بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismi Allāhi ar-Raḥmāni ar-raḥīmi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful
Kwa Jina la Allah, Mwenye Rehema, Mwenye Kurehemu
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ لَمْ يُشْهِدْ اَحَدًا حِيْنَ فَطَرَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضَ
Al-ḥamdu lillāhi adh-dhiā lam yushhid aḥadan ḥīna faṭara as-samāwāti wālārḍa
All praise belongs to Allah, who did not call upon anyone to witness when He created the heavens and the earth,
Sifa zote ni za Allah, ambaye hakumshirikisha yeyote alipoumba mbingu na ardhi,
وَ لَا اتَّخَذَ مُعِيْنًا حِيْنَ بَرَءً النَّسَمَاتِ
Wa lā attakhadha muʿīnan ḥīna baraʾan an-nasamāti
nor did He take a helper when He brought forth the souls.
wala hakumchukua msaidizi alipowaumba viumbe vyenye roho.
لَمْ يُشَارَكْ فِى الْاِلٰهِيَّةِ وَ لَمْ يُظَاهَرْ فِى الْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ
Lam yushārak fiā al-ālāhiyyati wa lam yuẓāhar fiā al-waḥdāniyyati
He was not partnered in divinity, nor was He assisted in His oneness.
Hakushirikishwa katika uungu, wala hakusaidiwa katika umoja wake.
كَلَّتِ الْاَلْسُنُ عَنْ غَايَةِ صِفَتِهٖ وَالْعُقُوْلُ عَنْ كُنْهِ مَعْرِفَتِهٖ
Kallati al-ālsunu ʿan ghāyati ṣifatih wālʿuqūlu ʿan kunhi maʿrifatih
Tongues fall short of reaching the limit of His description, and minds fall short of comprehending the essence of His knowledge.
Ndimi haziwezi kufikisha mwisho wa sifa Zake, na akili haziwezi kufahamu hakika ya maarifa Yake.
وَ تَوَاضَعَتِ الْجَبَابِرَةُ لِهَيْبَتِهٖ وَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوْهُ لِخَشْيَتِهٖ
Wa tawāḍaʿati al-jabābiratu lihaybatih wa ʿanati al-wujūhu likhashyatih
The tyrants humble themselves before His awe, and faces bow down in fear of Him.
Wakandamizaji wananyenyekea kwa hofu ya utukufu Wake, na nyuso zinainama kwa khofu Yake.
وَ انْقَادَ كُلُّ عَظِيْمٍ لِعَظَمَتِهٖ
Wa anqāda kullu ʿaẓīmin liʿaẓamatih
Every great one submits to His greatness.
Kila mwenye ukuu ananyenyekea kwa ukubwa Wake.
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مُتَوَاتِرًا مُتَّسِقًا وَ مُتَوَالِيًا مُسْتَوْسِقًا
Falaka al-ḥamdu mutawātiran muttasiqan wa mutawāliyan mustawsiqan
So, to You belongs praise—continuous, harmonious, and ever-renewing.
Basi, sifa ni Zako—zikiendelea, zikiwa na mwafaka na zenye kuendelea bila kukoma.
وَ صَلَوَاتُهٗ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهِ اَبَدًا وَ سَلَامُهٗ دَاۤئِمًا سَرْمَدًا
Wa ṣalawātuh ʿalāā rasūlihi abadan wa salāmuh dāʾiman sarmadan
And may His blessings be upon His Messenger forever, and His peace everlasting, eternal.
Na rehema Zake zimshukie Mtume Wake daima, na amani Yake iwe ya kudumu milele.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ اَوَّلَ يَوْمِىْ هٰذَا صَلَاحًا وَّ اَوْسَطَهٗ فَلَاحًا وَاٰخِرَهٗ نَجَاحًا
Allāhumma ajʿal awwala yawmiā hādhā ṣalāḥan wwa awsaṭah falāḥan wākhirah najāḥan
O Allah, make the beginning of this day of mine righteousness, its middle success, and its end prosperity.
