Psalms 59
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when Saul sent and watched his house, in order to execute him. Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Sauli alipotuma wapelelezi nyumbani mwa Daudi ili wamuue. Ee Mungu, uniokoe na adui zangu, unilinde kutokana na hao wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
Uniponye na watu watendao mabaya, uniokoe kutokana na wamwagao damu.
3 For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.
Tazama wanavyonivizia! Watu wakali wananifanyia hila, ingawa Ee Bwana, mimi sijakosea wala kutenda dhambi.
4 And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.
Sijatenda kosa; hata hivyo wako tayari kunishambulia. Inuka unisaidie, uone hali yangu mbaya!
5 Rise up to meet me, and see: even you, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Reach out to visit all nations. Do not take pity on all those who work iniquity.
Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli! Zinduka uyaadhibu mataifa yote, usionyeshe huruma kwa wasaliti.
6 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
Hurudi wakati wa jioni, wakibweka kama mbwa, wakiuzurura mji.
7 Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”
Tazama yale wanayotema kutoka vinywa vyao, hutema upanga kutoka midomo yao, nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetusikia?”
8 And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.
Lakini wewe, Bwana, uwacheke; unayadharau mataifa hayo yote.
9 I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.
Ee nguvu yangu, ninakutazama wewe, wewe, Ee Mungu, ndiwe ngome yangu,
10 My God, his mercy will precede me.
Mungu wangu unipendaye. Mungu atanitangulia, naye atanifanya niwachekelee wale wanaonisingizia.
11 God will oversee my enemies for me. Do not slay them, lest at times my people may forget them. Scatter them by your virtue. And depose them, O Lord, my protector,
Lakini usiwaue, Ee Bwana, ngao yetu, au sivyo watu wangu watasahau. Katika uwezo wako wafanye watangetange na uwashushe chini.
12 by the offense of their mouth and by the speech of their lips. And may they be caught in their arrogance. And, for their cursing and lying, they will be made known
Kwa ajili ya dhambi za vinywa vyao, kwa ajili ya maneno ya midomo yao, waache wanaswe katika kiburi chao. Kwa ajili ya laana na uongo wanaotamka,
13 at the consummation, in the fury of the consummation, and so they will be no more. And they will know that God will rule over Jacob, even to the ends of the earth.
wateketeze katika ghadhabu, wateketeze hadi wasiwepo tena. Ndipo itakapofahamika katika miisho ya dunia kwamba Mungu anatawala juu ya Yakobo.
14 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
Hurudi jioni, wakibweka kama mbwa, wakiuzurura mji.
15 They will be dispersed in order to gnaw, and truly, when they will not have been satisfied, they will murmur.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula, wasipotosheka hubweka kama mbwa.
16 But I will sing your strength, and I will extol your mercy, in the morning. For you have been my supporter and my refuge in the day of my tribulation.
Lakini mimi nitaziimba nguvu zako, asubuhi nitaimba juu ya upendo wako; kwa maana wewe ndiwe ngome yangu na kimbilio langu wakati wa shida.
17 To you, my helper, I will sing psalms. For you are God, my supporter. My God is my mercy.
Ee uliye Nguvu zangu, ninakuimbia sifa. Wewe, Ee Mungu, ndiwe ngome yangu, Mungu unipendaye.
