Psalms 26
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, nithibitishe katika haki, maana nimeishi maisha yasiyo na lawama; nimemtumainia Bwana bila kusitasita.
2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.
Ee Bwana, unijaribu, unipime, uuchunguze moyo wangu na mawazo yangu;
3 For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
kwa maana upendo wako uko mbele yangu daima, nami natembea siku zote katika kweli yako.
4 I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
Siketi pamoja na watu wadanganyifu, wala siandamani na wanafiki,
5 I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.
ninachukia kusanyiko la watenda mabaya na ninakataa kuketi pamoja na waovu.
6 I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
Ninanawa mikono yangu kwa kuwa sina hatia, naikaribia madhabahu yako, Ee Bwana,
7 That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.
nikitangaza sifa yako kwa sauti kubwa, huku nikisimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.
8 I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Ee Bwana, naipenda nyumba yako mahali unakoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako hukaa.
9 Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:
Usiiondoe nafsi yangu pamoja na watenda dhambi, wala uhai wangu pamoja na wamwagao damu,
10 In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
ambao mikononi mwao kuna mipango miovu, ambao mikono yao ya kuume imejaa rushwa.
11 But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.
Bali mimi ninaishi maisha yasiyo na lawama; nikomboe na unihurumie.
12 My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
Miguu yangu imesimama katika uwanja tambarare; katika kusanyiko kuu nitamsifu Bwana.
