< Psalms 75 >
1 To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, tunakushukuru, tunakushukuru wewe, kwa kuwa jina lako li karibu; watu husimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.
2 When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.
3 When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.
4 I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.
5 Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”
6 For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.
7 But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.
8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.
9 But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
10 By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
