< 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.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Kwa Mungu peke yake nafsi yangu inapata pumziko; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
2 For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved very much.
Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni ngome yangu, sitatikisika kamwe.
3 How long will you assault a man? you are all slaughtering as with a bowed wall and a broken hedge.
Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?
4 They only took counsel to set at nothing mine honour: I ran in thirst: with their mouth they blessed, but with their heart they cursed. (Pause)
Walikusudia kikamilifu kumwangusha toka mahali pake pa fahari; wanafurahia uongo. Kwa vinywa vyao hubariki, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hulaani.
5 Nevertheless do you, my soul, be subjected to God; for of him [is] my patient hope.
Ee nafsi yangu, upumzike, kwa Mungu peke yake, tumaini langu latoka kwake.
6 For he [is] my God and my Saviour; my helper, I shall not be moved.
Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.
7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: [he is] the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
Wokovu wangu na heshima yangu viko kwa Mungu, ndiye mwamba wangu wenye nguvu na kimbilio langu.
8 Hope in him, all you congregation of the people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our helper. (Pause)
Enyi watu, mtumainini yeye wakati wote, miminieni mioyo yenu kwake, kwa kuwa Mungu ni kimbilio letu.
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.
Binadamu wa ngazi ya chini ni pumzi tu, nao wa ngazi ya juu ni uongo tu; wakipimwa kwenye mizani, si chochote; wote kwa pamoja ni pumzi tu.
10 Trust not in unrighteousness, and lust not after robberies: if wealth should flow in, set not your heart upon it.
Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.
11 God has spoken once, [and] I have heard these two things, that power is of God;
Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,
12 and mercy is your, O Lord; for you will recompense every one according to his works.
na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.