Ewe Allah, ufanye mwanzo wa siku hii yangu uwe mwema, katikati yake ushindi, na mwisho wake mafanikio.
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ اَوَّلُهٗ فَزَعٌ وَ اَوْسَطُهٗ جَزَعٌ وَ اٰخِرُهٗ وَجَعٌ
Wa aʿūdhu bika min yawmin awwaluh fazaʿun wa awsaṭuh jazaʿun wa akhiruh wajaʿun
And I seek refuge in You from a day whose beginning is terror, whose middle is anxiety, and whose end is grief.
Na najikinga kwako na siku ambayo mwanzo wake ni hofu, katikati yake ni wasiwasi, na mwisho wake ni maumivu.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ نَذْرٍ نَذَرْتُهٗ وَكُلِّ وَعْدٍ وَعَدْتُهٗ وَكُلِّ عَهْدٍ عَاهَدْتُهٗ ثُمَّ لَمْ اَفِ بِهٖ
Allāhumma inniā astaghfiruka likulli nadhrin nadhartuh wakulli waʿdin waʿadtuh wakulli ʿahdin ʿāhadtuh thumma lam afi bih
O Allah, I ask Your forgiveness for every vow I made, every promise I gave, and every covenant I pledged, then failed to fulfill.
Ewe Allah, nakuomba msamaha kwa kila nadhiri niliyoitoa, kila ahadi niliyoahidi, na kila agano nililofanya, kisha sikulitimize.
وَ اَسْأَلُكَ فِىْ مَظَالِمِ عِبَادِكَ عِنْدِىْ
Wa asʾaluka fiā maẓālimi ʿibādika ʿindiā
And I ask You concerning the wrongs of Your servants that are upon me.
Na nakuomba kuhusu dhuluma za waja Wako ambazo ziko juu yangu.
فَاَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنْ عَبِيْدِكَ اَوْ اَمَةٍ مِنْ اِمَاۤئِكَ
Fāyyumā ʿabdin min ʿabīdika aw amatin min imāʾika
So whichever servant from among Your servants, or maidservant from among Your maidservants,
Basi yeyote mja katika waja Wako, au mjakazi katika wake Wako,
كَانَتْ لَهٗ قِبَلِىْ مَظْلِمَةٌ ظَلَمْتُهَا اِيَّاهُ فِىْ نَفْسِهٖ اَوْ فِىْ عِرْضِهٖ اَوْ فِىْ مَالِهٖ اَوْ فِىْ اَهْلِهٖ وَ وَلَدِهٖ
Kānat lah qibaliā maẓlimatun ẓalamtuhā iyyāhu fiā nafsih aw fiā ʿirḍih aw fiā mālih aw fiā ahlih wa waladih
If there is against me a wrong done to one of Your servants—whether in his self, his honor, his wealth, his family, or his children—
Iwapo kuna dhuluma juu yangu dhidi ya mja Wako—iwe katika nafsi yake, heshima yake, mali yake, familia yake, au watoto wake—
اَوْ غِيْبَةُ اغْتَبْتُهٗ بِهَا اَوْ تَحَامُلٌ عَلَيْهِ بِمَيْلٍ اَوْ هَوًى اَوْ اَنَفَةٍ اَوْ حَمِيَّةٍ اَوْ رِيَاۤءٍ اَوْ عَصَبِيَّةٍ
Aw ghībatu aghtabtuh bihā aw taḥāmulun ʿalayhi bimaylin aw hawanā aw anafatin aw ḥamiyyatin aw riyāʾin aw ʿaṣabiyyatin
or backbiting I engaged in against him, or injustice through bias, desire, arrogance, zealotry, ostentation, or partisanship—
au kumsengenya niliyemsengenya, au kudhulumu kwa upendeleo, matamanio, kiburi, ujeuri, unafiki, au ubaguzi—
غَاۤئِبًا كَانَ اَوْ شَاهِدًا وَّ حَيًّا كَانَ اَوْ مَيِّتًا
Ghāʾiban kāna aw shāhidan wwa ḥayyan kāna aw mayyitan
whether he be absent or present, alive or deceased—
iwapo yupo mbali au karibu, akiwa hai au amekufa—
فَقَصُرَتْ يَدِىْ وَضَاقَ وُسْعِىْ عَنْ رَدِّهَا اِلَيْهِ وَالتَّحَلُّلِ مِنْهُ
