Psalms 75

1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

Tunatoa shukrani kwako, Mungu; tunatoa shukrani, maana wewe unaufunua uwepo wako; watu huzungumza kuhusu kazi zako za ajabu.

2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)

Ingawa nchi na wenyeji wote watatikisika katika hofu, ninaifanyia nchi nguzo za kutosha. (Selah)

4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Nilisema kwa wenye kiburi, “Msiwe wenye kiburi,” na kwa waovu, “Msiinue mapembe.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

Msiinue mapembe yenu kwenye marefu; wala msizungumze kwa shingo ya kiburi.”

6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

Sio kutoka mashariki au magharibi, na wala sio kutoka jangwani ambako kuinuliwa kunakuja.

7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

Bali Mungu ni muhumkumu; humshusha huyu na kumuinua huyu.

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

Kwa kuwa Yahwe kashikilia mkononi mwake kikombe cha mvinyo wenye povu, ambao umechanganywa na vilolezo, naye huimimina. Hakika waovu wote wa duniani watakunywa mvinyo hadi tone la mwisho.

9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

Bali mimi nitaendelea kusema yale ambayo umeyatenda; nami nitamwimbia sifa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Yeye husema, “Nitayakata mapembe yote ya waovu, lakini mapembe ya wenye haki yatainuliwa.”
