Psalms 59
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
Uniokoe dhidi ya adui zangu, Mungu wangu; uniweke mahali pa juu mbali na wale wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Uniweke salama mbali na wafanyao kazi ya uovu, na uniokoe dhidi ya watu wenye kiu ya damu.
3 For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
Maana, tazama, wanasubiria uvamizini waniue. Wafanya maovu wenye nguvu hujikusanya wenyewe pamoja dhidi yangu, lakini sio kwa sababu ya makosa yangu au dhambi yangu, Yahwe.
4 Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
Wao wanajiandaa kunikimbiza ingawa sina kosa; amka unisaidie na unitazame.
5 And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw nigh to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause)
Ewe, Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, inika uwaadhibu mataifa yote; usiwe na huruma kwa mhalifu mwovu yeyote. (Selah)
6 They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
Wao wanarudi jioni, wanabweka kama mbwa na kuuzungukia mji.
7 Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
Tazama, wanapiga kelele mbaya kwa midomo yao; panga ziko kwenye midomo yao, maana wanasema, “Ni nani anaye tusikia?”
8 But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn; thou wilt utterly set at nought all the heathen.
Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utawacheka; wewe huwadhihaki mataifa yote.
9 will keep my strength, [looking] to thee; for thou, O God, art my helper.
Mungu, nguvu yangu, nitakuwa msikivu kwako; wewe ni mnara wangu mrefu.
10 [As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will shew me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
Mungu atakutana nami akiwa na uaminifu wa agano lake; Mungu atanifanya nione shauku yangu juu ya adui zangu.
11 Slay them not, lest they forget thy law; scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
Usiwaue, hivyo watu watasahau. Uwatawanye kwa nguvu zako na uwaangushe, Bwana ngao yetu.
12 [For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
Kwa ajili ya dhambi za midomo yao na maneno ya midomo yao, wakamatwe katika majivuno yao, na kwa laana na uongo ambao wao huelezea.
13 And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause)
Uwamalize katika gadhabu yako, uwamalize ili kwamba wasiwepo tena; wajue kuwa Mungu anatawala katika Yakobo na mwisho wa nchi. (Selah)
14 They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
Wakati wa jioni wao hurudi, wakibweka kama mbwa wakiuzungukia mji.
15 They shall be scattered hither and thither for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula na wanabweka kama mbwa kama hawajatosheka.
16 But I will sing to thy strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] thy mercy; for thou hast been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
Lakini nitaimba kuhusu nguvu zako, na asubuhi nitaimba kuhusu upendo wako imara! maana umekuwa mnara wangu mrefu na kimbilio la usalama katika siku ya taabu.
17 [Thou art] my helper; to thee, my God, will I sing; thou art my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
Kwako, nguvu yangu, nitaimba sifa; kwa kuwa Mungu ni mnara wangu mrefu, Mungu wa uaminifu wa agano.
