Psalms 59
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that 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 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
Uniponye na watu watendao mabaya, uniokoe kutokana na wamwagao damu.
3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
Tazama wanavyonivizia! Watu wakali wananifanyia hila, ingawa Ee Bwana, mimi sijakosea wala kutenda dhambi.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
Sijatenda kosa; hata hivyo wako tayari kunishambulia. Inuka unisaidie, uone hali yangu mbaya!
5 Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. (Selah)
Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli! Zinduka uyaadhibu mataifa yote, usionyeshe huruma kwa wasaliti.
6 They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
Hurudi wakati wa jioni, wakibweka kama mbwa, wakiuzurura mji.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
Tazama yale wanayotema kutoka vinywa vyao, hutema upanga kutoka midomo yao, nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetusikia?”
8 But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
Lakini wewe, Bwana, uwacheke; unayadharau mataifa hayo yote.
9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
Ee nguvu yangu, ninakutazama wewe, wewe, Ee Mungu, ndiwe ngome yangu,
10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, — God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Mungu wangu unipendaye. Mungu atanitangulia, naye atanifanya niwachekelee wale wanaonisingizia.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
Lakini usiwaue, Ee Bwana, ngao yetu, au sivyo watu wangu watasahau. Katika uwezo wako wafanye watangetange na uwashushe chini.
12 [Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.
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 Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
wateketeze katika ghadhabu, wateketeze hadi wasiwepo tena. Ndipo itakapofahamika katika miisho ya dunia kwamba Mungu anatawala juu ya Yakobo.
14 And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Hurudi jioni, wakibweka kama mbwa, wakiuzurura mji.
15 They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula, wasipotosheka hubweka kama mbwa.
16 But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.
Lakini mimi nitaziimba nguvu zako, asubuhi nitaimba juu ya upendo wako; kwa maana wewe ndiwe ngome yangu na kimbilio langu wakati wa shida.
17 Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
Ee uliye Nguvu zangu, ninakuimbia sifa. Wewe, Ee Mungu, ndiwe ngome yangu, Mungu unipendaye.
