Psalms 52
1 Unto the end, understanding for David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
Kwa mwimbishaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Baada ya Doegi, Mwedomu kumwendea Sauli na kumjulisha kuwa: “Daudi amekwenda nyumbani kwa Ahimeleki.” Ewe jitu, mbona unajivunia ubaya? Kwa nini unajivuna mchana kutwa, wewe ambaye ni fedheha mbele za Mungu?
2 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
Ulimi wako hupanga mashauri mabaya ya maangamizi. Ni kama wembe mkali, ninyi mfanyao hila.
3 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
Unapenda mabaya kuliko mema, uongo kuliko kusema kweli.
4 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
Unapenda kila neno lenye kudhuru, ewe ulimi wenye hila!
5 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
Hakika Mungu atakushusha chini kwa maangamizi ya milele: atakunyakua na kukuondoa kwa nguvu kutoka hema yako, atakungʼoa kutoka nchi ya walio hai.
6 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
Wenye haki wataona na kuogopa, watamcheka, wakisema,
7 Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
“Huyu ni yule mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa ngome yake, bali alitumainia wingi wa utajiri wake, na akawa hodari kwa kuwaangamiza wengine!”
8 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
Lakini mimi ni kama mti wa mzeituni unaostawi katika nyumba ya Mungu, nautegemea upendo wa Mungu usiokoma milele na milele.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
Nitakusifu milele kwa yale uliyoyatenda, nitatumaini jina lako, kwa kuwa jina lako ni jema. Nitakusifu mbele ya watakatifu wako.
