< Psalms 62 >
1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of David. Shall not my soul be subject to God? for from him is my salvation.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Kwa Mungu peke yake nafsi yangu inapata pumziko; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
2 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni ngome yangu, sitatikisika kamwe.
3 How long do you rush in upon a man? you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?
4 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
Walikusudia kikamilifu kumwangusha toka mahali pake pa fahari; wanafurahia uongo. Kwa vinywa vyao hubariki, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hulaani.
5 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: for from him is my patience.
Ee nafsi yangu, upumzike, kwa Mungu peke yake, tumaini langu latoka kwake.
6 For he is my God and my saviour: he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
Wokovu wangu na heshima yangu viko kwa Mungu, ndiye mwamba wangu wenye nguvu na kimbilio langu.
8 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. God is our helper for ever.
Enyi watu, mtumainini yeye wakati wote, miminieni mioyo yenu kwake, kwa kuwa Mungu ni kimbilio letu.
9 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
Binadamu wa ngazi ya chini ni pumzi tu, nao wa ngazi ya juu ni uongo tu; wakipimwa kwenye mizani, si chochote; wote kwa pamoja ni pumzi tu.
10 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.
11 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God,
Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,
12 And mercy to thee, O Lord; for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.
