika mbingu awezaye kulinganishwa na Bwana? Ni nani afananaye na Bwana miongoni mwa malaika?
For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?
7
Mungu huogopwa sana barazani pa watakatifu, Ni wa kuhofiwa kuliko wote wanaomzunguka.
In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.
8
Bwana, Mungu wa majeshi, Ni nani aliye hodari kama Wewe, Ee YAHU? Na uaminifu wako unakuzunguka.
O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.
9
Wewe ndiwe ukitawalaye kiburi cha bahari. Mawimbi yake yainukapo wayatuliza Wewe.
You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.
10
Ndiwe uliyemseta Rahabu akawa kama aliyeuawa, Kwa mkono hodari umewatawanya wakuchukiao.
You crushed Rahab like a carcass; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11
Mbingu ni mali yako, nchi nayo ni mali yako, Ulimwengu na vyote viujazavyo Ndiwe uliyeupiga msingi wake.
The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.
12
Kaskazini na kusini ndiwe uliyeziumba, Tabori na Hermoni hulifurahia jina lako.
North and south You created; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
13
Mkono wako ni mkono wenye uweza, Mkono wako una nguvu, Mkono wako wa kuume umetukuka.
Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.
14
Haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chako, Fadhili na kweli zahudhuria mbele za uso wako.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.
15
Heri watu wale waijuao sauti ya shangwe, Ee Bwana, huenenda katika nuru ya uso wako.
Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.
16
Kwa jina lako hufurahi mchana kutwa, Na kwa haki yako hutukuzwa.
They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.
17
Maana fahari ya nguvu zao ni Wewe, Na kwa radhi yako pembe yetu itatukuka.
For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.
18
Maana ngao yetu ina Bwana, Na mfalme wetu ni wake Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19
Ndipo ulipowaambia watakatifu wako kwa njozi, Ukasema, nimempa aliye hodari msaada; Nimemtukuza aliyechaguliwa miongoni mwa watu.
You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20
Nimemwona Daudi, mtumishi wangu, Nimempaka mafuta yangu matakatifu.
I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.
21
Ambaye mkono wangu utakuwa thabiti kwake, Na mkono wangu utamtia nguvu.
My hand will sustain him; surely My arm will strengthen him.
22
Adui hatamwonea, Wala mwana wa uovu hatamtesa.
No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.
23
Bali nitawaponda watesi wake mbele yake, Nitawapiga wanaomchukia.
I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
24
Uaminifu wangu na fadhili zangu atakuwa nazo, Na kwa jina langu pembe yake itatukuka.
My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.
25
Nitaweka mkono wake juu ya bahari, Na mkono wake wa kuume juu ya mito.
I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers.
26
Yeye ataniita, Wewe baba yangu, Mungu wangu na mwamba wa wokovu wangu.
He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
27
Nami nitamjalia kuwa mzaliwa wangu wa kwanza, Kuwa juu sana kuliko wafalme wa dunia.
I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28
Hata milele nitamwekea fadhili zangu, Na agano langu litafanyika amini kwake.
I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.
29
Wazao wake nao nitawadumisha milele, Na kiti chake cha enzi kama siku za mbingu.
I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
30
Wanawe wakiiacha sheria yangu, Wasiende katika hukumu zangu,
If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,
31
Wakizihalifu amri zangu, Wasiyashike maagizo yangu,
if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,
32
Basi, nitawarudi makosa yao kwa fimbo, Na uovu wao kwa mapigo.
I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.
33
Lakini fadhili zangu sitamwondolea yeye, Wala sitafanya uaminifu wangu kuwa uongo.
But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.
34
Mimi sitalihalifu agano langu, Sitalibadili neno lililotoka midomoni mwangu.
I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
35
Neno moja nimeliapa kwa utakatifu wangu, Hakika sitamwambia Daudi uongo,
Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—I will not lie to David—
36
Wazao wake watadumu milele, Na kiti chake kitakuwa kama jua mbele zangu.
his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,
37
Kitathibitika milele kama mwezi; Shahidi aliye mbinguni mwaminifu.
like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
38
Walakini Wewe umemtupa na kumkataa, Umemghadhibikia masihi wako.
Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.
39
Umechukizwa na agano la mtumishi wako, Umeinajisi taji yake na kuitupa chini.
You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.
40
Umeyabomoa maboma yake yote, Umezifanya ngome zake kuwa magofu.
You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.
41
Wote wapitao njiani wanateka mali zake; Amekuwa laumu kwa jirani zake;
All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors.
42
Umeutukuza mkono wa kuume wa watesi wake; Umewafurahisha wote wanaomchukia.
You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43
Pia umeurudisha nyuma ukali wa upanga wake; Wala hukumsimamisha vitani.
You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.
44
Umeikomesha fahari yake; Kiti chake cha enzi umekitupa chini.
You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
45
Umezipunguza siku za ujana wake; Umemvika aibu.
You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah
46
Ee Bwana, hata lini? Utajificha hata milele? Ghadhabu yako itawaka kama moto?
How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire?
47
Ukumbuke jinsi mimi nisivyo wa kudumu; Kwa ubatili gani umeiumba jamii ya wanadamu!
Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!
48
Ni mwanamume gani atakayeishi asione mauti, Atakayejiokoa nafsi yake na mkono wa kuzimu?
What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
49
Bwana, zi wapi fadhili zako za kwanza, Ulizomwapia Daudi kwa uaminifu wako?
Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David?
50
Ee Bwana, ukumbuke, Wanavyosimangwa watumishi wako; Jinsi ninavyostahimili kifuani mwangu Masimango ya watu wengi.
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—
51
Ambayo adui zako wamesimanga, Ee Bwana, Naam, wamezisimanga hatua za masihi wako.
how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!
52
Na ahimidiwe Bwana milele. Amina na Amina.
Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
