Psalms 36
1 For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi mtumishi wa Bwana. Kuna neno moyoni mwangu kuhusu hali ya dhambi ya mwovu. Hakuna hofu ya Mungu mbele ya macho yake.
2 For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
Kwa kuwa machoni pake mwenyewe hujisifu mno hata hawezi kugundua au kuichukia dhambi yake.
3 The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
Maneno ya kinywa chake ni maovu na ya udanganyifu, ameacha kuwa mwenye hekima na kutenda mema.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
Hata kitandani mwake hupanga hila mbaya, hujitia katika njia ya dhambi na hakatai lililo baya.
5 O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
Upendo wako, Ee Bwana, unafika hadi mbinguni, uaminifu wako hadi kwenye anga.
6 Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
Haki yako ni kama milima mikubwa, hukumu zako ni kama kilindi kikuu. Ee Bwana, wewe huwahifadhi mwanadamu na mnyama.
7 How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.
Upendo wako usiokoma ni wa thamani mno! Watu wakuu na wadogo hujificha uvulini wa mbawa zako.
8 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
Wanajifurahisha katika wingi nyumbani mwako, nawe utawanywesha katika mto wa furaha zako.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
Kuwa pamoja nawe ni kijito cha uzima, katika nuru yako twaona nuru.
10 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Dumisha upendo wako kwa wale wanaokujua wewe, haki yako kwa wale walio wanyofu wa moyo.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
Mguu wa mwenye kiburi usije dhidi yangu, wala mkono wa mwovu usinifukuze.
12 There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
Angalia jinsi watenda mabaya walivyoanguka: wametupwa chini, hawawezi kuinuka!
