Psalms 125

1 A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as mount Sion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

Wale wamwaminio Yahwe ni kama mlima Sayuni, hautikisiki, wadumu milele.

2 The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about his people, from henceforth and even for ever.

Kama milima inavyo izunguka Yerusalemu, hivyo ndivyo Yahwe anavyo wazunguka watu wake sasa na hata milele.

3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to be upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous should stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

Fimbo ya uovu haitatawala katika nchi ya wenye haki. Vinginevyo wenye haki wanaweza kukosea.

4 Do good, O Lord, to them [that are] good, and to them [that are] upright in heart.

Ee Yahwe, utende wema kwa wale walio wema na wale walio wanyoofu mioyoni mwao.

5 But them that turn aside to crooked ways the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

Lakini kwa wale wanaogeukia njia zao za upotovu, Yahwe atawaondoa pamoja na watenda maovu. Amani iwe na Israeli.
