Psalms 132

1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,

1 Ee Bwana, mkumbuke Daudi na taabu zote alizozistahimili.

2 how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

2 Aliapa kiapo kwa Bwana na akaweka nadhiri kwa Yule Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo:

3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

3 “Sitaingia nyumbani mwangu au kwenda kitandani mwangu:

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

4 sitaruhusu usingizi katika macho yangu, wala kope zangu kusinzia,

5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

5 mpaka nitakapompatia Bwana mahali, makao kwa ajili ya Yule Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo.”

6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

6 Tulisikia habari hii huko Efrathi, tulikutana nayo katika mashamba ya Yaara:

7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

7 “Twendeni kwenye makao yake, na tuabudu kwenye kiti cha kuwekea miguu yake;

8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

8 inuka, Ee Bwana, uje mahali pako pa kupumzikia, wewe na Sanduku la nguvu zako.

9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

9 Makuhani wako na wavikwe haki, watakatifu wako na waimbe kwa furaha.”

10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

10 Kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wako, usimkatae mpakwa mafuta wako.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

11 Bwana alimwapia Daudi kiapo, kiapo cha uhakika ambacho hatakitangua: “Nitamweka mmoja wa wazao wako mwenyewe katika kiti chako cha enzi,

12 If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

12 kama wanao watashika Agano langu na sheria ninazowafundisha, ndipo wana wao watarithi kiti chako cha enzi milele na milele.”

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

13 Kwa maana Bwana ameichagua Sayuni, amepaonea shauku pawe maskani yake:

14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

14 “Hapa ni mahali pangu pa kupumzika milele na milele; hapa ndipo nitakapoketi nikitawala, kwa sababu nimepaonea shauku:

15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

15 Nitambariki kwa kumpa mahitaji tele: nitashibisha maskini wake kwa chakula.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

16 Nitawavika makuhani wake wokovu, nao watakatifu wake watadumu wakiimba kwa furaha.

17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

17 “Hapa nitamchipushia Daudi pembe, na kuweka taa kwa ajili ya masiya wangu.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”

18 Adui zake nitawavika aibu, bali taji kichwani pake itangʼaa sana.”
