Psalms 52

1 To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

Kwa nini wewe unajivunia kufanya uovu, wewe mtu mwenye nguvu? Uaminifu wa agano la Mungu huja kila siku.

2 Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

Ulimi wako hupanga uharibifu kama wembe mkali, na kufanya udanganyifu.

3 You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

Wewe unapenda uovu kuliko wema na udanganifu kuliko kuongea haki. (Selah)

4 Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

Wewe hupenda maneno ambayo huwaumiza wengine, wewe ulimi mdanganyifu.

5 But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

Vivyo hivyo Mungu atakuadhibu wewe milele; yeye atakuchukua na kukuondoa katika hema yako na kukung'oa katika ardhi ya uhai. (Selah)

6 The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

Wenye haki pia wataona na kuogopa; watamcheka na kusema,

7 See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

“Tazama, huyu ni mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa kimbilio lake la usalama, bali aliamini katika wingi wa mali zake, naye alikuwa na nguvu alipowaharibu wengine.”

8 But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

Lakini kwangu mimi, niko kama mti bora wa mzeituni katika nyumba ya Mungu; Nami nitaamini uaminifu wa agano la Mungu milele na milele.

9 I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.

Nitakushukuru wewe daima kwa uliyo tenda. Nitalisubiri jina lako, kwa sababu ni zuri, uweponi mwa wantu wako wa kimungu.
