< Psalms 62 >
1 To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Upon God alone doth my soul rest peacefully; from him is my salvation.
Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be greatly moved.
Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa kamwe.
3 How long will ye assail a man; will ye [seek], all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?
Mpaka lini, ninyi nyote, mtamshambulia mtu, ili kwamba mumpindue yeye kama ukuta ulio inama au kama fensi isiyo imara?
4 They only consult to thrust [him] down from his excellency; they delight in lies; they bless with their mouth, but in their inward part they curse. (Selah)
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 Upon God alone, O my soul, rest peacefully; for my expectation is from him.
Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; kwa maana matumaini yangu yako kwake.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation; my high fortress: I shall not be moved.
Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa.
7 With God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Na Mungu ni wokovu wangu na utukufu wangu; mwamba wa nguvu yangu na kimbilio langu salama liko katika Mungu.
8 Confide in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is our refuge. (Selah)
Mwaminini Mungu wakati wote, ninyi watu; mimina moyo wako mbele zake; Mungu ni kimbilio salama kwa ajili yetu. (Selah)
9 Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together [lighter] than 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 Put not confidence in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
Usiamini katika ukandamizaji au wizi; usitumainie utajiri, maana hawatazaa matunda; usiuweke moyo wako kwenye hivyo.
11 Once hath God spoken, twice have I heard this, that strength [belongeth] unto God.
Mungu ameongea mara moja, mara mbili nimesikia hili: nguvu ni za Mungu.
12 And unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] loving-kindness; for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Pia kwako, Bwana, ni uaminifu wa agano, maana humlipa kila mtu kwa kile alichokifanya.