Faqaṣurat yadiā waḍāqa wusʿiā ʿan raddihā al-yhi wālttaḥalluli minhu
and my hand is too short and my capacity too limited to restore it to him or seek release from it—
na mkono wangu ni mfupi na uwezo wangu ni mdogo wa kurejesha kwake au kujiondoa katika dhuluma hiyo—
فَاَسْئَلُكَ يَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الْحَاجَاتِ وَ هِىَ مُسْتَجِيْبَةٌ لِمَشِيَّتِهٖ وَ مُسْرِعَةٌ اِلٰى اِرَادَتِهٖ
Fāsʾaluka yā man yamliku al-ḥājāti wa hiā mustajībatun limashiyyatih wa musriʿatun al-ā irādatih
So I ask You, O He who owns all needs, and they respond to His will and hasten toward His command,
Basi nakuomba Wewe unayemiliki mahitaji yote, na ambayo yanaitikia kwa matakwa Yako na kuharakisha kutekeleza amri Yako,
اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تُرْضِيَهٗ عَنِّىْ بِمَا شِئْتَ
An tuṣalliā ʿalāā muḥammadin wa ali muḥammadin wa an turḍiyah ʿanniā bimā shiʾta
that You bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and that You make him pleased with me in whatever way You will,
kuwa umbariki Muhammad na Aali Muhammad, na umridhishe juu yangu kwa kadiri utakavyo,
وَ تَهَبَ لِىْ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ رَحْمَةً اِنَّهٗ لَا تَنْقُصُكَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ وَ لَا تَضُرُّكَ الْمَوْهِبَةُ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
Wa tahaba liā min ʿindika raḥmatan innah lā tanquṣuka al-maghfiratu wa lā taḍurruka al-mawhibatu yā arḥama ar-rāḥimīna
and grant me mercy from You, for indeed, forgiveness does not diminish You, nor does granting harm You. O Most Merciful of the merciful!
na unikunjulie rehema kutoka Kwako, hakika msamaha haukupunguzii, wala kutoa zawadi hakukudhuru. Ewe Mwingi wa Rehema kuliko wenye rehema!
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَوْلِنِىْ فِىْ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ ۟اِثْنَيْنِ نِعْمَتَيْنِ مِنْكَ ثِنْتَيْنِ سَعَادَةً فِىْ اَوَّلِهٖ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ نِعْمَةً فِىْ اٰخِرِهٖ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ
Allāhumma awliniā fiā kulli yawmin ithnayni niʿmatayni minka thintayni saʿādatan fiā awwalih biṭāʿatika wa niʿmatan fiā akhirih bimaghfiratika
O Allah, grant me on every Monday two blessings from You: happiness at its beginning through obedience to You, and a gift at its end through Your forgiveness.
Ewe Allah, unipe katika kila Jumatatu neema mbili kutoka Kwako: furaha mwanzoni mwa siku kwa utiifu Wako, na neema mwishoni mwa siku kwa msamaha Wako.
يَا مَنْ هُوَ الْاِلٰهُ وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ سِوَاهُ
Yā man huwa al-ālāhu walā yaghfiru adh-dhunūba siwāhu
O He who is the true God, and none forgives sins except Him.
Ewe ambaye ndiye Mungu wa kweli, na hakuna anayesamehe madhambi ila Yeye.
