< Psalms 62 >
1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
2 He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa kamwe.
3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
Mpaka lini, ninyi nyote, mtamshambulia mtu, ili kwamba mumpindue yeye kama ukuta ulio inama au kama fensi isiyo imara?
4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
Wanashauliana naye ili tu kumshusha chini kutoka kwenye nafasi yake heshimiwa; wao wanapenda kuongea uongo; wanambariki yeye kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyoni mwao wana mlaani yeye. (Selah)
5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; kwa maana matumaini yangu yako kwake.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa.
7 My salvation and my honor is with God. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Na Mungu ni wokovu wangu na utukufu wangu; mwamba wa nguvu yangu na kimbilio langu salama liko katika Mungu.
8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
Mwaminini Mungu wakati wote, ninyi watu; mimina moyo wako mbele zake; Mungu ni kimbilio salama kwa ajili yetu. (Selah)
9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
Hakika watu wenye msimamo mdogo ni ubatili, na watu wenye msimamo mkubwa ni waongo; wao watakuwa wepesi kwenye mzani; uzito wao pamoja ni wepesi kuliko kitu chochote.
10 Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
Usiamini katika ukandamizaji au wizi; usitumainie utajiri, maana hawatazaa matunda; usiuweke moyo wako kwenye hivyo.
11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
Mungu ameongea mara moja, mara mbili nimesikia hili: nguvu ni za Mungu.
12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
Pia kwako, Bwana, ni uaminifu wa agano, maana humlipa kila mtu kwa kile alichokifanya.
