< Psalms 62 >
1 For the end, a Psalm of David for Idithun. Shall not my soul be subjected to God? for of him is my salvation.
Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
2 For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.
Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa kamwe.
3 How long will ye assault a man? ye are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.
Mpaka lini, ninyi nyote, mtamshambulia mtu, ili kwamba mumpindue yeye kama ukuta ulio inama au kama fensi isiyo imara?
4 They only took counsel to set at nought mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)
Wanashauliana naye ili tu kumshusha chini kutoka kwenye nafasi yake heshimiwa; wao wanapenda kuongea uongo; wanambariki yeye kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyoni mwao wana mlaani yeye. (Selah)
5 Nevertheless do thou, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.
Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; kwa maana matumaini yangu yako kwake.
6 For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa.
7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
Na Mungu ni wokovu wangu na utukufu wangu; mwamba wa nguvu yangu na kimbilio langu salama liko katika Mungu.
8 Hope in him, all ye congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)
Mwaminini Mungu wakati wote, ninyi watu; mimina moyo wako mbele zake; Mungu ni kimbilio salama kwa ajili yetu. (Selah)
9 But the sons of men are vain; the sons of men are false, so as to be deceitful in the balances; they are all alike [formed] out of vanity.
Hakika watu wenye msimamo mdogo ni ubatili, na watu wenye msimamo mkubwa ni waongo; wao watakuwa wepesi kwenye mzani; uzito wao pamoja ni wepesi kuliko kitu chochote.
10 Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
Usiamini katika ukandamizaji au wizi; usitumainie utajiri, maana hawatazaa matunda; usiuweke moyo wako kwenye hivyo.
11 God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;
Mungu ameongea mara moja, mara mbili nimesikia hili: nguvu ni za Mungu.
12 and mercy is thine, O Lord; for thou wilt recompense every one according to his works.
Pia kwako, Bwana, ni uaminifu wa agano, maana humlipa kila mtu kwa kile alichokifanya.
