Psalms 144

1 Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

1 Sifa ni kwa Bwana Mwamba wangu, aifundishaye mikono yangu vita, na vidole vyangu kupigana.

2 He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

2 Yeye ni Mungu wangu wa upendo na boma langu, ngome yangu na mwokozi wangu, ngao yangu ninayemkimbilia, ambaye huwatiisha mataifa chini yangu.

3 O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?

3 Ee Bwana, mwanadamu ni nini hata umjali, Binadamu ni nini hata umfikirie?

4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

4 Mwanadamu ni kama pumzi, siku zake ni kama kivuli kinachopita.

5 Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

5 Ee Bwana, pasua mbingu zako, ushuke, gusa milima ili itoe moshi.

6 Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.

6 Peleka umeme uwatawanye adui, lenga mishale yako uwashinde.

7 Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,

7 Nyoosha mkono wako kutoka juu, nikomboe na kuniokoa kutoka maji makuu, kutoka mikononi mwa wageni

8 whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

8 ambao vinywa vyao vimejaa uongo, na mikono yao ya kuume ni midanganyifu.

9 I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—

9 Ee Mungu, nitakuimbia wimbo mpya, kwa zeze yenye nyuzi kumi nitakuimbia,

10 to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.

10 kwa Yule awapaye wafalme ushindi, ambaye humwokoa Daudi, mtumishi wake kutokana na upanga hatari.

11 Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

11 Nikomboe na uniokoe kutoka mikononi mwa wageni ambao vinywa vyao vimejaa uongo, na mikono yao ya kuume ni midanganyifu.

12 Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.

12 Kisha wana wetu wakati wa ujana wao watakuwa kama mimea iliyotunzwa vizuri, binti zetu watakuwa kama nguzo zilizoviringwa kurembesha jumba la kifalme.

13 Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.

13 Ghala zetu zitajazwa aina zote za mahitaji. Kondoo zetu watazaa kwa maelfu, kwa makumi ya maelfu katika mashamba yetu;

14 Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.

14 maksai wetu watakokota mizigo mizito. Hakutakuwa na kubomoka kuta, hakuna kuchukuliwa mateka, wala kilio cha taabu katika barabara zetu.

15 Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.

15 Heri watu ambao hili ni kweli; heri wale ambao Bwana ni Mungu wao.
